Driving Business Performance With New Metrics and Incentives : Why do competing businesses with similar products, serving the same marketplace with the same caliber of resources, have different results? Why do some companies post dramatic results, while competitors in the same industry, serving the same customers post poor results? Leadership is often presented as a simple one-word reason for this difference in performance. Upon deeper examination, one will discover that it is not just the caliber of leadership but is often the caliber of the performance metrics which the leaders are charged to achieve. These metrics serve as guides to shape the leadersa ™ and subordinatesa ™ behavior in ways that more...

2nd Saturday 'Practical Capital' Monthly Workshop Series
FIVE Techniques to Reduce Production Mechanical Setups by MORE THAN 20 Percent in LESS THAN 100 Days : Production throughput can be dramatically impacted by mechanical machine set-up activities. Reducing lost machine time resulting from excessively long set-ups can improve efficiency, lower factory production costs and increase effective capacity. Unless a set-up reduction initiative has recently been completed, it is reasonable to expect a fresh look at set-ups to yield a 20% or better reduction in set-ups. Industrial engineers make livings out of finding ways to reduce manufacturing throughput time. They normally look to work methods and equipment capabilities to achieve their reduction goals. But set-up times also play an important role in reducing total more...

SEVEN Innovative Techniques to Streamline the Process of Procuring Routine Raw Materials : Much has changed in the world of purchasing over the last two decades. Globalization of supply chains, economic pressures to reduce prices and the need to manage procurement risks have all changed the responsibilities in the Procurement organization. Add to this an ever increasing work load driven by shorter product life cycles and more frequent new product introductions, and one can quickly understand why purchasing needs to find new methods for executing the routine activities of the purchasing process. Inventing time to focus on more important supply chain issues has become as important as reducing direct material costs.
TEN Techniques to Reduce Transportation Expenses by MORE THAN 5 Percent in LESS THAN 100 Days : The sum of inbound and outbound transportation costs average between 4% and 9% of revenue for most manufacturing and distribution companies.

THREE Techniques to Reduce Days-Sales-Outstanding DSO by MORE THAN 15 in LESS THAN 100 Days : Days-Sales-Outstanding (DSO) defines the number of days a company takes to collect revenue after a sale is made. A low DSO indicates the company collects its money fast. But a low DSO can also indicate other important conditions. For example, when a companya ™s DSO is significantly less than peer companies, it usually suggests the company has a different front-end business model than competitors. Upon further examination, it is the low DSO that can point to a probable competitive advantage in the supplier/ customer relationship. Likewise a high DSO can point to more than just poor receivable collections. Customers more...

THREE Techniques to Reduce Raw Material and Finished Goods Safety Stocks by MORE THAN 25 Percent in LESS THAN 100 Days : Raw material and finished goods inventories may be the largest and most volatile asset in your company. Investment in these inventory accounts is mainly driven by 3 considerations: Process lead-time Demand predictability Supply reliability The last two factors, predictability of demand and supply reliability present special problems when trying to determine how much inventory is needed to support the business enterprise. This leads to a need to maintain some additional inventories, just-in-case demand or supply does not occur as planned. And yet, the amount of safety stock a company maintains can dramatically impact the valuation of the business. more...

5th Friday - Lean Tools Workshops
How to Blend the Best of KanBan and MRP : Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and KanBan-type inventory planning systems are not mutually exclusive in their abilities to provide planning and control direction within a supply chain. And while much has been written about the incompatibilities of these two systematic approaches to managing inventory, this presentation will address how these two seemingly opposite approaches to inventory management and production scheduling can be blended for greater performance.
Implementing Standardized Work The Foundation of LEAN Manufacturing Design : In a lean production environment "Standardized Work" is the foundation on which improvement, performance and cost reduction is based. Without a working understanding of standardized work and the ability to implement it, the rest of your efforts to implement lean manufacturing systems will not result in any measurable improvement. Developing your own knowledge and skills in the area of standardized work is critical if you want to be a leader in your organization's lean transformation effort. This 1-day MEI LEAN Tools workshop will focus on tangible more...
Using the Process Reengineering Matrix To Determine Which Improvement Initiatives You Should Invest : Imagine you just completed a value-stream mapping exercise of several processes in your factory. Also imagine that as part of your LEAN manufacturing initiate, you completed seven Kaizen events, each identifying one or more significant cost reduction and cycle time improvement opportunities.

Supply/Demand Management School
Combining the Best of Finite Infinite Capacity Planning Systems : Finite scheduling occurs when you plan material requirements and production activities in a manner that integrally takes into account the capacity and workloads already running (and scheduled to run), in the factory. Finite scheduling calculates the start and finish dates for all operations in all open and planned work orders. It is a detailed scheduling strategy with which you schedule orders and operations, taking into account the existing resource load. In finite scheduling, capacities are considered to be limited (finite) and resource overloads cannot occur because you never over-schedule a work centera ™s capacity. Infinite scheduling occurs when more...
Constructing and Maintaining the Market Requirements Definition - The Critical Missing Link in Sales Forecasting : Forecasting requires data from the past (historical sales data), data from the present (direct communications with sales staff and customers) and data the future (the Market Requirements Definition, or MRD). The MRD is a document that expresses all that needs to be known about products, markets and customers; looking into the future. The MRD is the Chief Forecastera ™s view into what will likely occur in the future, given the companya ™s resource focused on products and markets.
Integrating Facilities Equipment Maintenance Activties Into the Master Production Schedule : Master Production Scheduling (MPS) drives all of the factory production plans. It is the integral component of the Sales & Operations (S&O) planning process that connects S&O with factory execution.

The Chief Forecasters Job 3 Critical Forecast Inputs to DRAMATICALLY Improve Forecast Accuracy : It has been said that all sales forecasts exist somewhere between "lucky" and "lousy." And yet it is these same forecasts that ultimately determine, and broadcast, the demand rate our factories and distribution centers are responsible for supporting. If customer satisfaction is ever to improve, and be sustained, at THE SAME TIME inventory decreases, a new approach to balancing supplies with demands must be developed. There are three critical inputs to every unit forecast. A "Chief Forecaster" must understand these inputs and be more...
Three Techniques to Reduce Aggregate Sales Forecast Error by MORE THAN 25 Percent in LESS THAN 100 Days : Reducing forecast error IS what the Chief Forecaster does! All forecast error eventually results in increased inventory error. When actual sales arrive at a rate less than the forecast, the result is residual inventory. Likewise, when actual sales outstrip the forecast, customers backorders result which almost always results in someone swearing to never let that happen again resulting in an increase in either safety stock or an arbitrary increase in forecasts. All of these actions ALWAYS result in increases in inventory, decreases in cash poor working capital metrics and an increase in the risk of the enterprise.

In this 1-hour FREE webinar, we will explore some specific techniques for better managing the quality and availability of tools and more...
Building a Cost Reduction Curve to Estimate Future Raw Material Prices : Annual raw material spend is usually the largest cost reduction opportunity in most manufacturing companies. By reducing the price of raw material items, a company is immediately reducing its cash outflow and increasing it liquidity. Further, reducing annual spend improves gross margins and allows for a more competitive finished goods pricing strategy if needed. The trick to systematically reducing sourced material costs is to start planning for raw material price reductions the day the item is FIRST sourced. This 1-hour FREE webinar presents techniques for calculating a projected cost reduction curve that accounts for volume, market and technology shifts.
Constructing a Component Criticality Matrix A Better Way to Identify Important Components : Procurement organizations are often responsible for managing thousands of parts that can be purchased from hundreds of Suppliers. The large number of parts and Suppliers makes it nearly impossible to manage each individual part as much as one wants to. This is why Procurement organizations rely upon stratification methods and other sorting methodologies to provide insights into GROUPS of parts. This way, the Purchasing professionals can focus on the important few parts while not wasting time on more...

These variances are usually, though not always, stated in terms of dollars. Specific variance that great plant managers have a tendency to routinely review, include: + more...
How to Dramatically Improve the Quality of Your Shipment ForecastsTechniques to Improve Forecast Inputs : Supply-chain professionals must NEVER stop thinking about the integrity of the shipment forecast. This is because a shipment forecast represents independent demand for company product which in turn drives the Master Production Schedule (MPS) process. Start with an inaccurate shipment forecast and a poor performing MPS is sure to follow. Continue with a poor forecasting process and inventory will surely balloon at the same time customer shortages increase. When forecasting is an afterthought, no one is happy!

What Cap and Trade Means to the Manufacturing Industry : Cap & Trade legislation (House bill 2454) currently being debated by Congress boils down to a tax on energy usage. For manufacturers who derive their energy (mostly electricity) from non-hydro-carbon or low-hydro-carbon sources, the tax will be relatively small but it WILL BE an additional tax that will erode gross manufacturing margins. For manufacturing companies that are located in states where their electricity is predominately derived from coal-fired energy plants, this tax will surely be extreme, and more...
