How can we adjust our production planning and scheduling to meet the changing needs of the crisis?
Having been through multiple hurricanes as a project portfolio planner, I can say with 100% certainty that there is no tougher exercise that having to design a catch-up plan after disaster disrupts the supply chain. Â
Thankfully there are guidelines that your organization can follow to ensure you are getting back to your feet while managing customer expectations. Â This is not a place anyone wishes to be, but unfortunately the grand majority of us have just been thrust into what amounts to a national natural disaster. Â We all must unite and share our experiences 'weathering the storm' if are to come out on the other end with just a few bruises and hard lessons learned.
Takeaways:
•  Rebaselining orders is a necessary evil
•  A catch-up plan is mandatory to manage order backlog
•  You will not make everyone happy, prioritize, over communicate, and follow the playbook
