LoBue: Real Resources: Our Services: Backlog Analysis

BACKLOG ANALYSIS

LoBue's approach to developing business resumption plans

THE NEED
Tracking and managing production volumes in order to eliminate processing backlogs is a time consuming and cumbersome effort. People who are normally excellent at managing their work units are often not able to spend the time needed to conduct a backlog analysis. When time is not the issue, lack of experience usually is. Either way the result is evident in processing delays, poor staff morale, poor customer service, or rising operating expenses.

THE SOLUTION
LoBue works with our client to document the current backlog levels and variances. This is then analyzed to identify opportunities related to:

Volume of backlog
Sources of backlog
Verification of backlog
Incoming delivery methods
Volume growth assumptions
Peak and Valley analysis
Deadline analysis
Processing obstacles
Scheduling and shifts

Findings and recommendations detailing opportunities for a more effective processing model are documented for client assessment. Finally, LoBue works with our client to develop a redesigned processing model for the desired working environment.

THE RESULTS
LoBue delivers to the client a comprehensive "road map" of recommended changes to the current processing model that will significantly improve productivity, eliminate excessive backlogs, and reduce operating costs. Further, implementation is ensured through LoBue project management and assistance to the client management.
