John Maher, Synchrono VP of Product Strategy recently discussed how continuous improvement is one of the key elements that drives manufacturing production flow on a new episode of the Demand-Driven Matters podcast. Listeners learn best practices for approaching and focusing manufacturers’ continuous improvement efforts.<\/p>\n
Continuous Improvement is the third installment in the series, The 5 Key Elements to Drive Flow<\/em> in which Maher reveals that the best people to address continuous improvement are those closest to the work; these people have the best insight into how to improve. The Continuous Improvement facilitators run the CI event and educate others on the tools needed for improvement.<\/p>\n In previous episodes in the series, Maher addressed: controlling the release (Pull) of work into production and synchronizing activities across the organization to drive flow. Upcoming episodes will address synchronizing the extended supply chain and aligning metrics.<\/p>\n Maher has more than 20 years’ experience working in manufacturing with expertise in ERP, MRP, APS, MES, supply chain, manufacturing planning and scheduling systems, and constraints management.<\/p>\n To listen to the complete podcast recording, go to: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2dYHyZB<\/a><\/p>\n About Synchrono<\/strong><\/p>\n Synchrono (www.synchrono.com<\/a>) demand-driven manufacturing software synchronizes complex manufacturing environments in real-time, to drive business results.<\/p>\n For almost twenty years, Synchrono systems have helped discrete manufacturers, engineer-to-order manufacturers, and others manage constraints, improve flow and drive on-time production.<\/p>\n When integrated under the Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform, lean and demand-driven initiatives achieve new levels of excellence, transforming businesses by synchronizing people, processes, machines, materials, and data to drive production flow from order inception to delivery.<\/p>\n The award winning Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform offers 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 platform also includes 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.<\/p>\n Synchrono systems allow 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. The Platform components may be implemented independently or collectively to enable the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), providing an unprecedented foundation for communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement. <\/p>\n Synchrono delivers a competitive edge.
