With continued pressures from globalization, market volatility, and innovation expectations, companies are extending their reliance on lean principles to outside the four walls of the manufacturing facility. Lean inbound logistics requires strategic coordination to synchronize suppliers, transportation providers and multiple supply chain partners. And like all complex multi-party operations, the road to improvement will have its challenges. Such hurdles could include balancing inventory cost with transportation cost, the lack of leadership understanding and support, and the realities of incumbent manufacturing and procurement contracts and systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis course focuses on the why and how to implement lean logistics to support the lean supply chain operations \u2013 both in manufacturing and distribution. Areas of focus include: lean strategy development, identifying and overcoming operational realities, and learning the tools necessary for successful implementation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpecial Note:\u0026nbsp;Includes a tour of the port of Savannah\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Ch3 class=\u0022views-label views-label-field-course-attendees gt-ed-blue-underline\u0022\u003EWho Should Attend\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECompany owners, consultants, logistics service providers, chief supply chain officers, vice presidents of sales operations, vice presidents and directors of process improvement, and executive, senior, vice presidents, and directors of supply chain, logistics, procurement, manufacturing, or distribution\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\u003EMap the current inbound logistics network.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EAppreciate the distinct nature of the inbound logistics network as a link to suppliers and manufacturing facilities and part of the overall value chain.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ECalculate total logistics costs.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDesign a future state network based on lean principles.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELearn techniques in transportation management, supplier management, and materials planning to achieve improved material flow balances and reduced overall costs.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELearn the keys to strategic supplier management.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EUnderstand how lean guiding principles serve as the strategic pathway to lean inbound logistics.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMilk Run development and mode selection.\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\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EStrategic value of lean inbound logistics and total logistics cost\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EGetting started \u2013 Current state map\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELean logistics network design \u2013 Desired state and planning for implementation\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMaterial ordering and\u0026nbsp;supplier management\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELean logistics engineering and\u0026nbsp;transportation management\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EYard control and\u0026nbsp;material receiving\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EImplementing, sustaining, improving\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ETour of port operations\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThis course focuses on the why and how to implement lean logistics to support the lean supply chain operations \u2013 both in manufacturing and distribution.
