Description
In a lean world, customers require 100 percent on-time delivery. This is so fundamental to success that they are demanding supplier lead-time guarantees, with financial penalties imposed for late or incomplete shipments. But guaranteeing lead times is as much about the customer as it is the supplier. It requires customer-supplier collaboration in establishing three critical parameters.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
-
- Evaluate company readiness to establish a guaranteed leadtime agreement
- Outline a step-by-step implementation process
- Establish metrics to monitor the processes that contribute to guaranteed leadtimes.
