The John Deere Company had its humble beginning in 1837 when its founder, John Deere, developed the first commercially successful steel plow. ... The new procedures implemented include:
· JIT techniques and a manufacturing cell approach to production
· Increased quality control at the point of manufacture
· Corporate directive for component divisions to outsider companies and industries.
The John Deere Component Works (JDCW) is a captive producer of various component parts used in the original manufacturing of tractors and other equipment. ... JDCW was originally designed as a high volume production facility to meet the demands of other John Deere manufacturing divisions. ... These machines made component products from raw steel. Select personnel at JDWC was of the opinion that these machines could offer the company a competitive advantage in component manufacturing. ... Using its current method of overhead allocation JDCW was not going to be a successful manufacturer of component parts to OEM and other companies, despite its proven technological capabilities.
