Sažetak
This paper provides evidence on how the use of Lean management approach and one-day Kaizen workshop, together with the use of simple Lean management tools such as Ishikawa diagram and 5xWhy can help to discover root-causes of problems appearing in the supply chain, particularly in this paper focusing on late delivery. Also, this paper shows that problems in the supply chain are sometimes caused by company’s internal procedures and its internal inefficiency. A case study from suspension and joining equipment factory in Croatia was used to support the research. At the end a simple solution for the discussed problem was proposed.
