(Industrial and Systems Engineering))--University of Pretoria, 2010.At Nissan South Africa, situated in Rosslyn, Gauteng, there is a trend to improve their current logistical layouts throughout the supply chain and to make manufacturing and assembly more streamlined. In this project, the carpet supply chain will be redesigned from a Classic call logistical supplier to a Just In Time supplier. By applying innovative Industrial Engineering techniques and carefully analysing the various challenges, the goal of this project will be to eliminate and/or reduce the redundant material handling, quality checks, warehouse costs and the risks of damage that the carpets experience throughout the supply chain.enCopyright: University of PretoriaSupply chainLogistical redesignSupplier customer relationshipClassic callText
