“Sorting Out the Complexity of Manufacturing”

Presented by: Karen Vecchio, CFPIM, CSCP

 

Thursday, May 8, 2008

Feeling overwhelmed? Too many choices as you design your manufacturing strategy? Karen Vecchio can help.

Karen’s presentation at the May PDM dinner meeting will map four competitive strategies—Cost, Speed to Market, Service and Technological Innovation—against choices you have to make in Sales and Order Entry, Planning and the Shop Floor. She will also shine light onto your choice of Fulfillment Strategy—Make-to-Stock, Assemble-to-Order, Make-to-Order or Engineer-to-Order.

Karen’s work experience has including being a Design Engineer, Production Control Manager and Director of Materials, as well as an educator and consultant. She has been on the front lines cutting lead times from 4 weeks to 3 days, doubling inventory turns during business growth of 30% and attaining inventory accuracy of 99.9%. She has implemented three ERPs and dozens of supply chain improvement projects. Karen was among the first group of 508 to attain the APICS designation of Certified Supply Chain Professional.
