Enablers Partner on Integrated Supply Chain and Regulatory Compliance Solutions
Lean Horizons and Windsor Center deliver Lean supply chain management solutions optimized to comply with federal import-export regulations
Hartford, CT — June 4, 2007 — Lean Horizons Consulting has entered into a strategic partnership with Windsor Center to deliver Lean supply chain management solutions optimized to comply with exacting federal import-export regulations.
Glastonbury, Conn.-based Lean Horizons is a provider of enterprise-wide Lean transformation services, including strategy development, supply chain and manufacturing optimization. Colorado-based Windsor Center is a provider of import-export regulatory compliance training and education services.
Under the partnership, Lean Horizons will provide supply chain process design, change management and business transformation services to help organizations synchronize their sourcing, manufacturing and distribution operations.
With the integration of Windsor Center's suite of training, education and compliance disciplines, the combined solution set aims to enable companies implementing Lean business system processes to synchronize complex global supply chain operations within mandatory regulatory guidelines, rapidly identify and isolate compliance breakpoints, develop process and management solutions to compliance issues, and build a culture of compliance to avoid costly fines and penalties.
"In today's very complex world of low-cost country sourcing, Lean Horizons understands the discipline that total delivered cost imposes on supply chain operations," said Jeannine Machon, president of Windsor Center. "So many organizations are rushing into international deals without truly understanding regulatory compliance demands or the damage they can do to themselves in the absence of compliance."
Lean Horizons specializes in transforming business processes through the application of Lean business systems. LHC's capabilities are based upon the Danaher Business System, recognized as one the most successful Lean manufacturing implementations in the world. Lean Horizon said its Lean solutions takes a holistic approach to implementing Lean enterprise-wide to deliver the culture changes required to sustain profitable growth.
"Windsor Center's compliance program provides a powerful safety net to organizations that are expanding beyond domestic borders," said Bob Hawkey, LHC's partner responsible for their Lean supply chain practice. "Supply chain optimization, although critical, can be hopelessly sub-optimized when organizations lack the methodologies and disciplines required to achieve and sustain robust regulatory compliance."
