Loosing IKEA you have to pay attention to what your biggest customer tells you
Loosing on accounts receivables different clients, different risks
Reduced credit line what happens when you tell the bank your problems
Loosing trust of the suppliers Result:
We have capacity We have orders We have no cash to buy RM
The problem why did it
happen

There is Cash Constraint only and only if there are sufficient orders i.e. OTIF < 95% manufacturing capacity i.e. OEE

You have to change your FOCUS and subordinate to
the current constraint
Throughput rate T = ((S/TVC)^(1/n) -1), S= Sales, TVC = Totally Variable Cost, n = cash to cash cycle time
From Ravi Gilani

15th International Conference of the TOC Practitioners Alliance - TOCPA
Sell everything we dont need in nearest future Stop buying RM in big quantities just because it
is cheaper S-DBR to shorten production lead time Evaluate all clients and orders through new
constraint just T is not the criteria Focus on shortening cash-to-cash cycle
Aggressive discounts on prepayment Higher prices for suppliers with postponed
payment

Time for VMI offer
Results

15th International Conference of the TOC Practitioners Alliance - TOCPA
Cash constraint is (probably) the worst constraint
Exploiting and subordinating cash constraint also elevates cash constraint
When constraint changes you have to change your rules and policies (Cash Constraint is the fastest constraint to shift!)
It takes not too long to break cash constraint
