Reconstruction for energy efficiency, incentive mechanism strategic logistics, a way to evolve towards a lean organization

This paper attempts to show how lean thinking and strategic logistics concepts applied to organization´s design and structure can result on an effective and efficient approach. Considering strategic logistics functions we developed and been testing a strategic logistics organization model in accordance with lean thinking principles. This simplified organization structure with only two branches or dimensions - logistics and mission - eases the outsourcing of non-nuclear activities and establishes a proper framework to increase the focus on organization´s core business. With this approach considerable advantages are expected to be achieved, such as fewer activities, less processes less people and less costs. In addition, higher service level, effectiveness, efficiency, more flexible organization, and a better image are expected. The work related to this paper is an attempt to implement lean principles in a superior level of organizations: the organization design level.
