About this Presentation
The presentation highlights the journey of our TOC implementation in the Motors Division at Bharat Bijlee, India. This is a mixed environment comprising of MTA, MTO and ATO (assemble to order), the complications were compounded because of the T-plant configuration. The business suffered from classic symptoms caused by working according to forecast (i.e. high stock outs, long lead times, low DDP, etc.) as well as firefighting and deeply entrenched local measures and silo behavior. The generic S&T was not sufficient to get the desirable results, and in the process it was realized that many new concepts had to be developed and implemented to address these special challenges. Significant operational results were achieved, enough to be perceived by the market, with significant improvement in financial performance. However, there are still challenges to be overcome both in Build and Capitalization: Reserving child components to take care of regular surges is becoming a difficult proposition. It remains to be seen whether better Inventory Turns for the channel partners (arising from superior availability and DDP) by itself does in fact constitute a Decisive Competitive Edge during a market down trend.
