With TheONE, your focus is on the overall Demand Driven Flow Technology (DDFT) design rather than on non-value added activities associated with spreadsheet manipulation. It provides a really great user-friendly step-by-step process to follow when designing your DDFT flow line.
Our instructor, Sandy Goodwin, was extremely knowledgeable, patient, professional and had an excellent disposition. The course material was in-depth and thoroughly discussed.
Our product mix ranges from extreme high mix, low volume to low mix, medium volume. We selected Demand Driven Flow Technology (DDFT) as the foundation for Manufacturing and Supply Chain because of its flexibility in supporting the volatility of our product mix. It provides our teams with a common language for planning and staging material in the supply chain and within the factory. Our customers require agility and speed for delivery of quality products and our stakeholders require cash conservation with our inventory strategies. DDFT is our platform to achieve these requirements.
It was a pleasure to be part of the class and I guarantee the materials I learnt will be part of my daily activities in production.
All knowledge was presented in an extremely attractive and easy to understand way. I’m so glad that I had the chance to participate.
Our consultant was extremely knowledgeable and presented the material in a way that was easy to understand but also challenged you to think through solutions. This of course was extremely beneficial and can be applied to every aspect of the business.
Thank you for providing a high level of quality training. I really enjoyed your presentation and willingness to take the time and answer all the questions that were presented.
A new state of the art headquarters facility warrants a world-class manufacturing and service operation. We weren’t looking for an incremental change, we needed step function level change. High Impact Coaching & Strategies offered extensive hands-on experience and a history of results that met our needs…and they delivered.
TheONE DDMRP is an unbelievable tool for managing my inventory. I have been so used to managing excess inventory driven by our forecast. Now we only order based on actual demand requirements rather than based on the forecast or our gut feelings. I used to spend so much time of my day checking items that I had no requirement for, now TheONE DDMRP tells me exactly what is required, significantly reducing excess inventory as well as freeing up my time.
A lot of the positive developments using Demand Driven Flow Technology in our manufacturing plant would not have been possible without your support!
High Impact’s consulting services provided a great opportunity for us to understand the concepts of Demand Driven Flow Technology and to implement our new Line Design that generated benefits within our Korean production facility. High Impact provided continual feedback, mentoring, and coaching leading to a detailed understanding and operational benefits that would not have been possible through education alone. They provided an excellent service through all phases of our project that continued beyond their contractual obligations ensuring our continued success. They are a trusted company that we will continue to partner with.
The overall experience was amazing. The material shown was very informative and enlightening. The most important thing that I am taking away from this workshop is the tools needed to become demand driven. I would recommend this class to anyone who wishes to improve production and customer service.
