Demand Flow Technology /DTF/ is a modern method for industrial engineering assisting the industrial companies in the management of economic processes and improving their competitive power. This method used by leading Multinational Corporations (MNCs) and industrial companies with high degree of economic process intensity (business process), furthers the production of what the market requires at the moment, the reduction of unfinished production by improving the management of the material supplies and part-finished goods and the reduction of the expenditures for high quality maintenance of the manufactured goods. DTF is applied in a limited number of industrial companies in the Balkan countries.
On one hand, the possibility for applying DTF under the conditions of the industrial companies in the Balkan countries is analyzed in the article and the enhancing their competitive power on the global market. On the other hand, the specific features of this application are studied and concrete recommendations are made, the implementation of which increase the effectiveness in the current conditions.
MOGUĆNOSTI UNAPREDJENJA KONKURENTSKE SNAGE INDUSTRIJSKIH KOMPANIJA BALKANSKIH ZEMALJA PRIMENOM TEHNOLOGIJA TOKOVA TRAŽNJE
DFT (Demand Flow Technology) je moderna metoda industrijskog inženjeringa koja pomaže proizvodnim kompanijama da efikasnije upravljaju ekonomskim procesima i da unapredjuju svoju konkurentnost kako na nacionalnom tako i na globalnom tržištu. Implementacijom DFT metode u balkanskom poslovnom okruženju industrijske kompanije mogu razviti proizvodnu strukturu koja će im omogućiti: poboljšanje proizvodnje, smanjenje internih i intercikličnih prekida, povećanje produktivnosti rada, minimiziranje nedovršene proizvodnje i poboljšanje likvidnosti. Takodje, primena DFT metode podstiče smanjenje troškova unapredjenja kvaliteta, povećava fleksibilnost procesa proizvodnje i omogućava isporuku porudžbina potrošačima u vreme kada oni to žele. Medjutim, sve ovo ne zavisi samo od implementacije DFT metode već i od raspoloživosti i selekcije dobavljača koji mogu efikasno da odgovore na zahteve potrošača za JIT isporukama. Upravo je to jedan od važnih problema u poslovnoj konjukturi balkanskih zemalja.
