Going with the flow

Article Abstract:

Demand Flow Technology (DFT) is important for the Hyster Europe group, which makes forklift trucks. DFT has brought benefits for Hyster Europe and its customers. Logistics and improving supply chain management (SCM) are important for a company that wants to reduce costs and improve services to the level that is needed in the demanding 1997 marketplace. Balancing goals of cost reduction and enhanced customer service can be challenging. Using SCM as a competitive weapon can be too. In Europe, manufacturing is being rationalized.
