Discussion
Organizations implementing lean strategy strives for minimum or in extreme cases zero inventory and improving efficiency. Maintaining low levels of inventory reduces costs but also comes with some risks especially during supply chain disruptions. One example is during the Tsunami in Japan, Toyota and Honda suffered severe losses due to Just-In-Time system and minimal stock. So the real picture is that lean strategy reduces costs and waste from supply chain, but also increases supply chain risk at times.
Discuss some of the remedial measures that organizations can make to improve resilience in the supply chain while implementing lean strategy.
