How we can help
Improve customer response and product availability by optimizing stock and demand forecasting strategies, securing a higher service level. This involves analyzing and adjusting safety stock levels to balance the risk of stockouts, optimizing inventory management, and reducing stock costs:
- Finished Product Pull Planning: developing a model to reduce excess stock and stockouts;
- Raw Materials Pull Planning: developing a model for leveling supplier deliveries and reducing delays with the minimum quantity required;
- Weekly Production Planning: planning development in line with component availability to increase compliance with the production plan and the subsequent stock reduction.
Streamline quality control processes by simplifying and automating workflows, allowing for a faster response in products’ analysis and approval, significantly reducing time to market:
- Raw materials: design solutions to reduce lead time from receiving raw materials to their release. This involves increasing laboratory productivity and optimizing the analysis carried out;
- Packaging materials: design solutions to reduce the lead time from receiving packaging materials to their release;
- Bulk release: design solutions to reduce bulk release time;
- Finished product release: design solutions to reduce finished product analysis time;
- Standardizing preparation work: standardize the material preparation process to reduce lead times from preparation to verification;
- Designing the artwork process: standardize and design the artwork process to reduce the lead time needed to launch a new version.
Reduce operating costs with preventive and predictive maintenance programs, increasing equipment’s useful life and reducing the frequency of costly interventions.
Adopt digital transformation solutions to overhaul management systems, from process automation to integrating advanced analysis platforms, boosting operational efficiency.
- Reduce recurring deviations: define a strategy for classifying and mitigating deviations occurring more than once in a given period, which involves restructuring the registration, investigation, and deviation resolution phases.
- Eliminate variability: implement quality control methods and statistical tools to minimize variability in production processes, ensuring greater product consistency and conformity.
