Mission objectives :
- Increase service levels while better managing inventories of raw materials, semi-finished, finished and distributed products, finished goods and distributed products
- Create clear visibility of execution priorities to enable effective utilization of high-capacity resources
- Introduce a tactical-based Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) operating model
- Transfer mastery of the R+ method and tool to the customer's team
- Create the basis for an eventual transition to Demand Driven S&OP (DDS&OP) processes in the Demand Driven Adaptive Enterprise.
Background :
Our customer manufactures automotive electrical connections made up of plastic parts (connectors) and metal parts (lugs) in two elementary parts production units (Metal & Plastic) and a dedicated assembly workshop. The company plans its operations from the Master Production Plan (MPS) through to scheduling, integrating forecasts and customer orders directly into its planning via EDI.
Project schedule :
The project was carried out in the following stages:
‣ Step 0 - Project scope definition
‣ Step 1 - Project start-up
‣ Step 2 - Operating model design
‣ Step 3 - DDMRP IT tool preparation
‣ Step 4 - Process preparation
‣ Step 5 - Go live and DDMRP monitoring
‣ Step 6 - DDMRP packaging management
‣ Step 7 - Closure
Results :
As soon as the methodology was implemented on a few product families, the company noticed an increase in its service rate, while better managing inventories of raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products and distributed products. This had a direct impact on working capital, with an immediate reduction in working capital and a better mastery of the R+ method and tool.
