To the end of the world
WEB SERIES - In the last episode of our It's a Lean World series, we travel to the tip of South America to visit the southernmost Distribution Center in the world and learn about its lean work.

Sanchez y Sanchez, in Punta Arenas, Chile, is a retailer that runs the southernmost Distribution Center on the planet. What are the challenges inherent to operating in such a remote part of the globe? And does Lean Thinking help the organization cope with them? Watch the last episode of Season 2 of our It's a Lean World web series to find out!
