A Vertically Integrated Supply Chain Case Study - Presented by Debra Smith 

This presentation is a follow-up on the LaTourneau Technologies (LT) presentation given by Dan Eckermann which is also FREE to view here on TOCICO's RU-vid channel. This is Debra Smith's view of what they did versus what Dan Eckermann presented which was his view. Debra provided an overview of the steel mill and what they build (oil rigs, large heavy equipment loaders). The vertically integrated supply chain with control points and strategic buffers was described. Education provided included a two-week Jonah course. Lessons learned i.e. control points in sales, engineering, front end and back end production, etc. with respect to the bottleneck capacity, measures, portfolio management, etc. were also discussed. The current design for critical chain, drum buffer rope, and the replenishment solution was described. A description of actively synchronized replenishment (ASR) was provided. These concepts were discussed for internal constraints, industry downturn and economic downturn (recession) environments.
