UnDesirable Effects Production lead time of 90 days is too long to be responsive to customer demand. d Real sales is unsatisfactory, far from forecasting. There is no idea about how to set the reasonable inventory level. Sometimes the due date promised to customer is missing. Sometimes the demand for production is over the factory capacity. Marketing activity is behind the changes of customer requirement. 7
Focuses on inventory Investment increase Bad cash flow Obsolescence increase Increase the profit of company Reduce OE Carrying low level of inventory Protect sales Carrying high level of inventory 1. Replenishment lead time is too long. 2. Forecasting is incorrect. 3. Supplier is unreliable. 8
We go to LT reduction, because It leads to the ability of agile responsiveness. It decreases inventory. It is easy to set the goal of improvement activities. TOC-DBR and TOC-Replenishment teaches us to focus on it. 9

Embedding DBR in MRP/APS They had been running MRP and APS systems. It had been usual to have Master Production Schedule delayed by one month or more. We have changed the process of using MRP and APS. TOC-DBR provided the logic. 14

Seeking Cooperation with Marketing 1. On receiving customer orders, Production notifies to Marketing the expected due date depending on both customer request and factory capacity. 2. Two departments agree on the priority or sequence to process the customer orders. 3. Marketing promises customers on the delivery date. 23
Cooperations with Marketing Setting standard lead time Weekly input process of production plan Exploiting the expected due date Application of both TDD and IDD 24
Phase 2: Sales LT Reduction Demand Production Sales Phase 2: Customer Request Production Order Material Purchasing Processing End item Inventory Domestic Brach Phase 2: Customer Assembly Shipping Oversea Branch Dealer Customer 25
What to do at Phase 2? Which end-item to Make-to-stock? Customer tolerance time < Supply lead time Where to stock the MTS end-items? Factory warehouse or Overseas warehouse? How to replenish the stock? Depending on demand forecast and sales lead time 26
Sales Lead Time Customer Overseas warehouse Shipping lead time 40 days Plant warehouse Manufacturing leadtime material Stock buffers material Purchasing order 90 days 120 days Sales Lead Time : the duration until making the finished i goods available at overseas warehouse 27
Determining SLT 2 conflicting Criteria Marketing: shorter SLT boost up sales Factory: longer SLT decreases inventories Resolving the conflict Categorizing the end-items into 4 groups Immediate, Short, Medium, Long 28
