Modelling and Performance Analysis of Lean Supply Chain Network

Abstract

Collaboration among partners and synchronization of processes in supply chain network is newlineadopted by large organizations to achieve competitive advantage. However, integration of newlinelean manufacturing principles adopted in supply chain network needs in-depth research as it newlineis used in very few organizations. This research work is an effort towards modelling Lean newlineSupply Chain Network (LSCN) by integrating lean procurement, lean manufacturing and lean newlinedistribution. The research work involves the use of simulation and multi criteria decision newlineapproaches in various stages in LSCN. The data and information are obtained from newlineautomobile companies through primary and secondary sources to validate the simulation and newlineanalytical models used in various stages of LSCN. newline
