Abstract

This course concerns the fundamental issues in information and flow management as well as the choice of the process types within supply chains end-to-end, both for manufacturing and service companies. Such an approach - global optimization as opposed to function-focused "silo" optimization - results in seamless integration of purchasing, production, and distribution across global networks, overcomes the effectiveness-efficiency tradeoff, and creates competitive advantage by improving both. Students will master process improvement by applying time-proven Lean Methodology in A3 projects to analyze the process performance, uncover the root-causes of performance issues and identify effective countermeasures. The course also examines Lean as a complete, comprehensive managerial system whose superiority rests on enabling and unleashing the intellectual capital of every employee.
