Lean Six Sigma applied to Supply Chain
Posted by: | CommentsThis 20-page e-book is a transription from an earlier podcast with Jeff Slater of Sonoco. Jeff will be presenting at the WCBF Conference in Orlando this year. An excerpt from the Transcript:
Jeff: “It’s a great concept to talk about because what we’re really trying to say is: How do we achieve that perfect experience for the customer? They order it; they enjoy the ordering process; we manufacture it in a timely manner for them; and we deliver it at the time that they requested it be delivered. So in a sense, you’re trying to achieve this perfect experience – this perfect order.

Posted by: | CommentsWCBF will be approving a limited number of Storyboard/Poster presentations for display at WCBFs 4th Annual Global Lean, Six Sigma and Business Improvement Summit, taking place at the Swan and Dolphin Resort, Walt Disney World, Orlando , October 13-16 2009.
Presenters will need to be available to discuss their storyboards on both days of the summit (October 14 & 15) during the morning and afternoon refreshment breaks.

The authors of all the accepted storyboard presentations will receive a 30% discount to attend the summit off the full Summit price, and a prize will be presented to the winning poster presentation at the event. Please note, discounts cannot be applied retrospectively, if you have already registered. Download the Summit brochure to view the full program.
In order to be considered, please email an abstract of your presentation proposal to me, claire.arpa@wcbf.com. Abstracts should be up to 250 words in length, outlining the project covered. The deadline for submitting abstracts is Friday August 21, 2009. All applicants will be informed if their storyboard has been accepted by Friday September 4, 2009.
Further details regarding the required format of storyboard presentations will be given to successful presenters. A Storyboard will be approximately 4ft wide and 3 ft high, displayed on tabletops alongside the exhibition.
