The Solution
Capacity Forecasting Model
We created a capacity model that converted the demand from the 6-month forecast into the amount of needed production labor. We leveraged the model to redesign the production shift schedule to align production labor perfectly with demand.
We eliminated unnecessary overtime, without needing to reduce the actual employee count, saving the organization up to $3.3 million annually.
Optimize Warehouse Management
We redesigned the inventory placement in the warehouse based on inventory value grading, making the materials that move the fastest the most easily accessible.
We streamlined the process to move inventory from the production lines to the docks.
The AMEND Process
Production Throughput Assessment
We walked the floor to understand production constraints and critical job functions.
Designed a Working Model
Built a rapid proof-of-concept model to calculate the labor needed to meet demand. Tested the assumptions over a multi-week period.
Redeployed Production Shift Schedule
Leveraging the scale-up model, AMEND deployed a six-month labor projection and staffing schedule to match production labor with current demand.
