Workshop Overview
This workshop was designed to help eliminate the following symptoms of inadequate Planning and Control:
- Poor Customer Service
- High inventory
- Constant changes to production schedule leading to plant inefficiency and low productivity, and higher manufacturing costs
- Missed customer deliveries resulting in lost sales, loss of credibility with customers and potentially, lost customers
- High distribution and transportation costs
- Risk to meeting financial commitments
