GE VENTILATOR FLUCTUATING DEMAND AGENDA Executive Summary Data Analysis Current & Future Challenges Summary/Next Steps Value Stream Map Findings EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Objective: To determine and quantify the effects of COVID-19 on the General Electric Engineering supply chain and production facilities through: • Evaluation of current raw data • Analyzation of current value stream map • Research current ventilator market trend As per the current data, the demand for ventilators will continue to be high and is forecasted to spike at any point. DATA ANALYSIS Demand started to increase on Quarter 2 of 2019. Forecasted figures found to be flat but proven otherwise. 502 was the lowest demand for ventilators Highest demand was 10192. VALUE STREAM MAP FINDINGS 1. Supplier drop off times must be guarded as to avoid raw materials wasted (already paid for) 2. The inventory rate between the gas accumulator & monitor assembly must be looked closely as it serves room for higher wastage rate. 3. Gas accumulator has the highest staff number they should be divided all around the factory as to prevent waste of time CURRENT & FUTURE CHALLENGES People Ensure that each process operations have the necessary amt of people & there is no overstaffing or deficiency Process More transparency between the supplier delivery Costumer demand must be given utmost emphasis Develop production methods by identifying “wastes” or valueless endeavors Technology Ways to make process much faster Partner with innovated logistics companies that cater to mobile applications for ease & accessibility to consumers Send out presentation along with notes to colleagues Assign actions to the persons involved NEXT STEPS Schedule and follow-up assigned people next meeting Ensure that all parties involved agree to the further action about to be taken
