Glossary

What is Lean Supply Chain?

A lean supply chain is a strategic approach focused on delivering a product to the end customer with maximum efficiency and minimal waste. It goes beyond cost advantages, emphasizing the elimination of unnecessary elements and steps throughout the supply chain process. The primary goal is a substantial reduction in lead time, from manufacturing to the delivery of the end product, ultimately enhancing supply chain resilience. By eliminating non-value-added activities and streamlining operations, organizations can achieve a more responsive and agile supply chain.
