Introduction to Market Demand-Pull
Introduction to Market Demand-Pull lays out the fundamentals and practicalities of implementing the common sense approaches in Dr. Goldratt's books in an entertaining and interactive way. This two-day high-level program exposes the underlying root conflict that is responsible for many of the problems of supply chains (both internal and external), such as:
- Due dates are often missed.
- There is too much overtime.
- Original plans have a very limited life.
- Priorities are constantly shuffled.
- It is difficult to respond to urgent customer orders.
- There are frequent materials/parts shortages.
- There is too much expediting.
- Production lead times are too long.
- Inventory levels are too high.
- In spite of high inventories, we're short of the inventory we need now.
- Too many missed sales to the end user/consumer.
- There are too many emergency shipments.
- The amount of returned product is too high
- Too many orders are shipped incomplete.
The participants are taken systematically through the direction of the integrated solutions of Market Demand-Pull (often referred to as Drum-Buffer-Rope and Buffer Management, and Distribution or Replenishment). Through the use of a case study approach, these solutions are easily understood.
