The new millennium faces the following challenges:
• unpredictable changes in a turbulent market
• rate of innovation in technology affecting products and processes
• competition demanding frequent product changes
• declining life time of products and technology
• forecast-based projections of demand is no longer viable
• execution against actual demand
In order to face the above challenges, organizations are initiating corporate-wide Lean
Programmes so as to compete in the 21st Century.

Lean Wins the Race
Let us look at this story. Laurel and Hardy are ready for a 100-metre race at the
Community Club.
They are eagerly waiting for the gun shot to start the race. The race is on and Laurel
is well ahead of Hardy to reach the win-post and to grab the trophy.
Hardy is left far behind and struggling to run. Obviously, what is the moral of the
story – Lean Wins the Race. This applies to Organizations as well.
Many organizations are struggling since they have been accumulating fat in the form
of wastes. Only such organizations that can shed their wastes can enhance
competitiveness and remain in business.
At this stage, many questions come to our mind. What are the types of wastes, how
do we identify them, what are the tools available, how do we implement and sustain
Lean culture and what are the success stories?
The following chapters explain the concepts of Lean & Agile Supply Chains so as to
Win the Race in this competitive environment.
Laurel &
Hardy !

Lean Supply Chains
Basically, “Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the network of organizations that
are involved through upstream and downstream linkages, in the different
processes and activities that produce value in the form of products and services
in the hands of the ultimate consumer.”
• The need for innovation, because of competition among companies has compelled
them to seek new ways of business and Supply Chain Management perhaps could be
considered as an effective tool that might be used to gain leverage over competitors.
• The two-fold aim of reducing cost and increasing value for the customer requires a
totally different approach in the way business responds to the demands of the market.
‘ Lean Thinking’ is imperative in today’s market if there is to be an improvement in cycle
times, work-in-process, inventory levels and quality.
• The idea behind ‘Lean Thinking’ is to shorten the time between orders from the
customer to the delivery of the goods by eliminating waste.

19. 19Well Done Wheels India ( TVS ) – Sri Perumbudur Plant !
Dear Mr.AVM,
Thank you very much for your support and guidance through out our EMS design stage, documentation
and implementation part ( ISO 14001:2004 )
Our unique approach in WIL-SPDR was well appreciated by the Beareau Veritas Auditor.
Particularly the Auditor mentioned more about the knowledge level of our Internal Auditors / Core Team Members
and the depth of work in arriving the Aspect Register.
She mentioned some minor observations and No NCRs were raised. We feel very happy at this moment.
Thank you once again for your guidance.
I am confident that our team will surely succeed in the Stage II audit too with the same spirit.
