“Leading
Effective Supply Chain Transformations”
“Why don’t supply chain improvements have staying power beyond the
initial champion?” Far too many projects fail to last and
sustain improved results. Often not
enough emphasis is put on gaining ownership across the business. If executives are not careful, they develop competing
initiatives -- what some call “flavor of the day” or “fads du jour”.
This presentation will cover supply chain
transformations as a proven seven-step process – from the issues that drive the
need for transformation to the sustaining power of on-going processes. Dr. Lee and Michael Katzorke recently
published a book with this same title, and it is already gaining a strong
acceptance. The process is based on many
years of experience in actually leading transformations in multiple
companies. Attendees will gain insight
into how to be more effective in their own companies.
Dr. Lee is co-author of the newly published book, “Leading
Effective Supply Chain Transformations: A Guide to Sustainable
World-Class Capability and Results.” He
consults with companies and conducts educational programs on this subject.
He is Emeritus
Professor and Associate Dean for Executive Education in the Jones Graduate
School of Business at Rice University.
Previously, he was President of Oliver Wight Management Consulting,
Partner-in-Charge of Manufacturing and Distribution Consulting for Deloitte,
and Professor of Systems and Operations Management at the University of Houston.
Dr. Lee has been a
member of APICS for about 35 years. He
has held offices at the national level.
He has spoken many times at various APICS events, including the
International Conference, at which he will speak in October 2010.
