The 2017 Top Ten Trends for Modern Demand-Driven Manufacturing is based on interactions with hundreds of manufacturers and industry experts – addressing challenges, supporting innovation and introducing technologies. The constant, key themes that rise to the top are digitization, synchronization and visibility.
The 2017 Top Ten Trends report provides descriptions and real-world examples of each trend. Download the report here:
Demand-Driven Manufacturing combines the best of Lean Manufacturing, Theory of Constraints and Six Sigma principles. Find out why more and more manufacturers are turning to the proven methods of Demand-Driven Manufacturing to synchronize their operations, improve flow and gain a competitive edge. Download this resource brief on Demand-Driven Manufacturing to learn more.
Imagine a fully connected manufacturing environment where data from machines, tools, applications and software systems merge to intelligently deliver instant insight helping you to drive performance metrics, innovation, OEE, quality, continuous improvement initiatives and more. This resource explores how a connected environment can have transformational value and solutions that can help you enable the IIoT today.
The two key elements of Demand-Driven Manufacturing are synchronization and flow. That is, the ability to synchronize production activities in order to drive flow. And while Synchrono® synchronizes (as the name implies) all layers of manufacturing operations and the extended supply chain, this article addresses the company’s patented scheduling methodology for driving flow: CONLOAD™.
This case study reviews the strategy and results of a new Lean project at the Aerospace Structures Division (ASD) of Orbital ATK. The goal of the project was to impact two key inventory metrics – improve inventory turns and reduce inventory cost; specifically, waste associated with material scrap.
Download the case study to learn why this project was awarded one of the top 100 supply chain projects by Supply & Demand Chain Executive.
After acquiring more complex equipment and expanding its product line, Pyrotek – a global engineering leader and innovator of performance-improving technical solutions and services for the aluminum industry – experienced tremendous growth. Growth that was compounded by the fact that as an engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturer of capital equipment, every project they build is unique.
Read the case study to learn how SyncManufacturing® software helped them to be more compliant and disciplined. As a result, they are operating better as an organization.
