02 Demand Flow Capacity Model - intelligent production footprint analysis :
sku MP2002
Using VSM model & Lean manufacturing principles to determine gaps to customer demand using Theory of Constraints.
This is a Lean approach to evaluating manufacturing or production capacity. It calculates the gap of customer demand vs true capacity which includes both equipment and people performance. An extensive use of automated Takt vs Cycle time graphical display of all critical processes in the value stream. It also uses Theroy of Constraints to determine the critical bottleneck. Case studies are included to demonstrate the wise use of creativity over capital in relieving the constraints.

03 Demand Segmentation Modeling with Sales & Financial Analysis - for SKU rationalization :
sku MP2003
A more powerful tool than tradional ABC method by adding 3 dimensional inputs (revenue, gross margins, inventory, time sensitive sales variations) to produce a graphical representation. An important tool for strategic Value Stream Analysis (VSA) planning.
The software takes the complexity of manual calculation of lenghty historical database and statistical analysis. Most importantly, it displays a summary of the critical financial data at a glance. The smart algorithm allows the user to change critical inputs on the fly and witness in real time the net financial impact to the total business.

sku MP2004
Plenty of real world examples for a Lean Enterprise to align vision & annual execution cadence. How to steps to setup monthly Policy Deployment structure & formalized templates. A must for Lean Deployment in any organization. Avoid deploying corrective actions (countermeasures) that do not fix the root cause.
Transforming a traditional business into a Lean Enterprise requires stakeholders that understand and embrace the SQDC discipline and execution. This simulation game is used during a week long Lean or Six Sigma training class. At the end of each day, the instructor would ask the students (in groups) to apply the daily learning and continue to improve their respective factory design and manufacturing methodology. The students find out quickly that without quality, speed is meaningless. The class must develop a flexible manufacturing structure to win the team competition on the final day. The customer can change his order quantity and mix styles anytime. This game really bring the Lean and Six Sigma tools seamlessly together. The competition is intense and challenging till the very end.
Learning Features:
Quality & Quantity are inseparable.
Poke Yoke is more effective than 100% inspection
Simplcity is better than elegance
Make it a visual factory
Takt time vs Cycle time
Test and Validate constantly
Always consult with the customer (CTQ)
Flawless exectuion comes with practice
