Course details
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) - A visual representation of the entire supply chain to identify areas of inefficiency and opportunities for improvement, key to Lean principles and supply chain optimization. •
Lead Time - The time it takes for a product or service to move through the supply chain, a critical performance metric for measuring supply chain efficiency and responsiveness. •
Throughput - The rate at which products or services are produced and delivered, a key performance indicator for measuring supply chain productivity and capacity. •
Inventory Turnover - A measure of how quickly inventory is sold and replaced, an essential metric for optimizing inventory levels and reducing waste. •
Cycle Time - The time it takes for a product or service to move from raw materials to delivery, a critical metric for measuring supply chain efficiency and responsiveness. •
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) - A method for identifying the underlying causes of problems and implementing solutions, a key tool for Lean problem-solving and supply chain improvement. •
Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) - A proactive approach to equipment maintenance that aims to maximize equipment effectiveness and minimize downtime, essential for supply chain reliability and resilience. •
Supply Chain Visibility - The ability to track and monitor the movement of products and services through the supply chain, critical for improving supply chain efficiency and responsiveness. •
Just-in-Time (JIT) Production - A production strategy that aims to produce and deliver products just in time to meet customer demand, a key principle of Lean production and supply chain optimization. •
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) - Quantifiable measures used to evaluate supply chain performance, essential for measuring supply chain efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness.
