Plan For Every Part Template & Guide

This Plan For Every Part template and guide is written to help supply chain professionals understand data generation points like Modeling, Supplier, Logistic, Demand, Warehouse, Process Plan, Material handler inside the factory, Floor worker, Quality department, and customer data too and how they linked together.

Plan For Every Part (PFEP) can be a ten-time bigger version of the Material Resource Planning (MRP) system, which includes more data points to generate product information and make that information available at the required location or to a responsible person.

This concept originates from the Lean Community. The PFEP defines a plan (at the part level) for the most efficient replenishment and movement of every part used in business through the complete Supply/Value Chain.

I have used this concept during my days as Manufacturing Plant Supply Chain Manager and have reaped many benefits in terms of:

• Finding the right planning policy depends on the stocking procedure.
• Level load production plan, as a result, better efficiency
• Result of improved On-Time Delivery Performance & Reduction of Inventory as main supply chain KPIs.
