Development of logistics LINDI WILDAU 2007
Main goal for logistics • Reaching objectives • Effective • Reducing costs • Efficiency • 2 goals, hard to obtain simultaneously LINDI WILDAU 2007
Push versus pull LINDI WILDAU 2007
Example Pull: JIT • Not time is important, but stock • Zero inventory • Or deliver late LINDI WILDAU 2007
Example push: MRP1 • Ensure that time as promised is met • Runs on keeping (high) levels of stocks • Does not take capacity into account LINDI WILDAU 2007
Conclusion • When looking for one aspect, you have to give something else up • Once people have got used to one aspect being well done, they want the other(s) as well and find that this is (almost) impossible to achieve with the presently used tools • Result: frustration and always need to change policies within logistics, or acceptance. • 3 aspects seem to dominate push/pull models: • Time • Stock • Capacity LINDI WILDAU 2007
So why not show in advance the expected pro’s and cons of a chosen model/tool? LINDI WILDAU 2007
Suggested place in the triangle LINDI WILDAU 2007
Could be used as a warning for what might be expected and what not LINDI WILDAU 2007
Conclusions: • We should find better ways to explain those not blessed with a thorough understanding of logistics what a choice can bring and what will be hard to achieve while using this logistic tool LINDI WILDAU 2007
