This document outlines a lean logistics operations process map to streamline processes, reduce inventory, and control supply chain networks. The process map details four phases - Plan, Do, Check, Act - to continuously improve customer satisfaction, reliability, supplier performance, and total logistics costs through strategic planning, tactical execution, performance monitoring, and root cause analysis. Key performance indicators are tracked to stabilize and sustain the lean supply chain long-term.
