Rapid Results projects.

functional experts, and high potential

today’s supply Chain
PROGRAM OUTLINE
An effective LEAN supplier development program must be aimed
at improving suppliers performance, not browbeating them into
charging less or simply auditing and rewarding them. Instead,
supplier development is all about providing suppliers with what
they need to be successful in the supply chain.
This one-day workshop will address two of the most
important aspects of a supplier development program :
•
•
Providing information about products, expected sales growth,
etc. Poor communication is one of the biggest mistakes. Lack
of information translates into additional costs (usually in the
form of just-in-case inventory). Suppliers need to become
extensions of their customers.
Training and subsequent support in the application of Lean
Rapid Results improvement tools. Asking suppliers to drop
their price without giving them the know-how to lower their
costs through process improvement is not sustainable longterm.
