KEEPING TRACK IN MANUFACTURING (MARKET FOCUS)
- Summary
- Constraints are restricting the ability of companies to expand production and are increasing the underlying costs
  - Energy prices are skyrocketing
  - Other costs can also affect the capacity of existing and new production and warehousing facilities
- Supply chain complexity is increasing as manufacturers outsource production and increase configurability
  - Traditional manufacturing is changing as companies transform into assembly shops and focus on configuration
  - Speedy production is being hindered by poor stock and materials management
  - Poor warehouse and factory management is negatively impacting labor efficiency
- Customers are demanding better service, improved cycle lengths and more information
  - Overall quality of service is still an issue for manufacturers
    - Poor service can lose customers
    - The cost of re-shipping can be significant
  - Dealing with customer returns still plagues some manufacturers
  - Customers want more from less time
    - Shorter delivery times are in demand
    - Customers want to be able to change configurations right up until delivery
  - Manufacturers are seeing demand for more detailed stock management information
MANUFACTURING INVENTORY STRATEGIES (STRATEGY FOCUS)
- Summary
- Outsourcing warehouse processes can reduce cost and improve quality of service
  - Shared space - pay for what you use - allows greater scalability
  - Increased visibility can be a benefit of warehouse outsourcing
  - Warehousing providers are able to provide a higher level of service
- Task interleaving lets manufacturers reduce travel time and associated costs
  - Task interleaving combines multiple function lists
  - The benefits of interleaving are significant
    - Interleaving can help cut costs and improve flow-through
    - Manufacturers can focus on different processes using priority based interleaving
- Cross docking seeks to reduce inventory holding and picking costs
  - Cross docking effectively removes the need for inventory storage and picking
    - There are multiple challenges associated with cross docking
  - Through cross docking manufacturers can drastically reduce costs and improve cycle times
- Technology is helping manufacturers support warehouse and stock-related strategies
  - A range of options are available to manufacturers looking to streamline warehouse and stock processes
  - Vendor activity in the warehousing area has been mixed
