Order Lead Time Reduction via Procurement & Supply
Systems |
|
| Issue |
Resolution
|
| 16
week customer order lead time. |
- Led transition from ‘push’ manufacturing operation
to cellular ‘pull’ system, establishing:
- Partnership supply agreements
- Demand forecasting & KANBAN deliveries to point of
use locations (releasing 12,000sq ft of warehouse space
for production activity)
- Design & implementation of ‘back-flushing’
transactional system
- Factored ‘c’ class item purchasing
- Proactive Vendor Management
- This reduced customer order lead time to ten days, reduced
transaction time by 75% reduced cost by £22K pa, and
reduced operational costs by £40K pa. Stock availability
improved to average of 95% and stock turns to over 27.
|
| Poor
on time delivery in separate division. |
- Re-engineered procurement & Supply Chain operation,
selection and implementation of MRP system, supplier base
rationalised from 150 to 60, and reorganisation of storage.
- Resulted in on-time delivery improved to 95% on-time
and 98% within 2 days of due date.
