Paper Inventory Management: A Lean Approach
After years of inefficient visual monitoring of paper supplies, this in-plant developed a Lean approach to inventory management.
Applying Lean Practices
In February of 2010 we held an open house to showcase our new facilities. Having completed a course in Lean Six Sigma a couple of years back and being keenly interested in Lean approaches, I decided to apply what I learned to organize the paper shelves and make it one of the attractions of the tour.
