Operations Are Your Biggest Issue
This is typified by:
- Poor due date performance
- Due date performance fluctuates throughout the month
- Pressure from other departments to reduce lead times
- Orders with short lead times jump the queue
- The required raw materials often are not available for production
- Resources in certain areas are insufficient to meet demand
- Overtime increases during these periods
- Rework increases as orders are rushed
- There is a large amount of expediting of orders when customers “shout”.
