Lisa Anderson shares strategies to exceed customer expectations at the 2015 Inland Empire Manufacturing Summit.
Supply Chain Trends Shaping Manufacturing Success
Customer expectations are rising, supply chains are becoming more complex, and volatility has become the new normal. In this Manufacturers Corner interview, Lisa Anderson explains how SIOP, collaboration, innovation, and supply chain resiliency help manufacturers improve service, profitability, and long-term success.
Why Implementation is the 80/20 of Success
Think about a project you are in the midst of implementing or thinking about implementing. What can you do to "stack the deck" in the favor of success?
Why Doing It Right the First Time is NOT Always Right
We commonly hear the phrase "Do it right the first time". Of course, generally speaking, who wouldn't want to do that? Waste is bad. However, I've found that there is a time when doing it right the first time is NOT the path to success.
Customer Collaboration on Orders = RESULTS
Customer collaboration has become cornerstone to success in today’s supply chain driven world.
The Value of Relationships
Relationships do not cost a cent; instead, the cost is in time and focus.
Often Overlooked Value of Production Planning
Developing and maintaining a working production plan is no easy feat, but the best planners make the job seem effortless.
Customer Service…the Art of Success
The nice thing about customer service is that it doesn't require money or complex requirements; it's all about attitude.
The Value of Keeping in Touch
The value of keeping in touch is obvious from a personal standpoint; however, it might be less obvious from a business standpoint especially as we are all BUSY, BUSY, BUSY.
Inventory Velocity
By implementing a SIOP process you’ll be in a better position to leverage your resources for a speedier inventory velocity. Inventory velocity not only accelerates cash flow but it also can contribute to margin improvement. How do we turn inventory faster and keep our money in motion vs. stagnating in the back of our warehouse?
