Green Continuous Improvement Technology and Its Role in Reducing Failure Costs and Achieving Competitive Advantage
Mahmood Shukur Mahmood and Manal Jabbar Sorror
The Industrial companies suffer from high costs, especially the costs of failure in production, both internal and external, as a result of the lack of advanced and modern technology necessary to manufacture products, in addition to the use of poor quality raw materials, which led to the decline of these companies to low levels due to the high cost of production and the manufacture of poor quality products, which led to the loss of industrial companies in terms of the customer and the financial aspect, and the customer's orientation towards foreign products. In light of this, this research came to shed light on the necessary solutions and proposals to reduce the cost of production, especially about the costs of failure to improve the quality of products by moving towards strategic cost management techniques, as these techniques help reduce product costs and achieve a competitive advantage for industrial companies by enhancing the performance and quality of products, and one of these techniques is the Green Continuous Improvement technique.
