This project is centered on "Riordan Manufacturing." Manufacturer of global plastics, Riordan, employs approximately 550 individuals whose salaries total an estimated $46 million on an annual basis. Listed by Fortune 1000 as having $1 billion plus yearly revenues Riordan Industries completely owns the company. The product line is inclusive of containers for beverages made from plastics in Albany, Georgia while Pontiac Michigan produces plastic parts that are custom made and the Hangzhou,
China plant manufactures fan parts made from plastic. Research and developments is located in San Jose, California. The customers of Riordan include manufacturers of aircraft, auto parts as well as the Department of Defense, makers and bottlers of beverages and manufacturers of appliances.
I. Executive Summary
Ideally speaking the information for each transaction within the Riordan should be entered by the individual or team within the department taking action with or making removal of or being the mover of the materials instead of all of this being performed by the inventory clerk. Although the inventory clerk is at the specific location of the actions with the material the information being keyed in by the department taking the action with materials would be much more efficient as well as giving a "real-time" accounting on the company's intranet.
The purpose of this project is to streamline operations as well as make cutbacks within Riordan Manufacturing Industries.
Stakeholders associated with the project are the employees of Riordan Industries in all locations in Georgia, San Jose, Michigan and in the country of China. This would also be inclusive of the owners of Riordan Industries, as well as the customers of Riordan.

However, certain elements of the Toyota Production System must be re-evaluated, particularly the conception of waste. If the principles of CCC21 and Value Innovation were based on the concept that production materials could be halved because they amounted to waste, those initiatives should be discarded.
