  Book Information

Written by a master black belt/educator and neatly condensed into a 10 step process, this book teaches business managers how to apply the tenets of lean operations (from the Toyota Production System) and six sigma management principles to supply chain management. The tools, methods and concepts presented in the book provide a concise Lean Six Sigma supply chain reference for champions, managers, black belts, green belts, lean experts as well as supply chain professionals. Jim Martin includes more than 200 tables and figures describing roadmaps, critical success characteristics as well as specific information necessary to fully integrate Lean Six Sigma concepts within your supply chain. It provides, in one place, concise information to major supply chain systems such as master production scheduling (MPS), materials requirements planning (MRPII), inventory systems, forecasting systems and logistics. Practical examples of Lean Six Sigma applications for supply chain management are provided throughout the book including a detailed discussion of strategies to improve asset utilization and reduce inventory investment.
