Duha Group
Connecting the Dots Between the Supplier, the Business and the Customer

Description

Hear how Duha has approached its value stream strategies through ‘Dynamic Value Stream Transformation’. In the first phase of "Setting the Expectation", all employees were trained to better understand what it is like to be a supplier and customer within the value stream. In the second phase of “Aligning for Success” this learning was applied to the external supplier value stream, where it was critical for both parties to understand each other’s strengths and limitations. The third phase involved working on the customer value stream in "Building the Bridge for the Future”, where a complete partnership was established between the supplier, the business and the customer.
