 Application of Coping Strategies
 Adaptation of Environmental Control
Measures.
BUFFERING
 In manufacturing, the concept of buffering
is defined as maintaining enough supplies to
keep operations running smoothly. These
supplies often include the raw materials
needed for production, and also the
inventories of finished products waiting for
shipment. Manufacturing facilities keep
these buffer inventories on hand to help
stabilize any fluctuations they experience
with their supply and demand chains,
production capacities and lead times.
SMOOTHING
 Statistical technique for removal of short
term irregularities in a time-series data to
improve the accuracy of forecasts. It uses
moving averages, or fits a curve to the
plotted data points on a graph, and is a much
simpler (although cruder) method than
exponential smoothing.
FORCASTING
 Forecasting is the use of historic data to
determine the direction of future trends.
Businesses utilize forecasting to determine
how to allocate their budgets or plan for
anticipated expenses for an upcoming period
of time. This is typically based on the
projected demand for the goods and services
they offer.
RATIONING
  Rationing refers to an artificial control on
the distribution of scarce resources, food
items, industrial production, etc. In banking,
credit rationing is a situation when banks
limit the supply of loans to consumers. In
economics, rationing refers to an artificial
control of the supply and demand of
commodities.
BOUNDARY SPANNING
 interact with individuals and groups outside
the organization to obtain valuable
information to help the innovation process.
Boundary spanning roles allow a company to
gain more innovation information from other
businesses. It is useful to gain insight from
other organizations that you may not be
aware of. Not just management is involved in
boundary spanning; all employees can get
information from one or more companies and
bring information back to their business to
help improve innovation.
STRUCTURAL COMPLEXITY
 This is when the business adapts to the
environment by setting up departments or
subsystems that will respond to specific
groupings of environmental factors.
EXECUTIVE SUCCESSION
 Enables the organization to hire executives
with new energy and vitality
 Provides organization with a way to bring in
specific skills needed to analyze and respond
to the environment
 Provides a coordinated means of replacing
retiring executives.
