Lean
Distribution is a comprehensive yet concise work
with clear leanings. Kirk’s experience across a
range of industries brings a unique understanding of
common opportunities and solutions available to
optimize distribution processes.
Lean techniques, typically effective in
manufacturing processes, are applied in the downstream
supply chain in a practical and productive manner that
will offer something to any business distributing
tangible goods.
