Demand Flow Implementation Skills Workshop

 

 

Make your supply chain more responsive to market 
demands and less dependent on forecasting.

This intensive 3-day workshop is specifically designed for those company team members who are expected to have hands-on involvement in the actual implementation in the factory, and may be called upon to further deploy DFT in multiple product lines and/or complex processes and/or machines.

  • Implementation activities and milestones
  • Team definition
  • Quantifying projected post-DFT benefits

 

Mixed-Model Analysis

  • Product synchronizations
  • Mixed-model process mapping
  • Family definition tools
  • Mixed-model product synchronizations

 

Total Product Cycle Time

  • (TP c/t) response
  • Mixed-model line TP c/t
  • Optimizing TP c/t
  • Localized Kaizen improvement
  • Customer response compared to TP c/t

 

Mixed-Model Line Design

  • Line design features
  • Optional spur/feeder/fan line design
  • Mixed-modeling for made-to-order environments
  • Total demand and mixed-model feasibility
  • Seasonal product flow line design
  • Mixed-model resource calculations
  • Actual time weighted calculations
  • Operation/Resource/Pieces calculations
  • In-process Kanban sizing
  • Advanced balancing techniques

  • Computer management of Kanbans

 

Operation Cycle Time (OP c/t) Detail

  • Effective hours summary
  • Planned/Predictive/Preventive maintenance
  • Shift patterns
  • Demand at capacity
  • Seasonal/cyclic demand patterns
  • Demand patterns vs. factory capability 
  • Inventory and capital investment
  • OP c/t vs. actual work time

 

Detailed Sequence of Events Analyses

  • Internal versus external setup/move
