Order management
Customer-driven order fulfilment should be the core competence of any business. To fully meet customer demands the factors of production, including human and manufacturing resources, material and information, must be managed. A critical issue is the increasing number of product variants and shrinking lot sizes, which massively increase the complexity and number of orders to be processed.
The Laboratory can help you to avoid disturbances, and eliminate excess inventory, long lead times and high personnel- and IT costs.
- Analysis: We examine whether the investigated design elements of order management help to fulfil the business goals. The resulting action areas are described with a view to actual feasibility, timeline, cost-benefit ratio and risk.
- Redesign: We set goals for redesign and elaborate guidelines how to achieve these goals. Process-driven redesign is the guiding principle to bring about a drastic cut in interfaces.
- Implementation: Possible ways of implementation include pilot projects or full-fledged roll-outs, both based on detailed step-by-step planning.
