A Plan for Every Part (PFEP) is all about determining the right part at the right time, in the quantity needed. Turbo Flow: Using Plan for Every Part (PFEP) to Turbo Charge Your Supply Chain explains how to take this detailed inventory plan from the manufacturing arena and apply it to boost performance and cost efficiencies in your supply chain. It explains how to use PFEP to improve management of your raw materials, WIP, and finished goods inventories.
Tapping into two decades of combined experience at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, the authors explains how to use PFEP to determine how much you need to build, the proper frequency for deliveries, how often you need to pick up from suppliers, and how much inventory you require.
-
- Presents an overview of PFEP for finished goods
- Discusses internal route planning and design using PFEP data
- Details external logistics and synchronization of manufacturing, logistics, and inventory cycles
For those willing to fundamentally change the way they do business, this book will light the path to more efficient and profitable supply chain management.

Robyn Rooks is founder and president of MPnL Solutions, Inc., and has been helping companies in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe for the past 10 years to develop and implement Lean production systems with great success. He has created a culture change within nonunion and union organizations by working with management and the shop floor. He emphasizes building a “doing it with you” not a “doing it to you” culture.
Rooks started his Lean career in 1988 at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (TMMK) in Georgetown, Kentucky, where he was one of the original 1,700 employees hired to start the facility. Rooks spent two years on the production floor learning the material flow of TPS. He spent six years in the pilot “new model prototype” organization designing inter-departmental, external and internal assembly route delivery systems and balancing work content, writing standard work, designing supermarket layouts, setting kanban standards, ensuring flow and performing packaging approvals for new models.
Rooks spent four years in the production control and conveyance department, as a specialist, where he performed monthly planning for overseas suppliers, was North American engineering change implementation coordinator, was build-out and start-up coordinator, and as a North American parts ordering specialist was responsible for ordering components for the assembly lines. Rooks worked directly with suppliers to develop a Lean environmentto support the needs of TMMK.
