Riordan takes quality management serious and the operations, which take place to ensure quality control, quality assurance, and quality improvement as well as the measures taken to focus on product quality is extensive and detailed.
• Operations and Logistics- Logistics team analyze production schedules and determine inbound and outbound logistics needed for assigned plants as well as direct and coordinate program activities with vendors and customers. Logistics team also schedule inbound and outbound shipments, compute freight rates, and direct and coordinate activities of international operations.

Riordan Manufacturing Recommended Systems Riordan Manufacturing can greatly improve logistics of the process from raw goods to final products. Ideally, Riordan would be able to process under a zero inventory system. A shipment of raw goods would come in once a day to cover all orders for the day. The receiving area supervisor should have a hand held system where he can find the order of products and check off that it has arrived. This would let the manufacturing sector know that the raw goods are available to for use. The computer system, would then replace the need for the inventory clerk at this point in the process. Manufacturing the raw materials into a product will require the inventory clerk to keep track of what is going to manufacturing and assembly verse going to sub assembly and final productions. The inventory clerk should know where these goods are at all times. At the end of the shift the inventory clerk should have a detailed list of where all the products are in the manufacturing
