Manufacturing Profile • 30+ manufacturing facilities globally • 2 significantly different manufacturing styles • 30% Build to Style/Stock • 70% Engineer-to-Order (from custom & std components) • Plants typically perform • Fabrication: steel, copper, …. • Assembly and Testing • Network of vertically integrated plants, feeder plants and value-added assembly facilities
Eaton Business System The goal of EBS is to drive performance excellence through the deployment of company-wide values, tools and practices, thereby enabling Eaton to become a premier diversified industrial enterprise.
A Number of Operations Excellence Tools Growth & Operational Excellence • Eaton Lean Six Sigma • Supply Chain Management • Eaton Quality System • Fixed Capital Optimization • Eaton Value Cycle • PROLaunch
EBS delivers Significant Improvement Example Labor Productivity Return on Gross Capital Raw Material Inventory
Significant Untapped Opportunities Exist To obtain the best return by focusing resources on the highest impact opportunities. • When to apply these tools ? • Where to apply them? • How to phase them out?
Our Next Generation of Improvements Total Value Stream High Value Chain $ Plant Network $ Depth and Breadth of Improvement Impact on Financial Improvement $ Purchasing $ Shop Floor $ $ Technology Enabled Localized Low Kaizen Lean Six Sigma Integration of Improvement Methodologies Low High
The Key Factors for Success • Driving decisions on activity costs • Allowing “system” level opportunity to emerge • Accurate methods for assessing impact from a range of different types of opportunities • Bridging the gap from strategic to implementation detail • Tightly closing the loop (“audit”) between prediction and outcomes
A Different Approach To Tap This Value Eaton Electrical is applying a Predictive Costing Framework as the basis for reliably • Understanding sources of value • Sequencing sources of value • Monitoring capture of the value • Reacting consistently to changing business situations
What is Predictive Cost Modeling? A framework for reliably predicting the cost structure in new Enterprise Operation situations. The new situations could be substantially different from the status-quo, and could involve multiple types of changes across the value chain of the Enterprise
Significant Differences in Solutions If demand profile changes, expectations of cost reductions must be tuned • A rigorous view of the available opportunity • More insight into the expected outcomes Simplistic costing undervalues opportunities Sensitivity of costs to capacity utilization is significant
Integrated Finance and Operations Clemson ($) Chicago ($) Business Financials Plant Financials Department –Finance and Operations Equipment Capacity Utilization • Implementability • Consistent financial & operational view
Product Costs Implications • Better understanding of the impact on product costs
