Leaning the Supply Chain

Andrew Feller, Director Supply Chain Services, KinetX, Inc. speaks of the rapid improvement of operations across the supply chain and shows how these improvements can be enabled by structured mapping of processes across organizational boundaries. Two alternatives are presented for enabling a structured process to identify and more seamlessly connect the information, material, and resource flows that must occur across the supply chain. One study is useful in continuous improvement projects, the other for the green-field design of a new supply chain.
