| cpim certification books: Lean Supply Chain Management Essentials Bill Kerber, Brian J. Dreckshage, 2011-06-27 Presenting an alternate approach to supply chain management, Lean Supply Chain Management Essentials: A Framework for Materials Managers explains why the traditional materials planning environment, typically embodied by an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, is an ineffective support system for a company that wants to adopt Lean practices. It begins by defining supply chain management basics, including roles, objectives, and responsibilities from a traditional framework. Next, it describes Lean basics and explores the conflicts between Lean and the traditional framework. The book focuses on the materials management aspects of Lean, such as leveling work into the value stream, heijunka scheduling, standard work, and the concept of intervals, including Every Part Every Interval (EPEI). By combining traditional materials management tools, such as Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), with Lean manufacturing approaches and applying them to different manufacturing environments, the authors clarify the logic behind why you are doing what you’re doing with Lean components and how they fit together as a system. Specifically, they explain how to: Determine which leveling strategy to use to smooth production Calculate interval to determine lot sizes in various production environments Apply Lean to purchasing, warehouse, and logistics areas Use your value stream map for green initiatives and risk management Replace capacity planning and shop floor control with visual factory, operator balance charts, EPEI, and plan for every part Illustrating why balancing demand and capacity is better than trying to balance supply and demand, the book includes a definitive chart that matches Lean tools to the planning and control charts that have served as the model for ERP systems. It integrates the principles learned from Toyota’s fifty-plus-year journey with Lean principles to provide the up-to-date understanding required to approach the application of Lean to your supply chain with a methodology that allows for experimentation, learning, and continuous improvement. |

| cpim certification books: Distribution Planning and Control David F. Ross, 2011-06-27 When work began on the first volume ofthis text in 1992, the science of dis tribution management was still very much a backwater of general manage ment and academic thought. While most of the body of knowledge associated with calculating EOQs, fair-shares inventory deployment, productivity curves, and other operations management techniques had long been solidly established, new thinking about distribution management had taken a definite back-seat to the then dominant interest in Lean thinking, quality management, and business process reengineering and their impact on manufacturing and service organizations. For the most part, discussion relating to the distri bution function centered on a fairly recent concept called Logistics Manage ment. But, despite talk of how logistics could be used to integrate internal and external business functions and even be considered a source of com petitive advantage on its own, most of the focus remained on how companies could utilize operations management techniques to optimize the traditional day-to-day shipping and receiving functions in order to achieve cost contain ment and customer fulfillment objectives. In the end, distribution manage ment was, for the most part, still considered a dreary science, concerned with oftransportation rates and cost trade-offs. expediting and the tedious calculus Today, the science of distribution has become perhaps one of the most im portant and exciting disciplines in the management of business. |

| cpim certification books: Operations Management in Healthcare Dr. Corinne Karuppan, PhD, CPIM, Michael Waldrum, MD, MSc, MBA, Dr. Nancy Dunlap, MD, Ph.D., MBA, 2016-05-15 Describes how to build a competitive edge by developing superior operations This comprehensive, practice-oriented textbook shows how healthcare organizations can gain a competitive edge through superior operations. A strategic perspective is taken by achieving excellence in the four competitive priorities: quality, cost, timely delivery, and flexibility. The competitive priorities should not be pursued in isolation. They are indeed interrelated, and we show how initiatives targeted at improving performance in each of the four competitive priorities impact one another and have synergistic effects. Upon completion of the course, students will have developed a conceptual mental model of health care operations in which all concepts and tools fit together. They will recognize the dangers of pursuing local optimization and appreciate the benefits of aligning the entire operations system with the business strategy. The book shows how to run a healthcare organization. We highlight the different perspectives of clinicians and administrators and attempt to resolve their conflicts by offering a common platform for building competitive advantage. To bring the cultural context to life, we engage students with a series of short stories showcasing the struggles of a fictitious health care organization as it embarks on its journey to becoming a highly reliable organization. Our approach is very “hands-on.” Throughout the book, we help students develop a tool kit to assist in problem solving and process improvements. The tools are presented using step-by-step instructions and are fully integrated with the chapter materials. Most of our students have felt they were able to use these decision aids on the job right away. Key Features: • Mind maps to connect competitive priorities, concepts, and tools in a logical, integrated fashion • Development of an extensive tool kit • Emphasis on measurement with the use of dashboards in multiple chapters • The story of a fictitious healthcare organization to demonstrate people dynamics, organizational challenges, and the applicability of tools in every chapter. Questions at the end of each story segment help stimulate class discussion and reflection • Box features with frequently asked student questions and our answers (LET’S TALK!) • Box features with real-world implementations of the concepts (OM IN PRACTICE!) • Data files available for statistical process control, queuing, and simulation • Comprehensive Instructor Packet and online tutorials |

| cpim certification books: Cpim Part 2 Module 1 Certification Exam Examfocus Study Notes & Review Questions 2018/19 Examreview, 2018-03-12 SMR was the final module to take in the past. Now it becomes module 1 of the new part 2 exam. Is it tough? Well, in a sense, yes. It is tough because there is no fixed answer to the test questions. You are asked to choose the best possible answer among all potentially OK answers. Also, most questions are long and with complicated scenarios to confuse you. To pick up the politically correct answers you have to use your business sense to make judgment on a case by case basis. SMR is all about supply-side management at a higher global and strategic level. What is serious supply management all about? Accenture has developed seven principles of supply-chain management: 1. Segment customers based on their service needs. 2. Design the logistics network based on service requirements. 3. Listen to the signals of market demand and plan accordingly. 4. Differentiate products based on actual consumer demand. 5. Strategically manage the sources of supply. 6. Develop a supply-chain-wide technology strategy. 7. Adopt measures that apply to every link in the supply chain. Because of advances in manufacturing and distribution, the cost of developing new products and services is dropping, and time to market is speeding up. This has resulted in increasing customer demands, local and global competition, and increased pressure on the supply chain. To stay competitive, companies must reinvent themselves so that the supply chain-sourcing and procurement, production scheduling, order fulfillment, inventory management, and customer care-is no longer a cost-based back-office exercise, but rather a flexible operation designed to effectively address today's challenges. If you have been specializing in manufacturing or shop floor functions, it is now the time to move yourself to a managerial position - you need to see things from a broader MBA style perspective. |
