Manufacturing Journalist Tr Cutler Profiles Datacraft Solutions” Digital Kanban for Lean Manufacturing and Distribution

“In addition to a strong demand-driven supply chain, including digital Kanban, a successful lean environment must also include a robust enterprise resource planning system to pull the entire corporation into the lean revolution,” said Stephen Parker, Chairman of Datacraft Solutions.
According to manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler in the current issue of Manufacturing.net, “Software systems must still address manufacturing functionality and should contain functions such as: advanced planning, constraint management and capacity analysis; Just-in-Time manufacturing; feature-based assembly and mixed-mode manufacturing; machine downtime tracking; multi-level bill of materials and routings; engineering levels and approvals; RF-enabled production recording and putaway; and lean manufacturing, material flow and production. For those manufacturers who are not heavily outsourcing the production functions, the ability for software solutions to address lean initiatives is vital.”
Once implemented, the benefits of lean manufacturing quickly are quantifiable. Although many believe the benefits can be obtained via a simple Kanban system, revolutionary thinkers know a true lean environment stretches well past the plant floor and migrates through the entire enterprise.
And as manufacturers take on the role of distributors, software solutions must address distribution functionality as well. Some of these distribution functions include: centralized and local purchasing; complete CRM (customer relationship management) with online quoting; order release management; full WMS (warehouse management systems); license plate tracking; bar code labeling, shipment verification and label error-proofing; Just-in-Time deliveries and sequenced shipping; containerization; and EDI transactions (electronic data interface)
