Abstract

"High performance cells need a reliable source of materials flowing into the cells to realize all of their potential. Traditional Lean Supply Chain tactics may not be providing the performance that the assembly cells need. To break through, Supply Chain Value Stream Management needs to be implemented. This presentation will provide the steps necessary to engage suppliers and achieve a Lean Supply Chain through the use of Supply Chain Value Stream Mapping. Topics that will be covered in this presentation: " Lean Basic tools " Lean Supply Chain starting point " Reality view of Supply Chains " Breakthrough with Supply Chain Value Stream Management o The steps to achieve this will be presented in detail o Expected results will be reviewed " Attendees are encouraged share lessons learned on their own successes and failures with implementing Lean into the supply base.
