Lean Operations

The Goal

Assess needs and then implement lean operations tools/practices that work WITH your enterprise systems and not AGAINST them.

Historical Challenges:

• Engineered product orders lack proper management and margin analysis/controls—resulting in margin erosion across the quote/order lifecycle.
• Production forecasting, planning and scheduling are based on historical forecast methods resulting in unbalanced production and unnecessary expediting.
• Bills of material, shop routings, supplier requirements and documentation needs are not synchronized with the lean production practices.
• MRP planning horizons are too long resulting in unnecessary system noise and overproduction.
• Software vendors have implemented dead-end application solutions that don't fit into an overall lean enterprise solution.

eLogic's Approach:

• eLogic specializes in value stream analysis and systems integration assessments to document gaps in your current business environment and develop solutions that close them with high yield improvements.
• We specialize in integration of Lean visual tools with enterprise business systems.

• We connect special order requirements from your systems to your suppliers ensuring a closed loop for procurement and documentation.
