What is manufacturing efficiency?
The simple definition of manufacturing efficiency is to fulfill customer orders as quickly and reliably as possible using the least amount of inventory and WIP.
It requires seven essential processes
Over the years we’ve learned that companies can only reach their full efficiency potential by deploying these seven essential processes:
•Essential #1 - Plan a Strategic Inventory
•Essential #2 - Target Dates with Flexible Feedback
•Essential #3 - Release Jobs with Material
•Essential #4 - Coordinate Work Centers
•Essential #5 - Issue Materials in Real Time
•Essential #6 - Update Job Labor in Real Time
•Essential #7 - Use WIP-Based Costing
Four core values promote efficiency
To reach your full manufacturing efficiency potential, you must combine the seven essential processes with a company culture that promotes the following core values:
•Value #1 - Planning Settings
•Value #2 - BOM and Job Accuracy
•Value #3 - Inventory Accuracy
•Value #4 - Real-Time Processing
Your efficiency gains will be dramatic
If you deploy all seven essential processes and integrate the four values into your company culture, your efficiency gains will be dramatic for these reasons:
•You will know when you can ship
•You will know when and what to make and buy
•You will know what to do next on the shop floor
•You will know what your products cost to make
