Practical Supply Chain Consultants & Lean Manufacturing Consultants
Outdated Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) principles and narrow factory-focused lean initiatives contribute little to the flexibility and speed in response needed to keep pace with changing market dynamics. DemandFlow supply chain, demand-driven manufacturing, demand planning and inventory management consulting services provide concrete methods, grounded in mathematical principles, throughout the extended supply chain to:
- Create a supply chain process architecture that reduces waste, increases velocity and delivers repeatability
- Drives S&OP to profitably align mixed-model capacity with true customer demand
- Synchronizes production to customer demand through sustainable pull production methods
- Improves quality and empowers employees to make data-based decisions, respond to real-time events; while continuously improving processes
- Empower continuous improvement activities (lean, six-sigma, kaizen, etc) through a demand-driven strategy
Our goal with DemandFlow Consulting is to give you a realistic and easy-to-understand blueprint to build a new value chain. Since there are no off-the-shelf answers for your specific supply chain issues, DemandPoint’s supply chain management consulting team works on-site with your team – to diagnose your processes and your customer commitments before we recommend next steps.
Supply Chain Management Consulting Assessments
DemandPoint’s supply chain and lean manufacturing consulting assessments are typically one to six weeks in length. Our assessments start with on-site interviews of your key leaders. And we diagnose your current supply chain before we prescribe a solution. We offer two ways to diagnose your current supply chain:
- Audit services – a high-level supply chain review. We work with key customer facing and manufacturing functions; prepare a GAP analysis between the current supply chain and a DemandFlow Value Chain; provide a final report with ROI and actionable next steps.
- Full assessment – we prepare detailed data/financial supply chain modeling from customer demand to material supply and everything in-between; prepare a detailed GAP analysis between the current value chain and a DemandFlow Value Chain with priority of execution; deliver a final presentation and report with ROI and actionable next steps.
