Innovation Insights Learning Session at
Metro Label Company
Lean Inventory Management Through Pull Systems
The
Learning Session at Metro Label Company,
participants will obtain the ‘big picture’
interactively from a generic example based on
one company’s approach to applying "Lean
Thinking" to the management of their inventory
through their implementation of a practical
"Pull System" that reduced waste throughout
their operation.
Participants will
understand why this company had to adopt a new
way of thinking and how the employees were
involved in the transformation. The practical
and common-sense approach taken clarifies what
pull systems are - and, what they are not.
• Know what a
Pull System is and what it is not.
• Know the differences between a ‘Push’ and
‘Pull’ system and be able to describe them.
• Know and describe the effect of a Pull System
on inventory, customer service, lead times and
quality.
• Discuss where a Pull System could be used
(both shop and office) and compare them with
applications not well served by a Pull System. •
How to approach the implementation of a Pull
System and the typical steps to follow.
• Describe how people are best involved to
achieve a successful pull system implementation.
