Estimad@s Clientes y/o amantes del LEAN:
Hay una cosa que tengo muy clara: si TOYOTA , la creadora del
LEAN, está interesada en algo, a mí me interesa
Para asegurar la trazabilidad de todo lo que monta, desde el
origen hasta los fallos de sus vehículos en carretera, TOYOTA está aplicando la
tecnología de IBM, llamada BLOCKCHAIN
BLOCKCHAIN tiene una particularidad que la hace imbatible:
es imposible ..o casi, engañar al Cliente final en todos los eslabones de la Supply Chain por los que pasa cada
producto
En los párrafos siguientes haré una pequeña introducción de
BLOCHCHAIN, para luego sacar unas conclusiones evidentes
The problem with the supply chain
Currently, supply chains can span
over hundreds of stages and dozens of geographical locations, which makes it
very hard to trace events or investigate incidents.
Customers
and buyers have no reliable way to verify and validate the true value of the
products and services they purchase because of the endemic lack of transparency
across supply chains, which effectively means the prices we pay are
an inaccurate reflection of the true costs of production.
Other
elements that are affected or tied to supply chains are even harder
to track. For instance, there’s currently no way to track the environmental
damage that goes into the production of goods.
Also,
investigation and accountability of illicit activities associated
with supply chains is extremely difficult. This accounts for issues
such as counterfeiting, forced labor and poor conditions in factories, or
revenues being used to fund war crimes and criminal groups, as is the case with coltan, the substance used to create
capacitors for mobile phones and other consumer electronics.
How blockchain enhances
the supply chain
As a
distributed ledger that ensures both transparency and security,
the blockchain is showing promise to fix the current problems of
the supply chain. A simple application of
the blockchain paradigm to the supply chain would be
to register the transfer of goods on the ledger as transactions that would
identify the parties involved, as well as the price, date, location, quality
and state of the product and any other information that would be relevant to
managing the supply chain.
The public
availability of the ledger would make it possible to trace back every product
to the very origin of the raw material used. The decentralized structure of the
ledger would make it impossible for any one party to hold ownership of the
ledger and manipulate the data to their own advantage. And the
cryptography-based and immutable nature of the transactions would make it
nearly impossible to compromise the ledger. Some experts already believe that
the blockchain is unhackable.
IBM
Pushes Blockchain into the Supply Chain
IBM’s new
service will help companies test online ledger technology to track high-value
goods as they move through supply chains

International Business Machines Corp. IBM -0.40% said Thursday it has launched a
platform for companies to test “blockchain” record-keeping technology in their
supply chains.
The service
is an attempt to expand the use of blockchain beyond the financial services
industry, where the technology underpins the bitcoin digital currency and is
used by banks and exchanges to track financial transactions. While firms such
as Nasdaq Inc.,NDAQ 0.03% Depository Trust & Clearing
Corp., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. are experimenting with blockchain, only a handful of companies,
including Toyota Motor Corp. , have explored using it to
monitor their supply chains.
Conclusiones
Una Supply Chain del siglo XXI, o tiene trazabilidad fiable al 100% o simplemente, no será aceptada por el Mercado
Una Supply Chain del siglo XXI, o tiene trazabilidad fiable al 100% o simplemente, no será aceptada por el Mercado
Estar seguro de que “no te engañan” en lo que los
proveedores dicen que hacen, y cómo lo hacen, cuando manipulan tu producto, lo
fabrican, lo testean, lo mandan de un sitio a otro ( dentro de su propia
subcontratación ) es clave
Que, encima, todo eso sea transparente, no solo para las
fábricas propias sino también para los Clientes finales, es un paso que no
dudaría en calificar de estratégico para asegurar la confianza del Cliente y,
por tanto, para aumentar la facturación
Las diapositivas que siguen tratan de darle pedagogía a este
tema tan crucial
¿Qué aporta el LEAN?
-Fiabilidad al 100%
-Hacer las cosas bien a la primera
-Eliminar operaciones de No Valor
-Supply Chain con tiempos de respuesta extremadamente cortos
-Cuellos de botella rotos para asegurar las estrategias
precedentes
-Máxima flexibilidad ante cambios de diseño, o lo que es lo
mismo, mínimos Time to Market
Que disfrutéis cada hora del fin de semana
Un cordial saludo
