In the case of perishable items, having lean supply chains is advantageous in the case of supply chain disruptions because you minimize waste. For non-perishable items that are not subject to obsolescence, shortages will result due to having insufficient stock. You have to analyze it for different industries, and compare and contrast them.

I think your are correct Just In Time Methodology means you are not holding inventory which is good from a monetary point of view and also good from a space point of view. However, when supply chains are strained this causes constraints because you are running hand to mouth.

However, in other ways lean has been utilised during this pandemic for the greater good. We combined it with digitalisation methodology to implement Online Lean Training which has been pretty successful we have had over 9,000 completed attempts on our training since 2020. This combined with other engagement and motivation strategies has allowed us to improve a lean engagement and adherence to the Lean Systems and Tools. This is essential during this period i.e. ensuring we have effective problem solving, working in a standardised manner, identifying anomalies and improvements and implementing Kaizens.

If you are interested have a look below at two of the conference papers we recently published and we have another currently under review, hopefully for publication this year.
