The Results
Significant sustainable performance improvements through lead time compression, improved productivity and cost reduction
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.
A lot of the positive developments using Demand Driven Flow Technology in our manufacturing plant would not have been possible without your support!
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.
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.
Case Study
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., is a high-tech manufacturer specializing in power conversion solutions utilized in thin-film plasma manufacturing and solar energy generation. This case study reviews the work that was completed in their facility located in Shenzhen China and the improvements that they have achieved.
Customer Expectations vs. Manufacturing Capabilities
Our general experience when we walk into a new company is that there is a huge gap between the expectations of the customer and the capabilities of production.
In the factory, actual work content is probably measured in seconds, minutes or hours, not the multiple days or weeks that products seem to take through manufacturing. With the cumulation of supply and manufacturing delays, the reality of actual customer demand is further distanced from the daily plant performance and execution.
Traditional scheduling techniques are embedded as the planners’ method of choice for many companies. The master schedule, overly reliant on inaccurate forecasts, mirrors the unresponsive nature of the factory. Outdated MRP principles and a factory focused silo-based lean initiatives contribute little to the flexibility and speed and response needed to keep pace with variable and sometimes volatile customer demand. As a result, companies are only able to maintain customer service levels through holding inventory buffers throughout production and in Finished Goods.
Balance – Alignment – Agility – Responsiveness
The goal of any manufacturing company is to have an agile production facility that is adaptive to changes in daily demand and one that is aligned as closely as possible to the market. Your facility needs to become truly Demand Driven and transition itself away from the business processes that force production environments to add significant costs to the business.
Demand Driven Flow Technology manufacturing environments are designed to be balanced to support agility and flexibility. Through design, over-production is eliminated, flow is established reducing lead times and as a consequence, WIP and Finished Goods inventories are reduced improving the organizations Working Capital position. Customer service levels are increased as a direct result of improved planning processes, improved levels of response through manufacture, agility, and adaptability to changes in demand.
Our Demand Driven strategies will enable your manufacturing operations to meet market-driven requirements drastically reducing response times, inventory requirements and waste creating a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our Demand Driven strategies have their foundation in Demand Driven Flow Technology enabling your organization to respond faster and more efficiently to the needs of your customers.
High Impact’s DDFT methodologies enable companies to synchronize every manufacturing process to changing demand on a daily basis. We create mixed model flow with optimized resources within manufacturing supported by dynamically material replenishment strategies to achieve a faster and repeatable response to daily demand. With more repeatable response cycles that are synchronized to the daily demand, we can transform global organizations enabling them to gain control of previously out of balance factories, high levels of inventory, and spiraling operational costs.
Case Study
Industrial Scientific Corporation is the global leader in gas detection products and related services that keep workers safe in hazardous environments. This Demand Driven Flow Technology case study documents the work undertaken during 2014 and 2015 to consolidate the manufacturing and service operations, redesign product flow in addition to fitting the new operations environment into effectively less space within a new facility.
