Aplicação prática do Postponement em uma empresa têxtil

Organizations seek increasing numbers of ways to serve their customers in a manner that is faster than that of their competitors while remaining efficient and effective, i.e., by not raising their costs; this constraint requires them to do more with less, seeking the implementation of techniques that can conform to their strategies. In this context, this paper presents the practical application of postponement in a textile company along with an analysis of the results. The work considers a case study, whose evidence was collected from various sources. The results provide an understanding of the manufacturing strategy adopted by the company without and with the adoption of postponement as well as an examination of the impact of application performance indicators of the company used in the study.
