Infor Global Solutions will host a Webinar to address the increasing use of lean to improve the delivery of automotive components. Currently, the global automotive industry spends $3.8 trillion on logistics to move parts and supplies from source to final product. Vast amounts of materials are in transit at any given time. Critical to maintaining appropriate inventory levels, accelerating order-to-delivery and supporting ongoing cost-reduction initiatives is visibility into the global supply chain to manage inventory and shipments.

The Webinar, “Do You Know Where Your Parts Are?: Lean Logistics for the Automotive Industry,” will focus on how suppliers and OEMs can leverage lean initiatives to manage costs, responsiveness and customer service to improve their processes while managing intricate global supply chains.

Thomas Klein, executive director of global logistics and materials management for Tenneco Automotive, will present his company’s approach to lean logistics and discuss how Tenneco is using the technology to create competitive advantages. The Webinar will be held April 20 at 10 a.m.
