Lean Manufacturing Tools, Inventory Management Solutions, Demand Planning Best Practices & S&OP Best Practices
You may be facing a market that demands dramatic increases in capacity – yet building additional bricks and mortar is out of the question. Or… the market has demanded that your factory scale back capacity – urgently – to consolidate assets, factories and plants.
As manufacturers adopt demand driven strategies, such as Lean, Six Sigma, and Flow, DemandPoint’s technology can jumpstart their implementation with powerful production and distribution optimization for sustainable improvements. At the end of the day, the end goal is to build mixed-model line designs that achieve faster throughput and allow manufacturers to:
- Utilize lean manufacturing tools and DemandFlow strategies to get more done with less resources
- Leverage demand planning and S&OP best practices to stop the need to expedite orders; and
- Implement DemandFlow solutions to cure scheduling and queue times that damage cash flow.
This is accomplished with DemandFlow Technology principles that are flexible and responsive to your customers’ needs.
How DemandFlow Technology helps in the factory:
- Creates a better mixed-model flow whenever your company needs to expand or rationalize capacity.
- Develops processes to reduce manufacturing lead times so you can produce faster to meet demand.
- Gives you the power to produce consistently so your process becomes repeatable and predictable – without the strain of expediting.
- Enables you to reduce inventory (and working capital) as goods require fewer resources to produce… and improve customer delivery performance at the same time.

DemandFlow Technology works for thousands of companies. DemandPoint’s inventory management solutions, S&OP and demand planning best practices, and our suite of solutions that extend far beyond simple lean manufacturing tools can work for your company too.
DemandFlow Technology in the factory often begins with demand-driven supply chain training, and is supported with our award-winning supply chain consulting and supply chain management software. Instead of academic rhetoric, our manufacturing training uses hands-on tools and tangible ways to balance production and integrate your supply chain. Our supply chain consulting team offers assessments and on-site visits to help your company understand what’s possible. We help manufacturers understand problem areas, whether they are large or small, before we offer to take action. Then our supply chain consulting provides a step-by-step vision that leads to real and achievable change.
