Announcing our groundbreaking new book: Lean Distribution: applying Lean Manufacturing to distribution, logistics and supply chain.

 

Kirk completed the book describing his experiences implementing Lean at several clients across their distribution and logistics operations. John Wiley & Sons is publishing Lean Distribution in November 2005. He presented an overview of the book at the Institute of Industrial Engineers' annual conference May 16 to a standing room only crowd and rave reviews!

The Lean Distribution approach and journey combines the best of Lean Manufacturing and advanced Supply Chain Management practices to simplify and streamline distribution replenishment processes. This moves distribution to market demand driven replenishment, which improves customer service, even in seasonal and short product lifecycle environments. By working to actual market demand, customer service improves, the Bull Whip effect is eliminated and production/sourcing schedules are stabilized.
