INDUCTEE:
Brian McCahill YEAR:
2006
CATEGORY:
Optimization |
Brian McCahill built an optimization Excel model the Danaher
Corporation used to create a manufacturing strategy for a new $100MM
OEM program. The model helped the firm select from among four
facilities around the world the one best suited for the production
of motors for an industrial equipment manufacturer. The model
considered cost and investment stemming from: supply chain and
customer delivery logistics, inventory, import taxes, equipment and
tooling, labor, and overhead.
 In the words of Dave Banyard ’04: "Brian was given a broad problem
and no standard work to guide him. He was able to quickly assess the
key drivers of the problem and build a strong analysis to support
his recommendations. He created a flexible model to build a
manufacturing strategy for the Industrial equipment manufacturer
project and quantified risks where applicable. The model allows for
future use on other projects with laser insight on location and
supply chain structure."
