Creating a Lean Manufacturing enterprise is
certainly no easy task, but essential to achieving Lean Supply Chain
Management. Achieving the goal requires much more than
just new software. Information Technology, however good, will
not by itself help you to achieve the results that are possible. In
fact, there are many more instances than not where the improper and
unbalanced application of new technology has done very little to
nothing (or worse) toward improving operating performance. If you
think a software company alone can deliver what you need, please,
think again.
The elusive and superior Supply Chain Management goal of Lean Flow Manufacturing can only
be achieved by the proper and balanced application of tools,
techniques, methodologies, organization and information technology.
Understanding what proper and balanced application should be in a
given company's situation requires very experienced, objective expertise.
