The end result of focusing on flow and ignoring local cost considerations is a much lower cost per unit. This may seem counterintuitive, but improving flow and eliminating waste in the production process leads to higher efficiency and productivity, ultimately resulting in lower costs. This is one of the key principles of Lean production. Reducing lead times is a key aspect of improving flow in the production process, a central focus of Lean production and the Theory of Constraints. Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) in a manufacturing plant can lead to a drastic reduction in lead time and much better responsiveness, which in turn enables a reduction of inventory in the supply chain. By reducing lead times, companies can improve their due date performance, reduce work-in-process inventory, and ultimately lower their costs per unit. The opposite is the traditional approach to manufacturing, which focuses on maximising resource utilisation and minimising costs at the local level rather than optimising the flow of products through the entire production process. This traditional approach often leads to long lead times, high work-in-process inventory, and poor due-date performance.

Building Resilient Global Supply Chains: Ensuring Trust and Reliability Picture this: raw materials zipping across continents, powering industries worldwide! We are dealing with it for 16 years and we know: global chains are more complicated than the supply of materials within one country or in neighboring countries. The organization of such cross-continental transactions demand a thorough and professional approach to address the multitude of challenges that arise. 🗺 Each link in the global supply chain must stand firm and be grounded in reality. Allow us to share an illustrative example: Recently, we were approached by a company offering alternative raw materials. Their package included material specifics, chemical analysis, and detailed photographs, seemingly aligning with our requirements. Before embarking on any collaboration, we conscientiously assess each step of the process, seeking clarity through several pivotal questions: 🔔 Question 1: Origin and Quality Assurance - Where does this material come from, what is the country of origin? Do we have the opportunity to pre-assess the quality of the material, to carry out quality control during shipment? 🔔 Question 2: Production Stability - How regular and stable is the production of this material? That is, we want to be sure that when we find a buyer, this material will be available and we will be able to fulfill the terms of the contract signed with the buyer. 🔔 Question 3: The Integrity of the supplier - How do we match in values? How confident are we that when we find a buyer, we will be able to agree on the terms of the contract, that the material will be homogeneous and exactly the one that was declared and inspected by us? In this way, a thorough check of every participant in the supply chain allows us to build supply chains for many years. Should you wish to explore the possibilities of a reliable and resilient global supply chain, we invite you to connect with us. #scrap #slag #globalsupplychain #ferrouswaste #ferrousscrap #InternationalTrade

Obviously I agree all this is good stuff, I have been practicing it since the last century. The key thing is that you understand the flow through the entire value chain; sales is never a constraint is it? 😀 Michael Porter is credited with creating the value chain in the mid-1980s, but it’s not an end to end business value chain. I created an end to end business value chain in 1989 which contained a RACI matrix too. I came to this from reading Shingo and Imai, a little diagram in Part 4 of BS5750 (now ISO9000) and an understanding that empowerment results from inverting the organisation chart Kevin Bray. My colleagues in Holland used swim lanes to augment this approach, so that is how I approach this analysis now. I have used Results Chain Wovex as a tool to create benefit maps. It becomes really clear if you analyse the benefits properly that increased revenue is much easier to realise than reduced cost unless there is a demand constraint. What do you think about that hypothesis?
