Benefits of the Planned Domain

By Winston P. Ledet
The Manufacturing Game

We have spent considerable time in the Manufacturing Game newsletter focusing on the benefits and execution of the precision domain - removing the defects at the source (Figure 1). Our philosophy has evolved based on working with clients and modeling reliability; most organizations would be advised to focus first on eliminating defects and then on making the defect removal process more efficient with a planning and scheduling process. However, there are significant benefits to the Planned Domain and this article focuses on the specific benefits that are generated through the Planned domain and the keys to a successful transition to the planned domain. Using our Dynamic Benchmarking model and data from a hypothetical chemical plant we modeled at DuPont we were able to calculate the benefits.
