Cost reduction, lead time reduction, JIT, made to order, on demand are only a few of the words often heard within a Supply Chain environment.
Competition is fierce, clients are demanding and it is a fact that we are more and more dealing with low labour cost countries like China, Taiwan but also Eastern Europe. This has significant impact on lead times, material planning, inventory control, quality and sourcing. Dealing with a variety of cultures and different ways of doing business from multiple locations/countries makes the flow more complex. At the same time the work force needs to work with clear and straight forward processes in order to guarantee your competitiveness.
