Company’s Problems
– Poor aggregate planning a scheduling
– Lack of demand planning
– ‘Muda’ in inventory control and planning
– Obsolete supply chain technology
– Non-existent reverse logistics and sustainability
– Poorly operated transportation systems
These problems have resulted in loss of profits from $200m to $75m, long sitting times which resulted in high warehousing costs, inflated labor cost with too much overtime; obsolete supply management software that delivers logistics teams late and incomplete data. As a result, without such data, it’s impossible to plan for just the right inventory, space, and labor to meet the demand. Poor coordination and scheduling which adds costs. No vision into streamlining Logistics and supply chain processes to maximize operations.
Based on the problem state you will take one of the six areas and develop a presentation on how the problem will be solved and what approaches can be used for sustainability
