This could result in the business surviving and becoming less likely to end up like Woolworths and what happened to their employees. On the other hand, during a recession I believe BA would not damage its relationship with its stakeholders.

Lean operations helps to reduce waste in production by using resources to only produce what the customer is demanding. A company that is using lean operations has measurable throughput. “Every minute that a product is not sold the cost accumulates and the competitive advantage is lost, this is the manufacturing cycle time” (Heizer and Render, 2010) this analysis could have been used to scale down production in the third and fourth quarter when it became obvious there was excess inventory. For starters, there is no value in holding 60 days' worth of inventory, to adopting lean principles would immediately help us to commit to inventory reduction and better alignment between production and demand.
