The art of setting KPIs
The trouble is many companies don't know what to measure. The result: bad management, mixed messages, confusion and employees focusing on the wrong thing. KPIs need to be handled with care. Some companies use many KPIs, others have a handful. But they all need to use the right ones. |

Creating Lean Healthcare
Ten years ago this month I made a visit to the Mayo Clinics large medical complex in Rochester, Minnesota. I was not there as a patient. Instead I was a sort of lean anthropologist. I was making my first foray into a major medical organization to examine its thought process and behaviour from a lean perspective. |

The Problem of Lean Sustainability
I recently got a call from an old friend who led one of the first lean implementation efforts in healthcare in the mid-1990s. He has moved on to other challenges and we hadn't had a chance to catch up in recent years. So I asked him what happened to the lean initiative in the healthcare organization where he had been a senior manager. |

Designing Green Supply Chains
Supply chains are rarely designed from scratch. In fact, they sometimes seem to come about by chance as the organisation evolves. In recent years, two paradigm shifts in thinking are renewing interest in overall supply chain design: 1) Driving supply and distribution centre inventory based on actual customer demand or creating a lean supply chain; and, 2) Initiatives to reduce the organisation's greenhouse gas emissions, referred to as its carbon footprint, or creating a green supply chain. |

Bearingpoint Green Supply Chain 2008 Survey Report
BearingPoint's global survey examines the impact of the environmental agenda on the Supply Chain and looks at what companies are doing, what is driving them to action and what is holding them back. Evidence indicates that when companies take action, they are typically taking the easy route of reputation and brand protection on green messaging. |

Carbon footprints in the Supply Chain
The report highlights the financial and environmental value of reducing carbon emissions across the supply chain through two case studies, completed in snack foods with Walkers and in newspapers with Trinity Mirror. We expect that this report can help companies in all sectors to develop their strategies to combat climate change. It should allow companies to act on the opportunities in their supply chains to reduce emissions and make money at the same time. |
