Therefore, we need to be able to answer the question \u0022How does Lean apply to the supply chain?\u0022 Connecting Lean to supply chain management is the core purpose of Module 2. Students will build upon their knowledge in module one and learn how to apply Lean principles and problem solving to supply chain functions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe overarching theme for module 2 is \u0022systems thinking,\u0022 where we understand how \u0022pull and one piece flow\u0022 will lead to reductions to \u0022total cost\u0022 of the supply chain. Students will once again be challenged to questions mental models such as economies of scale and replace them with mental models such as economies of time. Having completed module 2, students will not only be Lean problem solvers, they will understand how to connect lean and waste reduction to supply chain functions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3 class=\u0022views-label views-label-field-course-attendees gt-ed-blue-underline\u0022\u003EWho Should Attend\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESupply chain professionals, logistics professionals, material managers, production control managers, transportation managers, warehousing managers and purchasing managers\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch3 class=\u0022views-label views-label-field-course-benefits gt-ed-blue-underline\u0022\u003EHow You Will Benefit\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EReduce total cost of ownership\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EReduce inventory levels\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EReduce logistics costs\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EReduce space requirements\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EReduce lead time\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EIncrease fill rates\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EImprove supplier performance and accountability\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EImprove customer satisfaction and customer relationships\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EReduce overall organizational and operational waste\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Ch3 class=\u0022views-label views-label-field-course-agenda gt-ed-blue-underline\u0022\u003EWhat Is Covered\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch6 class=\u0022gt-ed-blue\u0022\u003EDay 1 - Setting the Corporate Stage\u003C\/h6\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EGetting Organized\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELean Chain Guiding Principles\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EValue Steam Mapping - Supply Chain Current State\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELean Logistics Network Design\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMoving from Push to Pull\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Ch6 class=\u0022gt-ed-blue\u0022\u003EDay 2- Tactical Implementation\u003C\/h6\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003ECustomer Focus - Takt Time and SKU Stability\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELean Outbound Logistics\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ESupermarket - Push Pull Kanban\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EShipping - Receiving - Yard Management\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMaterial and Parts Ordering\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELean Inbound Logistics\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELean Supplier Management \u0026amp; Collaboration\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Ch6 class=\u0022gt-ed-blue\u0022\u003EDay 3 - Learning from Case Studies\u003C\/h6\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003ECase Study - Lean Transportation\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ECase Study - Lean Distribution\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ECase Study - Lean Supplier Management\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EOne of the most misunderstood elements of lean thinking is that lean is primarily about effective supply chain management.
