Outline • What is a Supply Strategy? • What is Lean Supply? • What is 5S? • Developing a Supply Strategy Using 5S
What is a Supply Strategy? • Strategy – A plan for achieving organizational goals.
Supply Strategy Constraints • The Supply Strategy should support the Corporate Strategy. • The Supply Strategy should support the Operations Strategy. • The Supply Strategy should give our customers confidence in the quality, reliability, and safety of our products.
Outline • What is a Supply Strategy? • What is Lean Supply? • What is 5S? • Developing a Supply Strategy Using 5S
Lean Supply • Supply in a Lean Production environment • Supply that supports Lean Production • Supply for diet food manufacturing
Lean Production • The latest incarnation of JIT • Based on Toyota Production System. • Waste elimination • Widely used in automotive manufacturing & other repetitive mfg.
Outline • What is a Supply Strategy? • What is Lean Supply? • What is 5S? • Developing a Supply Strategy Using 5S
Five S • Yet another acronym • An organizational method for lean production . • A pillar of the visual workplace. • Housekeeping
Five S • Sort (seiri) • Set in Order (seiton) • Shine or purity (seiso) • Standardize (seiketsu) • Sustain (shitsuke) 5S
Five S • Sort • Set in Order (Sweep) • Shine (Straighten) • Standardize • Sustain RED TAG
Sort Supplier consolidation or rationalization • Reduces waste of working with wrong suppliers • Focuses efforts of selection, evaluation, and improvement on a few suppliers • Reduces transaction waste • Increases opportunity for partnering and leverage
Barriers to Consolidation • Fear of loss of competition • Doubtful savings • Dilbert • Lack of commitment to the selection process • Pets
Five S • Sort • Set in Order • Shine • Standardize • Sustain
Set in Order • A place for everything and everything in its place. • Tool cutouts • Taped outline on floor or bench
Set in Order • A place for everything and everything in its place. • Tool cutouts • Taped outline on floor or bench
Set in OrderSegmentation • Risk value • Spend value • Design value • Time value • Location value
How Can I Be Successful? Evaluation of Current Supply Base • Number of Suppliers • Breakdown by Commodity • Skills / Process Evaluation • Performance Evaluation • Location of Suppliers

Supply Chain StrategiesHau Lee • Efficient Supply Chains – cost-focused • Risk-Hedging Supply Chains – risk-focused • Responsive Supply Chains – demand-focused • Agile Supply Chains – demand-focused but risk-conscious
Five S • Sort • Set in Order • Shine • Standardize • Sustain
Shine • Keep everything clean and swept • System maintenance and inspection • Problems (e.g., oil leaks) are more easily spotted when the workplace is in order
ShineInspection - Surveys • Site surveys • Supplier self-assessment • Remote surveys • 3rd party certification surveys • 3rd party quality awards
SWOT AnalysesCommon Themes • Strengths • Current supplier provides product for process mkt. • Weaknesses • We are a small customer with little leverage • Lack of management depth for small suppliers • Opportunities • Setup reduction • Cost reduction • Threats • Loss of technology leadership
Shine “Sometimes you just have to show up and make something happen.” Danner
Five S • Sort • Set in Order • Shine • Standardize • Sustain
Standardize • Standardize ensures that your progress in 3S implementation is not wasted. • Procedures, schedules, practices
Standardize • Align supply chain partner incentives • Include in personal plans • Make the status visible (e.g., # of suppliers) • Assign audit responsibilities • Ticklers
Standardize: Problems Avoided • Growth of supplier base • Size of supplier base unknown • Segmentation deteriorates – classification unknown • Suppliers not visited regularly • Surveys conducted informally or with renegade processes
Five S • Sort • Set in Order • Shine • Standardize • Sustain
Sustain • Deming’s point number 1: Constancy of purpose • The leadership of supply is responsible for sustaining the process. • MBWA • Prepare contingency plans for crises
Five S • Sort – supplier consolidate • Set in Order - segment • Shine - survey • Standardize – 3S scheduled • Sustain – sustaining leadership Five S is the foundation of lean manufacturing and it can be the foundation of lean supply.
