MATERIAL FLOW & REPLENISHMENT
Put the right parts where work happens.
Reduce the daily chase for parts with clear replenishment signals, point-of-use material presentation, and a maintained Plan for Every Part.
What the work involves
Understand the shortage
Trace the path from receiving to the point of use. Separate purchasing shortages from internal replenishment, location, quantity, and accuracy problems.
Design the replenishment loop
Define part locations, container quantities, signal triggers, replenishment responsibilities, and the response time the process can support.
Pilot, measure, sustain
Test one part family or production area. Observe the replenishment cycle, adjust the rules, and train the people who will maintain it.
WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY
Clear deliverables.
A PFEP for the agreed parts, pilot Kanban rules, location and container standards, assigned owners, and a review routine.
HOW WE CHECK PROGRESS
Measures that matter.
Material-related stoppages, replenishment response time, stockouts, inventory accuracy, and inventory held for the pilot parts.
We agree the scope, baseline, and comparison conditions before the pilot. Results depend on the process, implementation, and operating conditions.
Built on manufacturing experience.
Deanna’s prior-career work includes Lean implementation in electronics and hydraulic manufacturing, with hands-on experience in material systems, production processes, SOPs, and training. The engagement starts by understanding your operation.
