Company Overview
Company Overview
DemandPoint Inc provides supply chain consulting, training and software. Our DemandFlow solutions are based on demand-driven optimization technologies, and result in increased sales and profitability, as well as significant reductions in working capital. These operational improvements stem from inventory reductions, fewer mark-downs and lost-sales, improved delivery time and performance, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
DemandPoint's proven supply chain methodologies enable its customers to generate greater free cash flow by reducing direct labor costs, optimizing inventory (across raw material, work-in-process and finished goods), and improving operating margins. To maintain and grow profitability, DemandPoint helps its customers focus on closely integrating true customer demand with manufacturing and procurement, while optimizing inventory and increasing worker productivity.
The science behind DemandFlow enables increased operating margins, lower product costs and reduced inventory by:
- Achieving an optimized flow of work content to improve velocity and productivity throughout manufacturing processes;
- Improving operating processes to facilitate faster employee training and certification and improved product quality through in-line quality checks;
- Improving the ability to change product mix quickly across common operations and resources; and
- Creating consumption or demand-driven procurement practices supported by calculated inventory requirements, reducing required and excess raw material by separating procurement decisions from forecasted requirements.
