This latest post on the Demand-Driven Matters blog outlines several distinctions between process and discrete manufacturing methods. Process manufacturing uses formulations versus Bills of Materials (BOMs) and assembles along a routing used by discrete manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Discrete manufacturers are typically ETO (engineer-to-order), which includes make-to-stock (MTS), make-to-order (MTO), and assemble-to-order (ATO) production facilities.  Because each product manufactured is unique, often requiring on-going modifications and engineering during the manufacturing process, there is a strong requirement for synchronized production planning, scheduling and execution.  Without this alignment and real-time tracking of activity and status, operations may degrade and erode profitability.<\/p>\n

Process manufacturers blend a batch – often a literal recipe as found in food and beverage manufacturing. Process manufacturers build something that cannot be taken apart; once the cake batter ingredients have been mixed, the ingredients cannot be removed from the finished goods produced. This makes process manufacturers formula-focused. Discrete manufacturers make finished goods that have components that can be taken apart and used in another capacity. Discrete manufacturing can be reversed, while process manufacturing is irreversible.<\/p>\n

About Synchrono<\/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
