One of the most misunderstood elements of lean thinking is that lean is primarily about effective supply chain management. Connecting lean to supply chain management is the core purpose of this course. Build upon the knowledge from course one and learn how to apply lean principles and problem solving to supply chain functions. Learn how “pull and one piece flow” will lead to total cost reductions of the supply chain. Upon completion students will not only be lean problem solvers, they will understand how to connect lean and waste reduction to supply chain functions.

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

Reduce total cost of ownership and inventory levels

Reduce logistics costs, lead time, and space requirements

Increase fill rates

Improve supplier performance and accountability

Improve customer satisfaction and customer relationships

Reduce overall organizational and operational waste

Apply lean principles and problem solving within your company in order to reduce the total cost of your supply chain

Lean Supply Chain Professional Certificate

This course is the second course in the Lean Supply Chain Professional Certificate, a results-based certificate program designed to focus on problem identification and problem solving at the root cause. During the duration of the certificate program, which includes three courses, participants will complete two take-home lean projects that focus on applying lessons learned during the course. At the start of the next course in the series, participants are required to report their project findings.

Upon completion of the certificate, participants will be able to develop, lead, and implement strategic and tactical elements of lean principles in the supply chain.
