Lean RFS (Repetitive Flexible Supply) Summary

Lean RFS (Repetitive Flexible Supply): Putting the Pieces Together by Ian Fraser Glenday

Is it possible to be repetitive and flexibleat the same time? Using proven examples and quantifiable evidence, Lean RFS (Repetitive Flexible Supply): Putting the Pieces Together demonstrates that repetitive flexible supply (RfS) is not only possible, but that its implementation can help you reach a new level of improved performance in manufacturing and across your entire supply chain.

Winner of a 2013 Shingo Research and Professional Publication Award, this book is unique in that it clearly spells out the theory and practice originally published in the Shingo Prize winner, Breaking Through to Flow, with actual stories of Kimberly-Clarks experience in using them over the years with great success. These stories provide a real feel of how this learning-by-doing journey led to "aha!" moments for those involved.

The book also explains why most planning systems in use today will result in a different plan every time, and that these plan changes are actually the cause of the fire fighting that is endemic in most companies.

Lean RFS (Repetitive Flexible Supply) Reviews

I saw the positive impact that RFS has on people and performance at two previous companies Wrigley and Bacardi. I have high expectations that well see huge improvements through RFS here, once again. John Broadbridge, VP of Production, The Carlsberg Group

RFS brought smaller production runs, increased performance, lower stocks and stability that is so important for building a continuous improvement culture. It is being adopted by many affiliates across Philip Morris International with great success.Krzysztof Stolarek, Manager Production, Philip Morris, Polska S.A.

This book is the missing link in many Lean journeys.Daniel T. Jones, Chairman, Lean Enterprise Academy UK

RFS is an important part of a Lean Six Sigma journey and has brought stability for sustainable continuous improvement. RfS and its principles are being used in multiple parts of the supply chain to improve flow and business results.
Kevin Smith, Director, Business Process Transformation, Kraft Foods Group

What is remarkable is that so few companies or people have arrived at this understanding of heijunka. I have stumbled across no-one, until you, who has discovered this on their own. I think, as you suggest, more people should be able to understand these concepts.John Shook CEO, Lean Enterprise Institute USA

The importance of creating schedule stability through green stream RfS logic cannot be overstated it drives customer service and Supply Chain inventory and cost improvements all at the same time.Steve Ackroyd, Lean Manager & Six Sigma Coach, 3M

About Ian Fraser Glenday

Ian Glenday started his Lean journey as a microbiologist running a plant producing enzymes from deep-culture fermentation of bacteria. It was here that Ian first began developing RfS concepts and principles for application in process industries.

After taking time out to gain an MBA from Bradford Business School in the UK, Ian joined the manufacturer Reckitt & Colman, where he led an MRPII project To Class A status in the companys pharmaceutical division. This experience offered Ian a valuable lesson in understanding why applying batch logic in MRP can cause problems.

Ian then moved to Reckitt & Colmans household and toiletries division, where he initiated and helped implement a pan-European supply chain strategy based on the Lean concept of every product every cycle, before joining Colmans of Norwich as head of policy deployment, responsible for applying Lean/RfS thinking across the entire company.

Ian currently divides his time between working with Professor Dan Jones at the Lean Enterprise Academy, UK, where he is a senior fellow, and helping businesses around the world make their own Lean transformations through his company Repetitive flexible Supply Ltd.

Rick Sather is vice president, customer supply chain, for Kimberly-Clark Corporations North America Consumer Products Division. In this role, he is responsible for service and efficient product flow from the end of manufacturing through the customers retail shelf.

Ricks Lean journey began in 2005 when he first connected with Ian and began implementing Lean/RfS at Kimberly-Clark.
