Abstract:
Today's world is characterized by volatility and uncertainty. Cooperation is needed to survive in this harsh business climate. Cooperation in supply chains are practiced and well known but in today's tough and volatile environment it is simply not enough. Wastes and unnecessary processes have to be eliminated to secure a competitive advantage. Incorporating lean in supply chains get more and more attention and embrace in the modern literature and media. Lean implemented in supply chains is praised to create a proactive supply chain that successfully eliminate waste and create efficie

Abstract:
In humanitarian aid organisations, due to increasing pressure from donors, there is an urge to professionalise and optimise the way supply chains are managed. In the commercial companies there is strong evidence that focusing more on supply chain management can improve efficiency and lead to major cost savings which makes it very interesting for humanitarian aid organisations to adopt practices from the commercial world. The concepts of agility and leanness are said to prepare organisations to respond quickly to fluctuating customer demand (agility) and to increase efficiency through waste eli

Abstract:
In today's competitive manufacturing environment supply chains are spread across the oceans. For a large number of companies lean effort means closely examining the factory floor processes to pull the work. In reality the work on floor is triggered by demand from customer and lean goes well beyond four walls of the company. Today there is more reliance on the suppliers and contract manufactures for shorter lead times and quick responses to any changes in customer demand. Lean supply chain ontology proposes a model to achieve these goals of shorter lead times and faster response. The process ad

Lean is a management philosophy that enhances customer value through waste elimination and continuous improvement in a system by applying lean principles, practices, and techniques. The focus on lean implementations and research had been typically a single company without extension to the entire supply chain.

Manufacturing supply chains are invariably dynamic and complicated in nature. Hence, steady state models are not sufficient for analyzing and designing supply chains.

The use of system dynamics models in supply chain management has thus far been limited to explaining phenomenon like the bullwhip effect, and for policy development. We provide a structured

Abstract:
Increasing global competition, rapid technological changes, advances in manufacturing and information technology and discerning customers are forcing supply chains to adopt improvement practices that enable them to deliver high quality products at a lower cost and in a shorter period of time. A lean initiative is one of the most effective approaches toward achieving this goal. In the lean improvement process, it is critical to measure current and desired performance level in order to clearly evaluate the lean implementation efforts. Many attempts have tried to measure supply chain performance

Abstract:
Environmental pollution is the major problem that mankind faces in present state, the major emission of toxic gases is from vehicles and manufacturing industries. The thesis study focuses on three different types of Small Scale Industries (SSI) in India that are bumper manufacturing industry, dyeing industry and food processing industry. The product life cycles of the process for each industry are identified and their final green waste disposal methods are investigated. The industries are identified with more lean wastes within their product life cycle process. The major green wastes from thei

Abstract:
Lean production and Lean philosophy have been developed, studied and implemented over the world since it was know from Toyota Production System. International manufacturers/OEMs have more or less developed their own Lean production systems. Over the years, arising challenges from new technology and internationalization have force the OEMs to understand and evaluate the design of supply chain to support their lean production system, and to manage the SC and compete as a whole against other supply chains. When apply Lean principles to the level of Supply Chain, coordination is an essential eleme

Abstract:
The service industry worldwide continues to face unprecedented challenges in decision-making and in managing the operations involved in delivering products at low cost and ever-faster delivery speeds. These pressures exert an even greater impact upon small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in this industry who, influenced by globalisation, have to respond by handling the dynamic complexity within their operational supply chain. Many larger firms have implemented Lean and Six Sigma (LSS) and end-to-end integrated real-time information systems (RTI) that provide the information and t

Research questions: How should the supply chain within Micropower and Ecotec be coordinated in order to minimize the costs and keep a high customer service level?  1. What kinds of activities take place within the supply chain of Micropower and Ecotec and how are they coordinated? 2. What kinds of wastes can be identified and why do they occur? 3. What should be done in order to minimize these wastes?  Purpose: The overall purpose is to improve the coordination of the supply chain between the two facilities to minimize the airfreight without affecting the customer service level.
