New Report - Manufacturing Flexibility: Synchronizing the Shop Floor and Supply Chain.
The need to improve manufacturing flexibility is apparent; the market is pressuring manufacturers to improve customer responsiveness while reducing inventory costs... Have Manufacturers really implemented Best Practices to improve manufacturing flexibility? A survey from Aberdeen shows that:
- 76% are measuring operational metrics
- 59% are integrating production planning software to improve dynamic decision making
- 56% are attempting to control inventory costs through Lean manufacturing tools
There’s not one right answer but when all three of these strategic actions are viewed as a coherent strategy, a plan of action begins to surface: “Measure, Control, and Improve.”
In this Aberdeen Benchmark Report:
- Find out how plant floor automation, execution system configurability, demand visibility, production constraint visibility, and dynamic decision-making - all contribute to the success of manufacturing flexibility initiatives.
- Get the 3 key performance indicators (KPIs) that are used to measure manufacturing flexibility success.
- Know how to implement the three strategic actions Best in Class manufacturers are taking to improve manufacturing flexibility.
- See how the challenges surrounding this strategy can be overcome with technology implementations.
