Apple invests in training workers for its supply chain
Hello, everyone. I work as an HR recruiter for manufacturing companies. Once, my father read an article about Apple's supply chain and asked, “Why do they need to train people at factories? Isn't that an expense?' I was initially confused, but then I explained that the article https://blog.gettransport.com/trends-in-logistic/apple-supply-chain-explained-simply-how-it-works/ on the Gettransport website states that skilled operators reduce defects and rework costs, and maintain the stability of the production process. I believe that recommendations such as open training programmes, staff rotation for knowledge sharing and fostering a culture of quality can significantly reduce costs and boost productivity. What do you think? Does this affect the efficiency of Apple's supply chain?
Hello, the impact on the supply chain is certainly positive for Apple. However, is it appropriate for smaller companies to use this model? For some reason, I thought that this model only worked in large corporations like Apple. But, as they write, you can really improve your production by following their example.
