Value Metrics Extend Lean Thinking into the Demand Chain
Lean Thinking has been all about eliminating waste in the production of products or services – until now. Recent studies using the metrics of customer value now reveal that many value-adding activities extend beyond production and reside in the distribution of those products and services.
State College, PA (PRWEB) January 14, 2006 -- Lean Thinking has been all about eliminating waste in the production of products or services – until now. Recent studies using the metrics of customer value now reveal that many value-adding activities extend beyond production and reside in the distribution of those products and services. Based on research across both manufacturing and services industries, a new publication from ASQ’s Quality Press, Value-Driven Channel Strategy: Extending the Lean Approach, reveals that Lean initiatives take on a much more strategic quality when extended into channels of distribution, and when driven by the voice of the customer. Nominated for the prestigious Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing, Value-Driven Channel Strategy extends the tools of Lean beyond the supply chain and into the demand chain.
