ISO Created in 1947, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) hoped to bring standardization to a chaotic system of manufacturing. ISO intends to help standardize the quality and safety of products bought and sold between two companies, either domestic or abroad. In fact, Heizer & Render (2014) stated “the move towards global supply chains has placed so much emphasis on quality that the world has united around a single quality standard, ISO 9000” (p. 210). Its guiding principles

1.Describe standardization, format wars, and how standardization can lead to a format war. Standardization: Set of predefined specifications, rules or features that manufactures or producers need to follow when they make/produce the products/goods or components of it.

Format wars: It is a kind of battle or war among the companies

necessary to react with a sample. Concentrated hydrochloric acid is a solution containing about 35 % HCl by mass, but varies from batch to batch, due to the liquid fuming so much it becomes lost while transferring it from one place to another. The standardization of HCl and the Analysis of Na2CO3 can be determined by determining how much of the sodium carbonate solution is required to neutralize the hydrochloric acid, which we can calculate at a very precise value with the concentration of hydrochloric

Aldous Huxley noticed problems in his society. Today, people face some of those problems: standardization, the need for a “perfect” society, and how people rank others on class. These are problems that are all still around today. The issue of standardization began when Henry Ford created the factory line. Since, standardization can be seen everywhere. In present time, students in Indiana will take the ISTEP. ISTEP stands for “Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress”, (Office) this

Initiating Change in the Manufacturing and Distribution Division of PolyProd PolyProd has a big issue on their hands when it comes to cohesion within the teams and with their documentation process within the headquarters and the four other plants that they maintain in Africa, Asia, Canada, and Europe. Throughout this case study we repeatedly see the difficulties that are faced not only with the workers of the teams but also within the management styles and actions taken. Each of the different

legitimate variant with the highest level of excellence (Bex & Watts, 1999). Though positive in nature, standardization - the procedure of standardizing a language – often raises heated controversy because of its consequences on not only linguistics field but also the society. In the second part of the essay, I will focus on the disadvantages of language standardization. Language standardization is the process of developing a standard for both written and oral language.

Lastly, bureaucratic standardization could not be neglected in the suicide tragedy in Foxconn. This essay will analyze how the strict standardization influences Foxconn factory. Pun and Chan (2012: 38) have found that a frontline worker in Foxconn factory must finish 5 tasks in 10 seconds, so each task only takes 2 seconds to complete in an assembly line. They (2012: 38) also explain that Foxconn factory uses non-human technology, like stopwatches and industrial electronic devices to monitor frontline

2.3.1 Standardization vs. customization On one hand, standardization represents a way of reducing the costs, increasing productivity, lowering the prices and systemizing innovations so that they can be reproduced (Sundbo, 1996; Gallouj, 1994; Sundbo 1998, cited in Sundbo, 2002). Customization on the other hand, increases the customer satisfaction ensuring the perceived quality, creates opportunities for rising the price. Furthermore it enables innovation to take place near the customer, which offers

ISO: 9000, 186278 Created in 1947, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) hoped to bring standardization to a chaotic system of manufacturing. To help companies, ISO intends to help standardize the quality and safety of products bought and sold between two companies, either domestic or abroad. In fact, Heizer & Render (2014) stated “the move towards global supply chains has placed so much emphasis on quality that the world has united around a single quality standard, ISO 9000”
