Supplier Risk Management Capacity Analysis

Supplier risk management and capacity analysis are crucial for ensuring that a supply chain remains robust and reliable, especially in manufacturing. TPT plays an essential role in this process by offering comprehensive services that address supplier capacity, risk mitigation, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and training for continuous improvement.

Supplier Capacity Review and OEE Calculation

Supplier Capacity Review is the starting point where TPT maps out value streams and analyzes part volume and mix to understand the current capacity. This review also includes an in-depth examination of planned cycle times and process routings to identify potential bottlenecks or inefficiencies. Calculating OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is a critical part of this stage, as it allows for a quantifiable assessment of how effectively suppliers are utilizing their resources.

Risk Mitigation and Corrective Actions

Once the capacity is understood, the focus shifts to Risk Mitigation. This involves summarizing any constraints identified during the capacity review and determining the corrective actions required. TPT establishes countermeasures by setting up mix impacts, reducing complexity, and creating a comprehensive communication plan to ensure that all stakeholders are aligned.

Developing the OEE Roadmap

The OEE Roadmap is then developed to address any performance issues identified during the capacity review. This roadmap includes mapping constraints, validating cycle times, and exploring root causes of any systemic issues impacting performance. TPT helps drive corrective actions and improvement plans that align with the broader organizational goals.

Training, Coaching, and Transitioning for Sustainability

Finally, the Train, Coach, and Transition phase ensures that the improvements made are sustainable over time. TPT provides an overview of OEE, gains leadership team consensus, and implements zone control. Training is provided for front-line supervisors and operators, equipping them with the skills needed to monitor and correct any deviations swiftly.

A Structured Approach to Supplier Risk Management

Overall, TPT provides a structured approach to supplier risk management and capacity analysis, ensuring that supply chains remain efficient, responsive, and resilient against potential risks. Contact us today to learn more!
