SPEED...EVERY BUSINESS WANTS IT!

Every business wants to respond to changes quickly, deliver faster than the competition, have the right amount of inventory and resources available, and have the lowest possible cost. Speed is not only a competitive advantage but is directly related to strong financial performance.

What about your company?

  • Can it fulfill demand in half the time with the same or reduced labor?
  • Can it double its inventory turns while improving service and eliminating stock-outs?
  • Do all departments work together to achieve a common goal?
  • Does it respond to its customer inquiries expediently?
  • Is it prepared in advance for impending changes in the business cycle?
  • Are profits and cash flow increasing?

The ability to respond quickly while also having lower operating costs is within your reach. At Cadent Resources we implement operating solutions based on a simple premise – the shorter the time between a customer's demand and the supplier's fulfillment of that demand, the more profitable and successful the supplier becomes.

Our response management solutions integrate and optimize two complimentary components: supply and demand. Using a combined approach of lean manufacturing, business intelligence, and collaboration processes we drive profit and cash flow by helping manufacturing and distribution companies respond quickly and seamlessly to the ebb and flow of demand.  

  • Our DemandCaster Lean Demand Management SwaS solution evaluates the nature of your companies demand and supply and works to maximize your return on working capital by assuring the right amount of inventory and capacity are available at the right time.
  • Our LeanFacility Supply Management Solution increases the speed of fulfillment by optimizing the processes that generate waste in your organization. 
  • Our Business Cycle Analysis, compares your companies business cycle against key economic indicators to forecast impending changes to your business cycle.
  • Our CadentConnect Collaboration platform provides a secure means to share information across your organization including suppliers and customers to improve the quality of decision making.

From firms that need to redesign their manufacturing or warehousing space to improve the speed of delivery, to businesses that wish to optimize their inventory demand planning with the business intelligence of DemandCaster, we help middle-market distribution and manufacturing firms compete successfully and achieve their desired growth and vision.

Presentation: Demand and Supply in an Imperfect World

We will be presenting "LEAN DEMAND MANAGEMENT: Demand & Supply in an Imperfect World" at the Tooling and Manufacturing Association on September 9, 2008 from 8:00 am to 10:00 am. 

The presentation will discuss how achieving the ideal demand and supply pull system where there is a clean flow of data and information from the point of sale all the way to the supply of raw material is nearly impossible. We will provide methods that can be used to improve the synchronization of supply and demand and will establish the financial benefits that can be realized when doing so. You can download the flier here.

The Tooling & Manufacturing Association is located at 1177 S. Dee Road in Park Ridge Illinois.  The cost is only $10 to members and $20 to non-members.
