Lean Replenishment

Mr.Suresh i completely agree with you.Lean manufacturing emphasizes quickly eliminating obvious sources of waste by focusing on processes. Let me give an example, Starting in the 1980’s companies like Boeing began the lean process to improve the quality of products and processes. The need for continuous quality improvement and total quality management became the cornerstones of Lean manufacturing principles and practices.But what about the time constraint with companies to implement this technique.

what do you say?

Yes i agree with suresh, and in global business today, suppliers can range from multinational corporations to smaller regional vendors and may be located all over the world. As a result, companies are faced with such challenges as poor inbound supply visibility, the inability to match demand and supply, high inventory and stock-outs, and the management of multiple communication channels with suppliers. Many companies do not have systems that provide visibility into inventory that is housed at their suppliers’ locations, so one needs effective lean replenishment in a just-in-time mode.
