Trusted supply chain partner that specializes in lean principles to
deliver operational improvement. Three divisions:

Plan for every part (PFEP) is a database integrated with the
enterprise resource (ERP) system; that monitors and controls the
movement of parts within the supply chain network until the
point of use. It details and centralizes each part’s complete
information for increased visibility.

 PFEP system defines and sustains information about each part in
the process: where it comes from; How it is delivered, When and
how often, how it should be stored and packaged, the point of
use and when to replenish.
 A well designed and maintained PFEP System significantly
reduces material shortages, inventories, supply chain
complexities and costs.

POLL: What PFEP technology do you use?
Select all that apply.

 Appoint a PFEP Handler
 Fewer PFEP handlers will definitely
results in a more accurate PFEP
 Create a PFEP Change/Add Request Form
 Institute a guideline for PFEP documentation and approval
process before it appears on the shop floor
 Store the current updated PFEP in one central, accessible
location (Read Only).

 False information across the board
 Being active instead of proactive
 Failure to deliver the parts on time causing downtime
 The process of ordering materials in the exact
quantities becomes complicated
 Parts exceeding WH capacity & inventory level
fluctuates (Ordering Vs Consumption)
 Expedite transportation costs hit the roof
 Lost visibility and control over part delivery
POLL: What analysis do you
perform on your PFEP?

Question box.
