Case Study
Supply Chain Transformation with PLB
Analysis of a manufacturing company's success in accelerating production using the PLB buffer stock system.
Challenge
- 1High capital costs for upfront raw material import taxes and uncertainty in goods arrival time (lead time) causing stock-out risks and swollen storage costs at the port.
Solution
