Encompassing: Achieve network of well-connected community in an increasingly complicated and globally dispersed industry.
“Complexity masters report more flexible production capacity to change plant loading and greater ability to adjust product mix and volumes. Thus, they are not as vulnerable to forecast error or demand volatility, both of which are inevitable in the real-world marketplace” – Deloitte Research Global Manufacturing Study, 2003
