Supply Chain Operations
Minimising the cycle time from supplier payment to customer payment ("cash out" to "cash in") forces waste out of your supply chain processes and minimises the working capital your company is using, as well as increasing the probability that your customers are getting the goods when they want them.
Removing waste from supply chain processes minimises the levels of inventory and of borrowing required to fund the working capital. And by reducing the level of inventories, supply chain issues are exposed. Through identifying and removing root causes of these issues, not only the speed but also the robustness of the supply chain can be dramatically improved.
Lean Business France can help you with all aspects of your Supply Chain operations, from your supplier relationship and purchasing functions through supply chain planning and warehouse management and on to delivery to the customers, through:
- providing basic supply chain and logistics training and education to your internal teams and also if necessary to the supply chain professionals within your key supplier and customer organisations,
- analysing your current supply chain processes through our supply chain assessment approach,
- improving your supply chain processes through the introduction of supply chain best practice and through removing waste from both the administrative and physical sides of your processes.
Most Supply Chain processes are ideally structured to be 'leaned' out, especially those stretching outside the boundaries of your company. For more information on how we can help, please contact us at contact@leanbusiness.fr.
