Abstract: | As display terminals technology matured and low cost suppliers began to enter the market, Hewlett-Packard (HP) found that its historical competitive advantages of technology, quality, and service would not be enough. Between 1985 and 1991, HP's Terminals Operation made a series of aggressive changes in order to regain its competitive position. First, HP reduced product cost by redesigning the entire product line. Second HP improved product availability by introducing a new distribution requirements planning (DRP) process. |
