Shortage-proof your material delivery systems, without overstaffing or wasting resources.
Advantages of Mixed Model Material Management
Mixed Model Material Management is a step-by-step methodology for designing a Lean
material flow system. This course was designed with manufacturing in mind; however, we have
also successfully applied the same methodology in several healthcare environments. It starts
with the creation of a comprehensive database of part-related information, called a Plan For
Every Part. It also requires a deep understanding of the methods of Pull, Flow and Kanban.
The result is a material delivery system that supports the management of a large number of
different products, options, and items, with high efficiency and quality. We would go so far as
to claim that your material delivery system, following this methodology, would essentially
shortage-proof your production lines.
The tools of Mixed Model Material Management can handle inevitable changes in mix and
volume, without delaying or stopping the line. And it can do so efficiently, without overstaffing
or wasteful material delivery activity.
This is how the “big boys” design their material management systems. This methodology is
being used by manufacturing leaders like Toyota, John Deere, Ingersoll Rand, The Boeing
Group, and many others. It has also been used in healthcare facilities including Maine Health,
Orange Regional Medical Center, and White Plains Hospital in New York. You can learn it too.
