Summary
Lean Supply Chain Management (LSCM) is the management of a set of organizations linked directly by downstream and upstream flows of products, services, information and finances that work together to reduce cost in production and reduce waste incurred during production, by efficiently and effectively coming up with products that meet the needs of customers [1]. Lean supply chain necessitates that supply chains minimize the cost of operation at all production levels. This requires that supply chain uses the least amount of resources to complete the job. A lean design will not engage secondary suppliers—a second tier of supplier is expensive to maintain. All these factors when put into practice will reduce the cost of the supply chain operations making it cost efficient in the long run [2]
