About this Presentation
This presentation describes the use of the Viable Vision (VV) and the strategy and tactics (S&T) tree. The S&T tree provides a method of focusing the organization’s management and efforts. The focus is on the decisive competitive edge of inventory turns. There are different templates that provided different focuses on different competitive edges. Traditionally management spreads attention on everything versus the TOC focus methods. The first step is to get top management to adopt the S&T as the only initiative of the company. One must ensure an outstanding start of the S&T initiative with immediate substantial organization benefits. An example is provided of a large company where within 12 weeks SDBR, distribution replenishment solution, sales solution, CC solutions, etc. were implemented. Lead time shrunk 50%, productivity doubled, 50% excess capacity exposed, shortages eliminated, availability increased (sales increased 20%), project lead time reduced 20%, DDP increased from 20 to 83%, and productivity doubled.
