ABSTRACT
Before we lay out the fundamentals and building blocks of the LEAN SCM Planning framework later in the book, we must consolidate major planning requirements we have identified. In this chapter, we formulate central principles to adopt in the design of the new supply chain planning paradigm. They will guide us in framework development and provide a first impression of the conceptual basis on which we build our system. Those principles provide first thoughts leading to how we recommend facing VUCA challenges in tactical and operational supply chain planning. We consolidate these principles and group them into three areas, offering an opportunity for some early reflection on several critical questions:
• LEAN demand-How to cope with rising demand variability and uncertainty in planning?
