Why eLogic: Lean Supply Chain

Lean Supply Chain

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.

The Goal:
Assess needs and then implement lean supply chain tools/practices that work WITH your enterprise systems and not AGAINST them.

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.

• For those companies using Lean Manufacturing processes on the shop floor, we implement system that support Kanbans, Heijunka Boards, Lean Order Scheduling and Lean Accounting.

• We connect special order requirements from your systems to your suppliers — ensuring a closed loop procurement, documentation and delivery flow.
