About this Presentation
A particularly challenging environment to implement the TOC distribution solution is manufacturing environments where there is a high degree of demand seasonality coupled with complex bills of material (BOM) structures. Seasonal environments require adjustments to the buffer targets in advance of actual consumption. Complex BOM structure environments require the ability to link the expected seasonal change in the finished goods demand through the BOM to the expected seasonal change in the raw material and component demand. This presentation will briefly describe the environment and the problem and then lead the participants through the thought processes we went through in designing and implementing the solution. From realizing that a finished good part requires multiple buffer targets with Effectivity Dates (EDs) to solving the problem where a raw material is in the BOM of hundreds of finished goods, and where the FG seasonal adjustment and dates all differ.
