Résumé
Since the 75's, the operations management have changed very fast. There were a lot of changes in these operations to succeed in entering new markets and to be competitive. Indeed, changes in management are crucial so as to be competitive and to maintain a strong position in the economical context. The main reason of these changes is the evolution of the economy and its markets. Therefore, as far as companies are concerned, the evolution of their strategies is the only way to stay on a market and then to continue being competitive alongside their competitors.
I have decided to focus my search on two main points: the evolution of the logistics and the battle for minimizing the costs of manufacturing.
In a first part, I will explain the different changes in the logistics since the 75's and in a second part I will develop the methods used by the producers to minimize the costs of their products.
