I want to share recent Demand Driven Flow Technology (DDFT) benefits achieved from a complex lean manufacturing implementation within the electronics industry. The benefits outlined below from this Demand Driven Flow Technology implementation has delivered significant ROI for one of our global clients. The overall duration of this lean manufacturing project was 4 months and was supported by High Impact Coaching & Strategies with a total of 6 weeks onsite Demand Driven Flow Technology training and consulting services.
The objective of the project was to reduce lead time through the facility. Our strategy was to implement Demand Driven Flow Technology to establish synchronized and balanced flow. We followed an implementation framework while coaching our client’s team on how to use all of our implementation tools. The benefits achieved by our client from this Demand Driven Flow Technology implementation were:
- 70% lead time reduction
- 76% WIP reduction
- 16% capacity improvement
- 20% headcount reduction redeployed to other lines
- 41% productivity improvement
- 23% reduction in Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) generated from productivity improvement
Savings in COGS alone contributed to a 16:1 Return On Investment and a payback of less than one month. Also, our client cleared their order backlog in the space of three months post-implementation, a feat never experienced before.
To support its Demand Driven Flow Technology implementation and its future sustainability, the company also chose to deploy TheONE Demand Driven Manufacturing Flow design software. This software is already enabling them to plan for the future and to react to changes in demand volumes and mix without impact to their customer base.
