sequential interdependence
, the output of one unit becomes the input for another
in a sequential fashion. This creates a moderate level of interdependence. At Nissan, for
example, one plant assembles engines and then ships them to a final assembly site at
another plant, where the cars are completed. The plants are interdependent in that the
final assembly plant must have the engines from engine assembly before it can perform
its primary function of producing finished automobiles. But the level of interdependence
is generally one way—the engine plant is not necessarily dependent on the final assembly
plant.
