"Beyond reading about the supply chain approach from a successful company, the best learning advantage would be to supply companies like Toyota and traditional (automotive) companies. This gives an individual leader and teams the advantage of seeing and comparing two methods, traditional versus lean, side by side. This side-by-side comparison lets us see what works and what does not work in the U.S. manufacturing environment. This is exactly the comparison that Jeff Wincel brings to the table in his book, Lean Supply Chain Management."Russ Scaffede, VP, Manufacturing, Tiara Yachts, Holland, Michigan 06/01/04"This book addresses one of my main frustrations with the supply chain business -- it treats supplier management as a technical logistics issue. Jeffrey Wincel, through his extensive experience in doing it right at Donnelly Mirrors, shows us how lean supply chain management is much more than that. It is about relationships. It is a blending of cultures. It is having a lean plant providing seamless, just-in-time delivery of quality parts to another lean plant. Lean supply chain management is a core competency of Toyota and if you are serious about developing this competency I recommend that you read this book."Jeffrey K. Liker, Ph.D., University of Michigan, Editor, Becoming Lean 06/01/04"the book provides a good overview of Wincel's ideas about using lean methods in supply chains."Review
