1. Preface
This is a Plan of Approach on research into IDEXX’s transportation zone project and
gain insight into the problem related to various company’s processes. This Plan of
Approach was written as a result of an internship for the minor Supply Chain
Management of Saxion University of Applied Sciences. The aim of the project is to give
IDEXX a clear picture of its issue and some suitable alternatives to resolve it based on
the Lean Six Sigma knowledge teaching at school and real working experience in the
company.
First of all, I would like to thank Martijn Vos and Debbie Simpson for the instructive
assignment and the pleasant cooperation. I would also like to thank my tutors Gerhard
Buning and Dirk Jan Wegman for the guidance and support during the time of the
project.
I hope you enjoy the reading!
