A Solution for Distribution and Supply Chain

With the exception of companies whose stated business is retail, most companies tend to ignore distribution. This is a huge mistake. Since every company is a link in a supply chain, most already realize that as long as the end consumer has not bought, nobody has sold. The biggest clot in the supply chain - the majority of the inventories - are usually found in the distribution stage. If a company wants to prosper its managers must understand how to help the distribution link to drastically improve its performance.

Pull System - trigger supply based on actual consumption.

Replenishment - supply the minimum necessary amount to protect availability during the replenishment lead time.

Aggregation - placing inventory in the right place to significantly reduce the amount of inventory required to protect against consumption variability.

 

Key Points

  • An extensive explanation of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) analysis and solution to manage a distribution supply chain to maximize availability with less inventories.
  • A self learning tool developed in an interactive type presentation for self-learning as well as group training, that provides the know-how of “what to change?” and “what to change to?”
  • SIMPLE & common sense procedures to change from a push to a pull system to ensure availability at point of sale, while significantly reducing inventory levels.
  • Learn at your own speed and easily review any of the material, as you need!
