Introducing a new approach: The Dynamic Production Method.

Mark Lilly, president & CEO of LillyWorks Inc., discusses Solving the Late Problem in High-Mix Manufacturing Environments.

Today’s manufacturers still struggle with getting product out to their customers on-time whether they use white boards, spreadsheets, or traditional finite scheduling software. Supply chain instability and uncertainty further complicates the goal of reducing lead-times and being able to deliver orders on-time.

The Dynamic Production Method (DPM) is the next evolution beyond scheduling to fix the late problem and ensure OTD from Materials and Production to Shipping. It is founded on 3 Performance Principles

It is founded on 3 Performance Principles:

• Pragmatic Planning - Anticipate variability for when “stuff happens.”
• Proper Pacing - Control material entering WIP.
• Predictive Prioritization - Know what to work on next.

For DPM implementation, the Protected Flow Manufacturing™ (PFM) platform offers a simple, visual, proven approach to maximizing OTD through real-time prioritization. It helps users see current/future bottlenecks, simulation of production execution to predict start/finish dates of all jobs, and “What-If” analysis of different production scenarios.

By learning how PFM implements these proven techniques to Production Scheduling and Material Planning, manufacturing organizations can achieve:

• Better On-time Delivery Performance
• Higher Contribution Margin / Profit
