    Ford developed flexibility in its operations through consolidation, reengineering processes, and developing IT systems. It consolidated automotive operations globally, reengineered products to reduce order to delivery time from 60 to 15 days. Intranet and extranet systems streamlined information flow, lowering response times. A large supplier network also reduced costs and improved response times, while flexible production systems allowed for more accurate forecasting and introduction of products globally at lower costs.
