Demand Driven Product Planning and Scheduling Leader Synchrono Profiled in Leading Automation Publication

John Maher, Vice President of Product Strategy at Synchrono and manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, recently discussed the impact of real world results when demand-driven production planning and scheduling is synchronized in a feature published in Automation.com magazine.

Demand-driven manufacturers succeed when they use technology to gain capacity and solve customers’ most pressing business issues. The convergence of manufacturing and technology is defined as the demand driven factory of the future.

With clear objectives monitored by KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) everyone from managers to shop floor personnel becomes empowered to improve both individual performance, as well as the entire plant operation. After gaining real-time visibility into what is actually happening out on the floor and the extended supply chain, the known real world metrics lead to improving actionable behavior. In many cases compensation also becomes tied to these objectives.

About Synchrono

Synchrono (www.synchrono.com) demand-driven manufacturing software synchronizes complex manufacturing environments in real-time, to drive business results.

For almost twenty years, Synchrono systems has helped discrete manufacturers, engineer-to-order manufacturers, and others manage constraints, improve flow and drive on-time production.

When integrated under the Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform, lean and demand-driven initiatives are taken to new levels of excellence, transforming businesses by synchronizing people, processes, machines, materials, and data to drive production flow from order inception to delivery.

The award winning Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform includes five system components, including a planning, scheduling, and production management system and ekanban software for real-time inventory replenishment and supply chain collaboration. The Synchrono Platform has a unique a data collection, historian, and automated workflow engine along with an application that generates automatic alerts, escalation and action plans to minimize disruptions. Perhaps most importantly, this technology provides a real-time visual factory information system.   Everyone at every level of a manufacturing organization has access to one version of the truth with a dynamic view of what is happening at every stage of the manufacturing process; from order inception through production and delivery.

The Platform components may be implemented independently or collectively to enable the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and an unprecedented foundation for communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement. The value proposition of Synchrono allows for the simultaneous exchange of data across systems and resources, the ability to respond to constraints and changes in demand as they occur, and to predict, pre-empt, and prioritize issues.
