• Learn to balance the supply chain challenge of
  startup

2
Introduction

• Learning to balance growth, risk and a long
  supply chain can be quite a challenge with
  startups who need to manufacture something.
• Keep production cycles short but cost effective
  are incredibly difficult. Finding suppliers who
  are willing to work with you is also a challenge.

3
Challenges

• Lead time for the volume
• Overall cost management

4
Solutions

• Work with the manufacture
• Reduction of inventory on the receive side
• Increased the finished goods inventory
• Adjust and be flexible to changes

5
Lead Time For The Volumes

• They simply were not able to meet the lead time
  for the volumes and were losing great growth
  potential.

6
Overall Costs Management

• The challenge that Nota-Nota faced was how to
  offer greater quantities without incurring
  greater overall costs within the supply chain.

7
Work With The Manufacture

• Working with the manufacture, the team
  identified a win win by reducing the initial
  inventory levels but transferring more inventory
  into finished goods.

8
Reduction Of Inventory On The Receive Side

• On the reverse side, the reduction of inventory
  levels arriving saved storage space and with the
  finished goods taking up less space than the
  individual parts,
• The supplier was able to save on storage
  overall.

9
Increased The Finished Goods Inventory

• The finished goods inventory was increased by
  70 to respond to a single high volume demands,
• But the hope is that by catching one or two of
  these demands, larger growth will continue which
  in turn will reduce the short term risk.

10
Adjust And Be Flexible To Changes

• It allows for greater flexibility and faster
  responsiveness to customers demands.
• A supply chain that cant meet the customer
  demand is not very lean you just need the
  ability to continually adjust and be flexible to
  changes.
