The RIGHT Supplier Reduced inventory Increased Velocity VMI Success Reduced TSCC Shorter Lead Time Reduced Out of Stock
The RIGHT Process Continuous Improvement to eliminate waste Waste Any Activity that doesn t add value to the good or service in the eye of the patient Special management tools to eliminate waste: Just-in-Time (JIT) Lean management
The RIGHT Process Just-in-Time (JIT) The primary elements include having only the required inventory when needed; to improve quality to zero defects, to reduce lead times and rework
The RIGHT Process JIT principles JIT Benefits Eliminate waste Eliminate variability Pull instead of Push strategy (Kan Ban) Cycle time reduction Inventory reduction Labor Cost reduction
The RIGHT Process Kanban System It is a pull system. It means display card in Japanese - It is a replenishment system that synchronizes the customer s requirement through the plant and to the suppliers - Order preparation should start only when a Kanban card has been issued - The movement of Kanban cards depends on the number of containers for each component and the timing of when to deliver the card to the upstream facility
The RIGHT Process Lean Supply Chain thinking Lean principles Eliminate activities that don t add value Employ multiskilled employees in teams Develop Lean suppliers Lean Techniques Value Stream mapping Map 1: All Steps Map 2: Value-added steps only Kaizen event (blitz) Rapid improvement of limited process area Beginnings of TQM initiatives
Limitation Beware of conflicting between waste elimination and low quality services Beware of conflicting between JIT techniques and very low inventory levels especially for critical medical supplies, the result can be fatal
Conclusion Choosing and collaborating with the right supplier can make the difference Controlling purchasing processes and eliminating waste can reduce low quality services The Supply Chain can be easily management once the chain master gain visibility over the entire process
