LEAN SUPPLIER INTEGRATION

Getting products to the market faster has never been so important. Receiving accurate information from the suppliers faster is the first step to achieving that objective. Supplier integration is a model for improving the link of the supply chain between manufacturers and their tier of suppliers of materials for their products. Cooperating together, both parties sharing information are able to exercise judgment on costs, quantities and timing of deliveries in order to rationalise the product flow and to move to a collaborative relationship.

The ‘new truth’ in manufacturing and supply chain – how lean and agile methods can help you succeed

Right now, manufacturers barely have time to catch their breath, never mind consider how the future may look. Manufacturers face a unique set of constraints that make the pandemic crisis particularly challenging: Factories have high sunk costs, a need for skilled labor, and complex supply chains. Even if is still possible to operate in the crisis, operations can be easily interrupted by key skilled workers being absent or supply chains being interrupted. Simply put, with that level of sunk costs coupled with a dependency on commodity pricing, operational losses can mount quickly.
