Q.1. The most important argument for a stable schedule is that Lean is not very capable of dealing with a situation where sudden changes in production levels occur, since this affects the other entities in the system.

Another alternative is by the means of Banding. Banding is the process by which many different job levels are combined into smaller number job levels. There is an increased opportunity responsibility, training, and pay attached to seniority or performance. But there are decreased opportunities with delayering and banding.

In the recent past, there is a growing accord, on whether Canada should take a serious action in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, there are challenges related to the political appropriateness of carbon pricing.
