John Costanza is the creator of Demand Flow Technology (DFT), the foundation for the company-wide business strategy, which allows manufacturers to adjust product volume and mix every day in accordance with the direction of actual sales. DFT creates a competitive company that continuously produces in the direction of customer demand without building or carrying unnecessary working capital. The powerful pull process and high inventory turnover also allows Engineering to quickly make product improvements and introduce new products. The design process and documentation are simpler with minimal exposure to expensive excess and obsolete products and inventory. This allows companies to bring new products to market ahead of the competition, as well as meeting customer demands and shareholder commitments. DFT will strategically maximize manufacturing and financial assets.
