nIn manufacturing logistics, the first priority is providing the right support to make production flow smoothly and put out the goods the company sells. This is effectiveness. The second priority is to provide this support without wasting human, technical or financial resources. This is efficiency. What most companies do in logistics is pursue efficiency at the expense of effectiveness, curtailing service by delivering parts in crates to assembly lines and delaying deliveries by waiting for trucks to be full, and there is plenty of evidence that this approach is counterproductive for the company as a whole.
n
nInstead, manufacturing logisticians should view themselves as the pit crew supporting the production "race car drivers" and dedicate themselves to making sure that they always have the materials they need, in the right quantities, where they need it and presented in an immediate usable fashion. This is where the highest stakes are for a manufacturing company. Once the proper service to production is understood and rendered, the logisticians can start working on improving execution to reduce costs. After presenting the rationale for this strategy, this teleconference will present thorough examples of some tactical tools used to implement it, ranging from methods of activity profiling to milk runs, tugger trains and kanbans.
