Case Study 2
The Corning Environmental Technologies plant in Shanghai is a manufacturing hub that
makes catalytic converter substrates for automotive OEMs throughout Asia. The plant is one of
the highest yielding, highest quality factories in the Corning network and has achieved a record
of consistent improvement against key success factors. When the plant was first built, some
customers were skeptical of its capabilities. The engineering and managerial work force, while
well-grounded in theoretical education, hard work, and a tremendous willingness to learn, came
from a top-down oriented society that was reluctant to express ideas or suggestions. A primary
challenge for Corning management was to convince this excellent workforce that it was their job
to have opinions.
Investigation
Management helped with planning, facilitated issues, and provided Problem Solving and
Decision-Making training. In addition, a program was launched to integrate process thinking into
the way business was conducted every day. Processes were incorporated into standard
procedures and are used to resolve both production and commercial issues.
