Book Preview: Managing Lean Manufacturing Using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009
|
Today we offer you a sneak peak at a book that examines the software functionality required to support lean manufacturing scenarios, with a focus on the latest release of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009. Click here for the chapter that reviews the applicability of lean manufacturing approaches and the associated maturity stages, and introduces the new constructs concerning kanbans and work cells.
Today's feature article looks at the major trends in supply chain management (SCM), including the continued movement away from vertical towards horizontal supply chains, and the emergence of the virtual corporation, where the firm's capabilities and systems are merged with those of its suppliers.
If you're a manufacturer, would you like to be able to make twice as many products with twice as much quality, at half the cost, with half the labor and space, and with a fraction of the normal work-in-process inventory? It's possible through lean manufacturing, as you'll discover in today's feature white paper. |
