Lean Order Management
Abstract
Many small and medium sized companies introduce new management initiatives such as lean, outsourcing and Vendor Managed Inventory to reduce stock and manufacturing costs, to shorten lead-time and to improve customer orientation. However, lean ideas have primarily been implemented in the production to reduce setup-time, stock and workin- process whereas the flow and resource consumption in the administration has had little focus. This paper deals mainly with improving the business processes by use of lean order management and Vendor Managed Inventory.
