🌍 𝐈𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭? 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🚀 The best organisations don’t just respond to disruptions—they anticipate them. Supply chain scenario planning has become the cornerstone of operational resilience, enabling businesses to tackle uncertainty with confidence. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏: 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞 🌐 Relying on a single supplier or region is a recipe for disaster. By building relationships with multiple suppliers across different geographies, you reduce the risk of disruptions caused by localised issues, like natural disasters or political instability. 🛡️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭: Greater agility in the face of unexpected challenges, ensuring continuity even when one supplier falls short. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟐: 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 📊 Use advanced analytics to simulate “what-if” scenarios—whether it’s a sudden demand spike or a raw material shortage. Predictive tools allow you to test supply chain vulnerabilities before they become crises. 💡 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭: Optimised inventory levels, reduced lead times, and fewer costly surprises, all while staying ahead of your competition. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟑: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 🌎 Moving production or sourcing closer to key markets can cut down on transit times and mitigate risks tied to global logistics bottlenecks. 🚀 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭: Faster delivery cycles, reduced shipping costs, and a smaller environmental footprint—a win for operations and sustainability goals. 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟒: 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐬 🔄 Instead of static plans that only account for specific disruptions, adopt dynamic contingency strategies that can adapt to real-time conditions. ⚡ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭: Faster recovery times and reduced downtime, keeping customer trust intact even during turbulence. 📣 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧?

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐧—𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 Supply chain leaders often mistake process improvement for continuous improvement (CI). The difference? Process improvement tends to be a one-off activity that targets short-term gains, while CI embeds a culture of ongoing enhancement, delivering increasing benefits Here’s how to implement CI strategies that deliver sustainable results: 1️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 “𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡” Establish a compelling organisational vision that aligns CI goals with strategic business outcomes and customer requirements. Without this, improvements lack direction and urgency. 2️⃣ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐕𝐒𝐌) Use VSM to identify inefficiencies and waste across the supply chain. This creates a baseline for improvements and focuses resources where they’re needed most. 3️⃣ 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐱 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 Combine Lean’s focus on eliminating waste with Pareto Analysis and Six Sigma’s data-driven approach to reduce variability and misses, ensuring consistent, on time delivery. 4️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 Engage frontline workers by observing workflows firsthand. Their insights often uncover inefficiencies that top-down processes miss. 5️⃣ 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Encourage teams to identify and implement small, incremental changes regularly. This fosters a culture of collaboration and ensures gains are sustainable. 6️⃣ 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 From leadership to frontline staff, CI succeeds when everyone contributes. Empower employees to own their roles in driving improvement. 7️⃣ 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐊𝐏𝐈𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 (𝐎𝐓𝐃) 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐈𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 (𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐅) Define and monitor KPIs to measure CI success. Metrics like On Time Delivery (OTD) and On Time In Full (OTIF) highlight performance and pinpoint improvement opportunities. 🚀 Continuous improvement is the cornerstone of resilient supply chains—not a fleeting initiative, but a cultural shift that builds adaptability and efficiency. 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐂𝐈 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬?

Here's another insightful post from Iter Digital. No doubt they are speaking to the converted, but it never ceases to amaze how much time and effort gets spent realigning/redeveloping KPIs when transitioning to the digital world which often reveals that existing metrics don't add up! KPIs are critical to the Daily Management Process and its ability to move the dial from "5 to 500" driving improvement means they must not be ignored. “Don’t be fooled by some of the digital transformation buzz out there, digital transformation is a business discipline or company philosophy, not a project.” — Katherine Kostereva is the CEO and managing partner of BPM online

Thought this blog from Iter Digital that discusses the pros and cons of building or buying your own Digital Lean Tools worth reposting.
