Most organizations today look for quick and easy solutions when
searching for cost savings and performance improvements. And
efforts to improve supply chain performance through forced price
reductions from suppliers or outsourcing often lead to a new set of
problems. Progressive organizations have begun to recognize the
need for a better and more permanent way to structure and manage
supply chains. One performance initiative for manufacturers,
service organizations, non-profit institutions and government can
be found in implementing Lean management philosophies throughout
the organization. As a philosophy, it is extremely robust meaning
it can perform without failure under a wide range of conditions in
any environment. Lean management is an end-to-end undertaking and
the focus of this book. While there are a number of valuable
resources that explain the Lean philosophy or focus solely on
operations or manufacturing, none provide an integrated, holistic
view and the "how to" needed to address today's relentless and
severe pressure to gain or improve a competitive advantage.
End-to-End Lean Management: A Guide to Complete Supply Chain
Improvement fills an important void in the current literature. It
shows how to apply Lean tools and techniques across the entire
supply chain: from suppliers, through transportation, into
operations, and through distribution to customers, with principles
applicable to all types of organizations. Managers across all
industries under constant pressure to find new sources of
competitive advantage and to demonstrate performance improvements
will find this book a timely and necessary resource. Organizations
must pursue a Lean model that best fits their unique requirements
and it is important to remember that Lean management is a
continuous journey. Become complacent and improvements will likely
begin to reverse themselves. Driven by the Lean philosophy and not
exclusively to the Toyota model, this unique book provides a broad
array of tools, techniques, measures and examples to support your
systematic and continuous Lean journey.
