Lean Supply Chains, Suppliers and Extended VSM
Lean Supply Chains
Extended Value Stream Mapping
Extended Value Stream Mapping and the development of a Lean Supplier network is the topic of this intensive, in-depth seminar. It starts with fundamental learning about supply chains using MIT's "Beer Game" and includes case study exercises from Toyota, Cisco and McDonalds. Participants explore the subtleties and nuances of a Lean Supplier network.
If your company is serious about suppliers, this is the program that can provide a deep understanding of fundamentals and tools for a long-term supplier strategy. It also includes an Extended Value Stream exercise taken from your own company.
