Michael Sinnochi posted a great summary of a conversation he had with Derek Singleton, an ERP consultant who writes for the website Software Advice. Michael’s post highlights the tension between Lean and MRP-driven materials planning and the proper role that manufacturing software should play in an effective lean transformation. Highlights:
1. Make Value Stream Mapping a Core Software Component
2. Monitor Cycle Times Intensely
3. Locate Key Places to Add or Remove Inventory
We don’t think we could have said it better ourselves. Indeed, these are the rules that we strive to live by. Read the post and tell us what you think.
