Abstract
This is a PowerPoint overview of LAI ‘s main supplier networks transformation toolset (Version 1.0) developed by LAI’s Supplier Networks Working Group. The toolset was finalized and issued in 2004, after an extensive alpha and beta testing process. It expands the earlier (1995) supplier networks framework. The toolset was “pulled” by a growing need expressed by the LAI consortium members for an integrated framework addressing the following types of questions: (a) what are the lean supply chain management concepts and practices; (b) how do we develop lean supplier networks; (c) how do we assess where we are in evolving lean supply chain management capabilities?  The toolset contains two major, integrated, components: Roadmap for Building Lean Supplier Networks (The Roadmap Tool), and Supplier Management Self-Assessment Tool. The Self-Assessment Tool has two versions: Version A is for the use of large system-integration enterprises as well as major suppliers. Version B, a condensed version of the main self-assessment tool, is developed for the use of smaller supplier organizations. An attachment to this PowerPoint overview document presents a listing of the pertinent LAI sponsored master’s and doctoral theses concentrating on various aspects of supply chain management, as well as pertinent LAI papers and publications, providing research support for the two components.
