Reengineered Processes, Bottom Line Savings A leading semi-trailer manufacturer is looking for help from Sheng Gan, hoping to reduce both inventory and feed processing, that is closer to the assembly line of raw materials, and will generate out-of-stock, premium freight and sales of lost products. SCS has developed a set of value flow maps to help companies visualize and gradually form the basis for process reengineering and program implementation. It also shows the link between information and material flows, or the lack thereof. SCS also helped the company discover: Excessive inventory ($25 million) Excess storage location (19) Lack of visibility into entry materials Excess manual process Raw materials were situated too far away from the required location (transportation process costs $2.5 million) By recommending inbound metering centers, adding tools and instruments to improve visibility during transportation, improving inventory management and improving plant services, we helped the company achieve a 12% bottom line cost-savings and a total of $11 million in manufacturing and productivity.

Lean Network, Freed Up Cash Some premium, high-performance polymers and plastics manufacturers experienced increasing pressure to reduce operating costs while their product markets have become very unpredictable. Considering their frequently changing demand, our customers turned to SCS for a supply strategy for better warehousing and distribution management.

SCS’ on-sight operation designed and refined the company's North American supply chain network to meet their new business strategy, reducing the efficiency site from nine to three, while saving customers $22 million.
