Description
While lean operations can produce significant benefits to an organization, the greatest benefits will not be realized unless lean is extended beyond the organization to involve both suppliers and customers. Lean Supply Chain: Collected Practices and Cases provides a variety of case studies taken from articles previously published in “Lean Manufacturing Advisor” — the monthly newsletter by Productivity Press. The text offers real-world information about the practical issues of managing the lean supply chain and working with supply chain partners. Articles are categorized in three areas — “Supply Chain Strategies, Building Partnerships,” and “Improving Distribution” — for easy reference.
