To cut down lead times, use IT systems to reduce ordering and production lead times, and use GPS to identify delays and causes in transportation lead times. When green inventory is too high, decrease the buffer by 33% or depending on how fast inventories need to be lowered, how risky the item/location is. Manufacturing priority should be given to stocks with low levels at plant warehouses. Determining initial buffer targets can take months, so starting with any buffer would allow reaching the right size over time while making progress.

what to do if distance between PWH and WSP is high?
Set up a new RWH
How to cut down ordering lead time? use of IT system How to cut down Production Lead time? use of Simplified DBR and priority of the manufactured parts should be tied to t heir stock level at the plant WH How to cut down transportation lead time? use of GPS system, to identify manual delays and RCA of delays in delivery The default recommendation for handling the too much green is to decrease the buffer. The basic principle says that we decrease the buffer by 33% when we need to, but this is a guideline and depends on several factors: How fast we want to lower inventories once we see that demand is going down How risky/important do we think this SKU is How risky/important do we think this stock location is Manufacturing priorities according to urgency in PWH? Traditionally Production will set time targets SKU but after TOC stocks with pri ority and quantity must be made first h determining the initial buffer targets took more than 3 months! This amount of time would have been enough to reach the right buffer from almost ANY initial b uffer size and we would have reached some results on top of it.
