(…)
The implementation of DBR rules and tools has been the leverage point of PRODUCTOS TUBULARES competitive advantage from the first quarter of 2015.
The whole steel pipe industry found in 2009 how efficiency optimization did no longer guarantee good bottom line results. Actually, it originated the following opposite and negative effects:

• Low Customer Service Levels

• Long lead times

• High levels of WIP inventory

Veering towards DBR Policies, eradicating old paradigms and believes, allowed PRODUCTOS TUBULARES to work in a demand driven environment where improving FLOW is core and the main input for all decisions is Customer´s Demand.

The shift from a PUSH System to a PULL System triggered results that could have appeared impossible before the implementation started:

•  85%+ Customer Service Levels

•  60% Lead time reduction

•  30% Inventory reduction PRODUCTOS TUBULARES

Top Management was very concerned about the impact inventory reduction would have in the balance sheet. Since it is a Stock Exchange listed company and inventory reduction alone would have meant weaker end-of-quarter results.

However, from Q4 2014 to Q1 2015 numbers show that Turnover improved (+60%) with less Rolled Tons (-7%) and just a slight increase in Finished Tons (+8%). This means that the right Customer Orders were being manufactured on time to be shipped and invoiced, increasing Turnover to improve the balance sheet despite the inventory reduction.

The DBR Implementation Project begun on November 2014 and lasted 4 months, delivering results already by end of the first Quarter.
