This seminar is a presented jointly by the Supply Chain and Manufacturing Practices within Unipart’s Consulting arm. The event is intended to help delegates increase the overall effectiveness and efficiency of their manufacturing supply chain. It is applicable for all functions within an organisation which have direct or indirect accountability for the production and delivery of products to customers at the best cost and with minimum inventory.
Course content:
-
Manufacturing Supply Chain Strategy
Manufacturing strategy is based on the twin drivers of customer need and cost effective supply. Therefore in this section we will consider the pro and cons of MTS vs MTO (and variants thereof), make vs buy and off-shoring. We will look at the deployment of inventory within the manufacturing supply chain to optimise efficiency.
-
Measures
Here we concentrate on the most aggressive of manufacturing measurement – overall equipment effectiveness; we highlight how it should be measured and the steps organisations can take to make improvements in each of its component elements. We will also look at other important measures such as velocity, mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to recover (MTTR).
-
End to End Optimisation
Functional optimisation seldom leads to a world class supply chain. In this session we will look at the overall cost to serve and the impact of complexity on costs. Using case studies and exercises we will show how the best supply chains are built on a combination of appropriate operational excellence and end-to-end optimisation.
-
Insight into our Tools and Techniques
In this final session we will illustrate how we use our operational and consulting tools and techniques to help clients deliver operational excellence. This will include PDM - our project prioritisation process; supply chain optimisation tools; and workplace techniques such as insight stars and inventory aim setting using our unique stock management system.
Learning outcomes:
An insight into both the high-level overview and the more detailed approaches that will enable delegates to address the effectiveness and efficiency of their manufacturing supply chains.
Benefits:
In many enterprises, operational silos that evolved organically with organisational growth represent the core challenge preventing manufacturing businesses from having a holistic view into their operations.
The benefits of creating a dynamic, operationally driven architecture that goes beyond delivering functional efficiency to seamlessly link business processes together are multi-dimensional and include increased customer-service levels, decreased costs, predictable compliance, and superior overall operational performance.
Who is the course for?
This workshop is designed for:
-
Supply chain professionals in manufacturing organisations who are looking for end-to-end supply chain effectiveness and how it links back to manufacturing performance
-
Manufacturing managers who need to take both internal and extended supply chain performance into account in planning and executing their manufacturing plan.
