Building and Managing Lean Supply Chains

As today’s business strives to compete in a global market that’s continually expanding, establishing and maintaining a lean supply chain is more critical than ever. In ideal terms, the lean supply chain is one in which key processes are integrated into every enterprise involved - allowing your company’s product or service to reach the end-user quickly, efficiently, and economically. So how does an organization achieve this ideal?   

In this course, Building and Managing Lean Supply Chains, we take an in-depth look at the answer to that question, and explore a detailed plan for designing and implementing the most efficient and profitable supply chain possible. Not only can a lean supply chain system result in faster delivery times and better adaptability where customer needs are concerned, it promises superior financial performance. 

Building and managing a successful lean supply chain is achieved by means of a seven-step process. And by applying the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and fundamental Lean concepts to the basic supply chain system throughout this course, we’ll uncover a pragmatic and highly effective methodology for addressing both the operational and logistics sides of lean supply chain management.   

This course has been specifically developed to delve into the significance of systems thinking, and to demonstrate how to apply TOC and Lean practices to such essential concepts as growth-driven throughput, designing customer solutions that provide real value, flow balance considerations in end-user delivery, and the importance of collaboration in supply chain partner relationships. 

To build and manage a thriving lean supply chain, it’s necessary to examine such a system from every possible perspective. With the help of real-world examples and our seven-step approach, this course will show supply chain management students and professionals alike how the adoption of proven Lean principles can lead to tangible and meaningful results.
