Procurement's role is changing, and doing things the way they've always been done, even well, is no longer enough. This 60-minute lean procurement training explains how to transform purchasing practices instead of just tweaking them.
You'll define lean principles, learn to spot non-value-added efforts and practices, and see focused tools including the Theory of Constraints and Kaizen with the five S's. The session then pulls these together into a game plan with measurements.
The aim is to adopt practices with key suppliers that make both sides winners in their markets, including getting suppliers to reduce lead time and building lasting trust.
Procurement teams are expected to deliver more than incremental improvement. Lean principles offer a structured way to cut waste and work with suppliers as partners.
This session suits chief procurement officers, purchasing directors, managers and agents, buyers, planners, supply chain managers and materials managers who want to shorten lead times, develop supplier trust and apply Kaizen and 5S in their work.
