Lean Pull Design Webinar

Presentation Presenter(s)
Tom Knight, Founder & CEO, Invistics

Presentation Learning Objectives
Come hear how three major companies, DuPont, Bristol-Myers Squibb and CP Kelco, slashed their working capital 35% to 80% by implementing pull methods better suited than Kanban for their high-mix, high-variability businesses. In addition to discussing traditional Kanban, our presentation addresses several of the most common Kanban alternatives: generic Kanban, Drum Buffer Rope (DBR) and Constant Work in Progress (CONWIP). The presentation will discuss how these different pull methods were implemented with real-world examples, and help attendees understand which of these alternatives are best for their companies.
