So, are there 5Ssin VMI?
Many companies are aggressively implementing new concepts and processes both on the shop floor and in other key areas in their operation. These concepts and processes range from:
q ERP Implementation / q Lean Manufacturing
q VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory)
q New Product Introduction / q Customer Relationship Management
A common thread, that is a foundation of all these systems and processes, is a solid 5S program. Dan Marino, Senior Partner of Marino Associates, LLC, will provide the attendees with insight into the steps that must be taken to implement 5S and ensure the success of your VMI program.
The use of VMI has gained acceptance in many industries. What was once thought of as an experiment has now become an accepted solution for dramatic improvements in Supply Chain Management--by replacing “expensive” inventory, with “inexpensive” information. The sharing of schedules, and implementation of such techniques as VMI, should help optimize Supply Chain Performance, but many companies have been disappointed with their results.
A recent Harvard University study on VMI systems found that implementation does not always return better results than a traditional supplier relationship. The study found that information precision and reliability, combined with an effective sharing mechanism, were the key factors in obtaining higher supply chain profits.1
So, how do you implement a successful VMI system? A 5S program can help. While the 5S principles
(1) The Effect of Information Precision and Information Reliability on Manufacturer-Retailer Relationships. Susan Cohen Kulp, Accounting Review, July 2002, Vol. 77, Issue 3, p. 653 / traditionally focus on the physical management of inventory, they can also be applied to the management of the flow of data required for successful VMI.
