As a Lean Organization, Supply-chain management is a cross-functional approach that focuses on efficiently managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished goods out of the organization and toward the top consumer. It increases the speed to the market, quick replenishment, improves inventory turns, and overall reduces the inventory cost.
Just-in-Time is a methodology in Lean Manufacturing, aimed at reducing the throughput time between suppliers and customers.
Procuring inventory, in the right quantity, at the right time, and producing in smaller batches, helps in managing space, costs, and lead times, resulting in an effective value chain at optimal costs.
Logistics and distribution are the arms of sales. Owning or hiring a fleet of vehicles, and tracking and managing them is quite challenging.
The turnaround time is crucial to keep the velocity of the warehouse high, manage space, and improve the inventory turns.
Segregating the market into zones, designing routes, and standardizing delivery frequencies, if possible, improve the replenishment system on the shelves and increase the efficiency of the distribution system.
Applying Lean principles in this post-manufacturing activity along with seamless Lean business processes is a must for creating a better service experience for the distributor and the customer.
This Lean Tool is fundamental for supporting Inventory management, Kanban, and JIT.
