MANUFACTURING PRODUCTION PRESSURES (MARKET FOCUS)
- Summary
- Shortening customer demand cycles within the manufacturing industry
  - Different demand cycles are evident in various industries
  - Consumers are not always the direct customer, but are having a greater influence on them than ever before
- An increase in foreign competition threatens established manufacturers
  - Barriers to entry may lessen the negative effects of competition
- Falling profit margins are driving manufacturers into the red
  - An increasing cost of materials is putting pressure on margins
  - Competitive pressure on prices is also leading to lower margins
- Supply chains and products are becoming more complex
STRATEGIES TO TARGET MANUFACTURING PAIN POINTS (STRATEGY FOCUS)
- Summary
- Lean initatives help manufacturers trim waste from their processes
  - Total productive maintenance aims to minimize production line down time
  - Six Sigma focuses on production quality
  - Just in time manufacturing 'pulls' production processes
  - Kaizen (continuous improvement) ensures manufacturers continue to experience strategy driven benefits
  - 5S streamlines cleanup processes
  - Quick change over (SMED) ensures that reconfiguration of production lines flows smoothly and quickly
  - Adoption of lean strategies will vary by region, industry and individual company
- Demand driven manufacturing seeks to lower costs while improving customer satisfaction
  - Demand driven manufacturing removes the need for traditional forecasting
  - Employing demand driven manufacturing reduces the cost of holding inventory
  - Demand driven manufacturing can be challenging to implement
    - Production must be flexible enough to deal with changing demand cycles
    - Visibility into the supply chain is required for demand driven manufacturing
    - Real time operation leads to the most significant benefits from demand driven manufacturing
    - Managing information pertaining to demand driven manufacturing is critical
  - Demand driven manufacturing will grow in popularity, but manufacturers will need help
- Increasing supply chain visibility allows optimization of core and peripheral processes
  - Production visibility allows manufacturers to hone their core competency
    - Supplier interaction is an important element of a manufacturer's business
    - Customer interaction directly affects revenue, and costs
