Synchrono, a leader in modern demand-driven manufacturing software, released its 2017 Top Ten Trends in Modern Demand-Driven Manufacturing. The list is based on interactions with hundreds of manufacturers and industry experts addressing challenges, innovation, and technologies associated with manufacturing digitization, visibility, and synchronization.<\/p>\n
Synchrono sees automating manual processes as 2017 Top Trend in Modern Demand-Driven Manufacturing. While the digitization of manufacturing automates the arduous task of data collection, aggregation and sharing across machines and systems, there are still a surprising number of manufacturers using spreadsheets for production scheduling and manual Kanban cards for inventory replenishment. Modern Demand-Driven Manufacturers automate these manual activities and earn a quick return on their technology investment.<\/p>\n
A manual Kanban system is generally manageable up to 200 SKUs. Organizations still, however, need to contend with lost cards, human error and non-stop communications with suppliers. Modern Demand Driven Manufacturers adopt eKanban (electronic Kanban) systems that automate the entire replenishment process based on real-time demand signals. While these systems typically pay for themselves just in right-sizing inventory alone (one client saved $985,000 in the first year), they also tend to reduce lead times, carrying costs, and increase inventory turns.<\/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.
