Abstract :
Response and flexibility have emerged as the key differentials in the electric motor industry. Customers demand product availability and flexible order policies in order to satisfy their demand requirements. The outdated techniques of schedule based manufacturing are no longer competitive. The proven tools of the mathematically based, Demand Flow(R) Technology (DFT) provide a viable alternative. By employing the DFT methodology, electric motor manufacturers can respond quickly to changing customer demands and can leverage the weapon established in manufacturing to gain market share and optimize margins
