• Factory Up gradation project was scheduled in Period 13 ( a.k.a P13 ≈ Dec 2014)
• Length of Shutdown is one full period ( 28 days )
• Meant no production possible during the period
• The Project dates were not flexible
• For ensuring market continuity for FG ( finished goods ) we required to close P12
with a 45 days of inventory coverage against sales forecast ( approx. 2600 tons of
FG stocks )
• The inventory build up was originally planned over 3 periods of production
preceding P13 , however due to multiple factors we could not achieve the same
• Ultimately it boiled down to making 2100 tons in P12

National Supply Planner – SPOC between
Demand ( Sales ) & Supply ( Production )
What was done :
1) Highlighted the need of Reaching the Goal & buy
in / support garnered from top management
2) Set the overall target for the Supply System
3) Challenged the System to deliver the requirement
4) Individually connected with Stakeholders (
Operations , Warehouse / Supply chain / ,
Procurement , Quality , HR ) on the challenges
voiced
5) Again Set the Goal convinced the entire Supply
team that it is possible , got their buy in ::
Alignment done, negotiation done on what is
required for each function to deliver to ensure
over all goal is met
6) Connected All stakeholders Under one platform
to achieve ways to complement each other
7) Monitoring and course correct
Led all the discussions and acted as the center point
for the entire project planning to achieve the target of
2100 tons production & delivery
First step imperative to attaining a
goal is alignment , each individual &
function should clearly be able to
see the end objective of the GROUP
: If the end is visible the path can be
found
importance of attaining the goal
was demonstrated ( Y anything <
2100 tons wont do ) , Got buy in
from Stakeholders
Demonstrated that the Goal is
theoretically attainable basis
capacity to refute the mental
barrier of 1700 tons being max.
production ability
Analogous to magnetization of
a ferromagnetic material ,
when external magnetic field is
repeatedly applied all the
magnetic dipoles within the
material get aligned , giving it
magnetic properties
Similarly the Alignment of the
goal is the magnetization
process with aligns all the
dipoles ( Functions )within an
organization to achieve a
magnetic attraction to wards
achieving the goal 
•To reach the goal , identified the individual challenges for each function ( Previously Shared)
Identify Challenges
•If u share your challenge with a larger audience , it will become everyone's challenge ! SO
together everyone will try to find solution
•The individual challenges for each function was discussed together to find ways all can
complement each other .
•Example Production wants more runtime to meet goal , so maintenance team offers to do
preventive maintenance on the weekly off DAY !!
Share the challenges with TEAM ( together everybody achieves more )
•List all alternatives & together select best method to deliver result
•Set service level expectations within teams ( internal supplier customer relationship )
•Commonly agree to the ways of working
Find feasible solutions
In addition all associates Stretched them selves , working on week offs & holidays
also to make this happen
• *PPC : Production planning control
• *RDC : Regional Distribution center's A.K.A Finished goods Warehouse
• *TAT : Turn around time
Common plan
•Ensured we all had the same operating plan & alignment
•Individual functional plan ( e.g. Incoming material , maintenance
schedule etc. ) were also shared with each stakeholders to
enable decision making for individual action
•Defined Success criteria & milestones in each individual
operation basis which would trigger the next course of action
• Daily Cockpit meetings to take stock & take quick responsive
decisions
• Multiple Daily Progress reports generated to track situation &
raise alerts
• Basis the lag/deviation from plan or changes , change in plans
done fast to get back to original target
• We manufactured 2062 tons against targeted 2100 tons
• Highest ever manufactured in a period
• Lowest cost of conversion & logistics ever achieved
• Ensured we had enough pipeline to fill up stocks during plant shutdown
Personally the most Proud feeling was the change in Mindset that was
brought about in the entire process
Lets try
going even
