Vendor Engagement Kaizen Framework Incorporating Risk And Reward Sharing In Lean Manufacturing Practice

Lean manufacturing seeks Kaizen in terms of quality, cost and cycle time. A robust problem-solving often extends to external parties such as vendors, to draw in their unique technology resources and knowledge. The perusal of contemporary peer-reviewed literature reveals limited academic investigatio...

description Lean manufacturing seeks Kaizen in terms of quality, cost and cycle time. A robust problem-solving often extends to external parties such as vendors, to draw in their unique technology resources and knowledge.
