डेटा की कमी से खराब उत्पादन निर्णय और पूर्वानुमान त्रुटि (Poor Production Forecasting & Demand Visibility)
Definition
In manual Kanban workflows without customer release schedule integration, production control teams make decisions in a vacuum: (1) Kanban card arrives indicating need for 500 units of SKU-A; (2) Planner doesn't know if this is a one-time spike or sustained demand; (3) Batch size is set based on historical averages, not actual customer forecast; (4) Result: Over-production of slow-moving grades or under-production of fast-moving specialty plastics. In Indian plastics manufacturing, SKU proliferation is high (50-200+ grades/colors per facility). Manual systems cannot optimize batch sizes dynamically. Decision errors include: (a) Wrong polymer grade selected, requiring rework; (b) Batch size too large, leading to storage and spoilage; (c) Batch size too small, causing frequent changeovers and lost productivity.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹40-80 lakhs annually. Estimated via: (1) Rework due to grade errors: 2-4% of production volume × average margin loss = ₹15-30 lakhs/year; (2) Spoilage from over-production: 1-2% of annual production value = ₹5-10 lakhs/year; (3) Inefficient changeover costs due to wrong batch sizing: 15-20 changeovers/week × ₹10,000 cost per changeover = ₹78-104 lakhs/year. Conservative estimate (combined): ₹40-80 lakhs/year.
- Frequency: Every production cycle (daily to weekly), affecting 50-200+ SKU decisions.
- Root Cause: Manual Kanban is decoupled from customer release schedules and demand forecasts. Card signals are instantaneous but contextless. No data aggregation mechanism to identify patterns or trends.
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Indian plastics manufacturers lose ₹40-80 lakhs annually in wrong-batch decisions due to lack of demand visibility in manual Kanban systems. Digital Kanban linked to customer release schedules and ERP forecasts provides visibility, reducing production variance errors by 25-35%.
