Lean Supply Chain and Logistics Simulation Description of Roles - Paperwork - Flow

Lean Supply Chain and Logistics Simulation Description of Roles - Paperwork - Flow

Enna's Lean Supply Chain & Logistics Simulation will help your company realize its goal of becoming more Lean more agile and taking a lead over the competition. This is a hands-on simulation that demonstrates the effectiveness of Lean in the specialized context of the Supply Chain Logistics and Distribution environment. Throughout the three rounds of the simulation the participants will learn the importance of reducing batch size and streamlining the process flow as well as learning how to apply new concepts. Step by step team members become familiar with Lean and take these Lean concepts and apply them directly during the simulation. By dealing with everything from orders received working with the supplier and finally shipping the product the participants will gain an understanding of the importance of seeing the entire Supply Chain. The simulation comes with a Flash presentation including a results tracking sheet that is completed at the end of each round in order to help visualize improvement and profitability. Through a subtle change between Rounds 1 and 2 and a larger Lean transformation after Round 3 the benefits of Lean will become clearly apparent. Not only does this visualization help the participants see and experience Lean but also how it will be advantageous to them and their own job. | Lean Supply Chain and Logistics Simulation Description of Roles - Paperwork - Flow

Supply Chains in Reverse Logistics The Process Approach for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Supply Chains in Reverse Logistics The Process Approach for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Currently it is obvious that new types of production (Industry 4. 0) are accompanying new ways of distribution which advance logistics physical distribution science and even supply chain management. The changing environment for carrying out logistics activities is also important for the development of the supply chain. Care for ecology the recent pandemic and the situation in Ukraine are other reasons to adapt logistics to the needs of an individual customer/recipient. It would be impossible without developing an appropriate strategy and applying appropriate tools for managing supply chains in the national and international dimensions. This book specifically addresses these issues. When analyzing the needs and structure of modern supply chains in the context of their safety and risk reduction it is impossible to ignore the problem of digitization which allows for logistic analysis of the company determining optimal routes designing logistic systems optimizing storage processes and costs and predicting possible threats (crisis situations) and their effects (losses). IT support automatic data exchange e-logistics telematics traceability and chatbots between various departments of the company along the upper and lower parts of the supply chain improve the flow of material and accompanying information through automation robotization proactivity and document digitization. These new trends make it possible to define logistics as modern logistics using new achievements of science and technology. Modern logistics must also consider ecological aspects in line with assumptions about protecting the environment and improving our climate. Efficiently organized reverse logistics is not without significance for ecology. It is supported by renewable energy electric vehicles proper education in the field of a closed economy cleaner production waste minimization the use of passive infrastructure and proper waste management that allows us to positively influence environmental protection and human health. To meet the needs of creating modern supply chains the authors developed this powerful book in which they analyze and present current and future solutions that influence the development of these issues in modern reverse logistics. | Supply Chains in Reverse Logistics The Process Approach for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Lean Transportation Management Using Logistics as a Strategic Differentiator

Lean Transportation Management Using Logistics as a Strategic Differentiator

This book provides an overview of the key transportation management processes from a shipper’s perspective. It enables managers to gain quick insight in the added value of transportation as a strategic differentiator its key drivers and guidelines on how to use them in an effective and efficient decision-making process. It explains how to identify and eliminate waste using basic Lean tools and proven concepts. The reader is guided on how to start implementing the Lean methodology and best practices in the industry to realize significant savings. Companies such as Adidas and Amazon are using transportation to increase sales by delivering purchased products faster than the competition. These companies do not treat transportation as a cost center. They are not focusing on reducing transportation spending. They allow customers to buy any product that is available in any store or warehouse and have it delivered to their homes. By delivering faster than the competition they increase sales. At the same time they lower their total supply chain costs as faster deliveries lead to fewer returns. Reduction of returns means higher sales and lower transportation costs for returns. The result is higher profits while creating more value for the customer. Transportation is moving from a cost center towards a profit center. The traditional logistics service providers are perceived to not innovate fast enough. Top management must understand the transportation management basics and use it in their strategic decision-making. They should be involved in discussions on how to organize the transport management function in the best way and how to use it as a service differentiator. Transportation is more than the efficient movement of supplies sub-assemblies and final products. In addition it is more than the key performance indicators on the business-balanced scorecard. Transportation management professionals fail to catch top management’s attention due to the use of technical language. It is more difficult to understand transportation key performance indicators such as loading degree net and gross pick-up and delivery reliability. It is easier to get top management attention when talking about lost sales due to stock-outs lost tenders due to long delivery times high inventory holding and scrap costs. | Lean Transportation Management Using Logistics as a Strategic Differentiator
