FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LEARN PROVEN SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGIES FROM THE FRONT LINES
NEW YORK… A complete value stream extends beyond the physical
boundaries of an enterprise. It also includes suppliers who provide parts and
raw materials and customers who purchase finished goods. Therefore, any lean
transformation that does not, at some point, focus on the extended supply chain
is fundamentally incomplete.
However, transforming the supply chain is not easy. Supply chain initiatives
require not only a thorough understanding of lean and the skills necessary to
apply lean principles, but also close working relationships with suppliers and
customers.
How to approach supply chain transformation issues has been the focus of many
articles -- many of them case studies -- in Lean Manufacturing
Advisor, Productivity Press' newsletter that chronicled monthly how
companies implemented lean principles. Productivity Press now brings these
articles together in Lean Supply
Chain - - Collected Practices and Cases, the latest in its Insights on
Implementation series.
Lean Supply
Chain's unique compilation of stories from the supply and
distribution front lines of the lean revolution is ideal for supply chain
executives from manager on up, at both OEMs and suppliers, as well as top
management. This book will also prove a valuable resource for executives at
distributor and shipping companies, and for consultants and
academics. Highlights include:
- Practical, in-depth descriptions of lean supply chain issues that have not
been detailed in any other book.
- A conversational, easy-to-read style.
- Stories are categorized into three areas - - Supply Chain Strategies,
Building Partnerships and Improving Distribution - - making it easier
for the reader to track-down the information they really want.
