Demand Flow® Technology
Demand Flow technology folds into our Six Sigma efforts by ensuring customers receive the Pro-face and Xycom products they need when they need them. It was developed by the Jc -I-T Institute of Technology, Inc. and has been successfully implemented by leading companies such as DuPont, RJR Nabisco, Whirlpool, Eastman Kodak, and Xycom Automation.
The goals of Demand Flow technology are to produce a wide mix of high-quality products in the shortest time possible - while keeping the cost of finished goods competitive.
Rather than just a manufacturing tactic, Demand Flow technology is a mathematically-based business strategy that encompasses the entire Pro-face enterprise: marketing, sales, order entry, engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and finance. Demand Flow technology manages every aspect of the product cycle - from the time the product is ordered, until it is shipped. Its sophisticated procedures ensure a wide mix of products are available at a flexible daily rate to meet customer demand.
Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that produce goods in large quantities based on historical forecasts and holds them in inventory, Demand Flow technology is based upon rapidly building products to customer order. This process ensures that customers receive fast availability of a wide selection of Pro-face standard products as well as custom and modified ones.
