You're facing inventory supply chain challenges. How can you prevent disruptions in manufacturing operations?

Prepare a comprehensive risk management plan that includes scenarios for supply chain disruptions and how to handle them. Optimizing logistics process to reduce lead times and ensure faster delivery of materials. Build a strong partnership with your suppliers. Good communication can help to get priority during shortages or delays.

One thing that I have found helpful is to spend time testing and qualifying alternative supplies/materials so that you are not relying on a single supplier. Otherwise setting reorder points when stock gets low and maximum stock points will reduce the risk of running out of an item.

Agile Beschaffung ist für mich nur ein Begriff. Wesentliche F?higkeit des Einkaufs ist die Qualit?t der Lieferanten zu kennen. Das ist nichts neues!

Agile sourcing is a "rule of the thumb" for manufacturing. We should have at least 3 suppliers for each material we need. We make our suppliers partners rather than plain suppliers.

Relationships are important. If at all possible develop a relationship with your suppliers so they care about your business success.

If you look at the Honda model. They have a major commodity supply, typically 80%. Then a 10% and a couple smaller suppliers. When a supplier falters, they already have a supplier that they know how to work together as a backup. Although; Honda is going to really work at fixing the issue with the supplier first. Your supply chain is all about relationships. You need to have protection in place for catastrophic events.

An inventory buffer without a confirmed order book is a liability. However, a buffer aligned with future definite production or sales helps mitigate the impact of unexpected external factors in the supply chain.

Buffer stock is profitable in certain aspects, but having extremely high Work In Progress value or excess stock is also a liability for a lot of companies, especially products with low shelf life. Having said that, looking at it based on sales history's.... or if accurate forecasts/orders for end product can support boosting your holding of stock, I have found it to be quite useful in strenuous situations! Or of course if the company comes across brand new business, buffer stock would enable us to supply ASAP instead of relying on Supply chain sourcing raw materials, consumables etc. Some of which can have quite long lead times.

Maintaining a buffer stock I wouldn't advise. JIT (Just In Time) manufacturing is the more cost effective way. We do an MRP (Mat'l Reqmts Planning) at the last week of the month for the next month's production and redo an MRP after the 1st week of the month.

The purpose of inventory is to minimize risk, and while JIT, conceptually solves the problem, in practice JIT must be a core philosophy that impacts every facet of the business or it will fail spectacularly. The best case scenarios I have seen embody the data elements described (safety stock, reorder point and economic order quantity), but also include a seasonality factor and a meaningful single point of failure analysis. Last, and most importantly, every SKU (and its BOM) that is scaling up or phasing out must be managed manually and myopically, lest stock outs or inventory waste pile up. What I often see are companies that input manual targets, updating infrequently and panic when planning crashes. Sadly, most software packages fail.

If the automated systems do not record actual lead time from order to receipt, for every transaction, then inventory will always carry an undue risk. Supply chains typically use static data, which means that critical decision making lags the conditional needs of the business.

ERP and MRP have been around since the 90s even without an internet. What we have then is an intranet. Then came SAP and Oracle which are tools for doing this with technology.

Der Begriff Technologie-Integration ist hier v?llig fehl am Platz. Hier mekt man, dass der Artikel von einer KI erstellt wurde.

ERP based software is a must in today's dynamic environment where foval supply chain disruptions are quite normal. It helps in many ways to align your planning, scheduling with fluctuations in demands and supply. In the complex segments where products range in multiple of hundreds. Forecasting and MRP tools play a vital role in executing effective supply chain decisions

Lean Management is an integral part of the supply chain. As two of the wastage inventory and transportation are key important wastages which need to be controlled for effective supply chain

Process optimization is part of the Continuous Improvement program. But what we need is to know which ones to prioritize. This we can do by knowing the cycle time for each process step and conduct a DOE (Design of Experiments) on the ones with the highest cycle time.

Implementation of internal layered audits across all shifts to target improvement in the overall process. Target the most critical areas and perform read-across with corrective actions put in place.

Back in the late 1980’s and throughout the 1990’s Chrysler was notorious for their collaboration with their suppliers. This allowed for very strong supplier relationships that they maximized good and bad times.

One thing I have found helpful in building relationships with Suppliers is frequently visiting their facility and helping them develop processes for more efficient manufacturing. Provide support and training in different concepts like Kazan, lean and other quality tools to drive continuous improvements
