Editor's Notes

  • #3 Good evening and welcome to Nashville. As all of the speakers will likely mention in one form or another, every aspect of our industry has a global orientation. Supply chains can reach 15,000 km, 150 km or just 15 meters.
  • #4 Another way of looking at it is, do we want to source our parts from India, Indianapolis or inside the plant. Which is right for the situation? It depends… Contrary to popular belief, global sourcing isn’t just about cost. If we can’t create a win-win situation with a suppliers -- wherever they’re located – it’s not a good deal for us. The new enemy of success is complacency – it’s stagnating our thought process and thinking we’ve made all the improvements we can make.
  • #8 Our positive opinion of the many advantages of global sourcing was tempered with a realization that our average distances were thirteen times what they had been with a local sourcing strategy.
  • #9 Of course, the whole game changes as you go from local supply chains to global and LCC sourcing. The difference is obvious when you have lead times go from less than a week to three months.
  • #12 And some of these supply lines are picturesque, but very different…
  • #13 …and sometimes crowded….
  • #14 VERY crowded!
  • #18 I’m going to show kind of a slow-motion diagram of what our supply chain looked like not too long ago. Behind this inefficient process map were silos – business units that didn’t have common goals or a culture of communication. Not too long ago we actually had separate trucks delivering the same part from the same supplier to two buildings about 100 yards apart in Smyrna. On different days! It was more than communication… the problem was we had a system – shown here, that had a silo mentality and not an organizational efficiency point of view. We were getting the work done, but we weren’t working as a team in the big picture.
  • #19 Not long ago, each of these separate organizations within Nissan was producing very good work. But because they had no common culture for communication and because each reported up to a different executive there was little synergy taking place. A basketball analogy I like to use for this is Ohio State’s team. They had the best scorer, the best rebounder, best assist man – and they were very successful… but they eventually couldn’t stack up against an excellent, cohesive TEAM.

  • #21 The concept of Monokuzuri is optimizing your value chain by setting team goals and creating a culture of synergy and communication that systematically squeezes waste out of the sytem. From silos we’ve evolved to a functional focus – and we’re moving toward real-time functional optimization of the value chain. Cost savings, quality gains and better efficiency are going to continuously occur as a result of a total system focus of monokuzuri.
  • #27 Perhaps the easiest way to illustrate our objectives is to show you how we determine success. As I mentioned earlier, we take a more holistic view of the network and strive to make our suppliers partners in managing the network. Talk to the slides
