SCL Course: Introduction to Plan for Every Part (PFEP) and Inventory Sizing

Primary tabs

Course Description

Plan for Every Part (PFEP) is proven to be the most effective way to optimize end to end material flow. Breakthrough results in working capital improvement, inventory right-sizing, on-time-delivery, manufacturing throughput, and cost reduction are achieved through this solution, but how do you do it?

This series will work backwards from customer demand to manufacturing conveyance and presentation to supplier replenishment methods and frequencies in order to develop, deploy and sustain end to end lean material flow processes. You will learn the critical components of PFEP that ensure delivery of the right parts, at the right time, in the right place, in the right quantity, with the right quality, at the right cost.

Course 1: Introduction to PFEP and Inventory Sizing

How can my organization use PFEP to optimize material flow? What does an effective PFEP program look like? How should we size inventory and present material to production?

Special Note

Course 2: Plan for Every Part (PFEP) and Inventory Layout is May 18-19, 2017 (you may want to stay two additional days and register for that course to complete both in one week)
