Problem
|
Production set-up is not fitting to the market needs in short time perspective (product mix, volume, …). Not aligned, disruptive production flow causes higher unitary production costs, longer lead time and worse service.
|
|
Objective
|
Creation of visibility on expected upcoming demand and preparation as well as structuring of production in order to ensure an optimal ration of performance, cost and service.
|
|
Methodology used
|
Demand planning with statistical formulations, framework and structure for production planning (policy), reorganization of the production process, streamlining and eliminating bottlenecks.
|
|
Approach
|
Definition, creation (if required) and implementation of a demand planning tool to provide commercial forecasts, Reviewing and recording the production flow with capacities at each stage, reflecting individual production capacities with needed capacities as per the demand plan.
Definition, creation (if is required) and implementing production planning frameworks and tools, adjusting the production set-up to the current demand plan.
|
| Delivery |
Demand planning tool, Production planning tool, Production flow diagram with volume dependencies, List of proposed levels to adjust capacity in specific demand scenarios. |
