Put a simple check sheet in place, right? To identify how many times the plan actually changes per week. you will be shocked, right? Because they don't know that the plan changes are going on. Right? So first of all, put a simple check sheet in,  so every time the plan changes, you want the planner to put a little cross right? Then you can start analysing those crosses as to who's actually initiating those crosses. And the perception is it's the customer, it's all to do with the customer. You change because of the customer because of the demand. I will guarantee you that the majority of those changes comes from production and your own supply chain. Yeah. Those are in your control. The lines broken down. Right? The supplier didn't deliver on time. Well, the bloody supplier! Bang him on the head. No, no, we changed what we wanted from the supplier six times. And then he didn't deliver what we wanted. Understand the amount of variability that's actually happening inside your own organisation? Because that's where you need to start. Yeah, variability is the killer. Yeah. And if it's inside your own organisation, it should be in your own control.Yeah, that's, that's awesome. You'll clearly see it just by doing that simple approach and a similar approach to what you said the short stops and the same thing again, that's neat.LinksBrad is proud to support many Australian businesses.
