Understanding the Lean Foundation for Rapid Order-to-Cash Cycles

In an effort to build make-to-order value chains, many companies implement Lean hoping to reach the pot of gold. But after Lean is implemented, many executive teams are frustrated and puzzled by the fact that on-time delivery, overall working capital, order-to-cash cycles, EBIT performance, and other key metrics may stay stagnant or only experience marginal improvements.

This on-demand Webcast discusses two of the reasons for this "Lean disappointment syndrome":

• The IT system, as implemented, does not support the new environment
• The "implementation silo challenge", where these great improvements are trapped inside operations and have yet to be leveraged across the value chain or order-to-cash cycle

By watching this event featuring expert Tony Gorski, you will learn:

• The base foundation of Lean
• The need for IT solutions post-conversion
• Why many Lean improvements remain "trapped" within the enterprise
• How to tie Lean improvements to the order-to-cash cycle, by breaking down the overall fulfillment cycle into manageable segments
