Lean Supplier Development

Establishing Partnerships and True Costs Throughout the Supply Chain

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Taking a Lean approach, this book applies the concept of value mapping to the efficient design of a supply chain. It shows how to analyze and map the total supply chain process, assessing any gaps or redundancies that waste time. It takes into account the complexity of multiple suppliers, distribution centers, and dispersed customers. The text also examines the impacts of international sourcing and the organizational culture on supply chain process design and operation. The authors describe how to anticipate risks in the supply chain, observe the effect that time has on inventory, and assess where standardization is feasible and where customizing is needed.
