Lean Supply Chain Execution and World-class Supply Chain Management - Maximizing Supply Chain Performance in the Extended Value StreamAn Executive Overview: Over the past 15 to 20 years, thousands of manufacturing companies have jumped on the "Lean" bandwagon. Though many have seen notable gains inside the "four walls" of their companies, a more competitive, truly "Lean" supply chain can bring huge gains in performance. This implies the need to move to "frictionless" exchange between trading partners (Trading partners typically include suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, customers, and consumers - commonly called a Supply Chain.) This opportunity to move toward the networked or virtual Value Stream is redefining the business relationship among trading partners. Who Should Attend:Business Owners, CEOs, CFOs, Presidents, CIOs, CTOs, Supply Chain Officers and professionals, Procurement, Lean Champions Materials, and Operations professionals, - people with an interest in learning how to leverage Lean/World Class Manufacturing methodologies, practices and principles with IT and the Supply Chain. This compelling presentation gives executives and practitioners insights into this subject matter and provides ideas to consider in the years ahead. About the Presentation:With the accelerating need for high quality, low cost, and fast turnaround, only those enterprises with the best supply chain will prosper. Part of the picture is appropriate technology and organizational business structures across the Value Stream and trading partners. For Value Stream partners to survive, they must respond quickly to queries for goods and services. Trading partners who do not aggressively expand their capabilities to achieve a world-class level of Lean Supply Chain Integration will soon be rusty relics of days gone by…Mastering Lean Supply Chain Execution (LSCE) strategies is essential.
