Summary:

In today's global economy, supply chains have become increasingly complex and interconnected. Now more than ever companies need to be able to quickly adapt their supply chains to changing market conditions. In other words, supply chains need to be lean. The lean philosophy is based on maximizing value for customers by eliminating waste. Lean supply chains respond to disruptions while reducing lead times, lowering costs, and improving customer satisfaction. In this section you'll learn how to build lean supply chains by implementing best practices at a bike manufacturer. EaziBikes is an example of lean philosophy in action. EaziBikes manufactures bicycles in China and exports them to the United States. The company offers a wide range of bicycles for adults, young adults, and children. Most of the bicycle parts suppliers for EaziBikes are located in China-except for tires, which are imported from Malaysia. A single wholesaler in Chicago imports the bikes and sells them to retail outlets across the United States.
