Demand Driven ermöglicht es Unternehmen, Veränderungen in der Kundennachfrage in Echtzeit zu erkennen und Planung sowie Produktion sofort anzupassen, während die Versorgung als Pull-System funktioniert. In den 1950er Jahren revolutionierte Material Requirements Planning (MRP) die Industrie, doch die heutigen Anforderungen an kürzere Lieferzeiten und erhöhte Produktvielfalt übersteigen die Möglichkeiten des traditionellen MRP. Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) ist eine innovative Methode, die MRP in der modernen Welt relevant macht. DDMRP optimiert den Fluss von Informationen und Gütern, indem es Bestände und Materialflüsse an externe und interne Anforderungen anpasst. Es entkoppelt Prognosefehler von Nachschubaufträgen und richtet alle Prozesse an der tatsächlichen Marktnachfrage aus. Dadurch steigern Unternehmen ihre Geschwindigkeit und Agilität. DDMRP schafft einen Rahmen, in dem Industrie 4.0 und das Internet der Dinge optimal genutzt werden können, was zu Wettbewerbsvorteilen und verbesserter Rentabilität führt. Das Buch bietet konkrete Beispiele und über 300 Abbildungen, die alle Aspekte von DDMRP beleuchten, die Schwächen herkömmlicher Methoden aufzeigen und praxisnahe Anleitungen zur Implementierung geben. Unternehmen wie Michelin, Coca Cola und Unilever demonstrieren, wie DDMRP zu nachhaltigen Verbesserungen in operativen und finanziellen Ergebnissen führt.

A powerful exploration of grief following the death of the author's son that combines memoir, reportage, and lessons in how to heal Everyone deals with grief in their own way. Helen MacDonald found solace in training a wild goshawk. Cheryl Strayed found comfort in hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. For Carol Smith, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist struggling with the sudden death of her seven-year-old son Christopher, the way to cross the river of sorrow was through work. In Crossing the River, Smith recounts how she faced down her crippling loss through reporting a series of profiles of people coping with their own intense challenges, whether a freak accident, a debilitating injury, or a terrifying diagnosis. Smith deftly mixes the stories of these individuals and their families with her own account of how they helped her heal. General John Shalikashvili, once the most powerful member of the American military, taught Carol how to face fear with discipline and endurance. Seth, a young boy with a rare and incurable illness, shed light on the totality of her son's experiences, and in turn helps readers see that the value of a life is not measured in days. This is a beautiful and profoundly moving book, an unforgettable journey through grief, and a valuable, illuminating read for anyone coping with loss.
