White Paper: Demand-Driven Manufacturing Metrics that Drive Action

Demand-Driven Manufacturing Metrics that Drive Action addresses the key elements of demand, or pull-based manufacturing: Managing constraints and synchronizing activities to improve production flow and, ultimately, throughput. In doing so, this white paper lays the foundation for the Demand-Driven Manufacturing Metrics for Action Guide– a resource that outlines the operational metrics that you can take action on to improve your operations and supply chain performance.

Kanban Series White Paper: Gaining Clarity: Drive Productivity, Flow and Profit with Data that Matters

Many of today’s discrete manufacturers are overcoming the challenges of legacy push-based systems by turning to pull-based eKanban software systems that focus on throughput and flow and result in a reduction in costs and inventory. This resource explores manufacturing Kanban systems from a management perspective, detailing the benefits of a more predictable environment with the decision-making power gained through deeper access to real time data and analytics.

Thought Leadership: 4 Ways SyncKanban^® eKanban Technology Drives Continuous Improvement

Every year, right-sizing inventory tops the list of strategic goals for many manufacturers. But right-sizing inventory is never a “once and done” initiative. Even in demand-driven manufacturing environments where replenishment is linked to demand, there is room for continuous improvement. This paper focuses on how you can use several features within SyncKanban^® eKanban Software to continuously improve inventory management in your organization.

Video:  A Day in the Life of a Work Center Operator

For many manufacturers, moving from a push-based manufacturing system to a pull-based approach is a big change that impacts not just inventory and equipment, but people.

In this short, campy video, we’ll look at how demand-driven manufacturing affects the life of a work-center operator. From this video, you’ll gain perspective on:

• Challenges to operators in push environments
• Helpful transition training topics
• Work center metrics that drive desired behavior
