Lean Logistics for Supply Chain Excellence

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Professional, Regardless of the role that your organization plays in its supply chain, the ability to capture and sustain profits, meet customer demands, and minimize the consumption of resources defines the position of lean logistics value proposition. Wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers, retailers, suppliers, and all other stakeholders in the supply chain are under pressure to reduce and balance their costs, time, and inventories. Companies who can effectively deploy lean logistics into their unique supply chain management (SCM) processes will experience a competitive advantage that is difficult to imitate. Are you ready to acquire the knowledge and skills to lower supply chain costs and achieve faster turnaround times? Would you like to learn how to employ lean logistics concepts and practices that foster ongoing cost reduction and service improvement? If yes, then the Lean Logistics for Supply Chain Excellence training will provide you with the tools you need to meet these objectives. This two-day training will provide you with key lean concepts, practices, and ways of thinking to help your organization optimize supply chain performance. Via discussions, case studies, and related activities, you will leave this training with practical solutions to some of your most pressing SCM issues. We hope you can take the time out of your schedule to join us in this high-level learning environment. We look forward to seeing you in February at the Performance Institute Learning Center! Best Regards,

Try L. Muller Sr. Program Director, ASMI

what is lean? Lean is a way of thinking and acting with the foundation of maximizing customer value while utilizing fewer resources. Businesses in all industries and services, including healthcare and government, are employing lean principles to optimize performance and value delivery. A lean organization understands how to design and deploy processes with zero waste in pursuit of the ideal customer value creation. The ability to eliminate waste across entire value streams translates to less human effort, less capital, less cost, lest time to make products or services, and ultimately fewer process defects. With lean thinking and practices effectively integrated into your organization, you can respond to changing customer desires with high quality, low cost solutions, and very fast throughput times. The lean way of thinking leads to more simple, nimble, and accurate organizations.

how will lean help you? We know that logistics involves managing the flow of information, products, and services to the customer. Therefore, lean logistics is about increasing the speed and flow of information, products, and services while eliminating waste in the processes that drive this function. Learning how to integrate lean thoughts and practices will lead to decreased process and cycle times and ultimately increase supply chain flow and velocity. Furthermore, lean incorporates the cultural element of “Total Cost” or “Total Cost Ownership”, which will result in improved decision making and subsequently optimize supply chain performance.

5 Reasons to Attend: 1. L EVERAGE Lean concepts to optimize supply chain performance 2. IDENTIFY areas for waste reduction and operational efficiency 3. INTEGRATE lean logistics practices into all supply chain functions 4. STANDARDIZE processes to ensure uninterrupted flow of products and information 5. CAPTURE faster turnaround times and experience fewer errors in your logistics processes
