About Synchrono

Synchrono® has been revolutionizing the manufacturing software landscape since its incorporation in 2000. Created by manufacturers for manufacturers, the company was built to address a major gap in the market—developing systems that support the growing adoption of pull-based, demand-driven manufacturing methods.

Demand-Driven Manufacturing

Demand-Driven Manufacturing is known as a method where production is based on actual customer demand (or order). As such, it adapts to variations in demand and drives out cost and waste associated with excess inventory and long lead times, while increasing capacity and on-time delivery rates. Synchrono® takes this further, defining Demand-Driven Manufacturing as a method that incorporates the best of Lean Manufacturing, Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Six Sigma principles to provide a synchronized, closed loop between customer orders, production scheduling and manufacturing execution – all while synchronizing the flow of materials and resources across the supply chain.

Introducing Unique, Proprietary Technology

The flagship offering, SyncManufacturing software, was the first system to synchronize planning, scheduling, and production, improving workflow and enabling a closed-loop process. Known as a pull-based or responsive planning system, SyncManufacturing uses a patented methodology, CONLOAD™, to stand out in the market. CONLOAD™ (consistent load) helps manufacturers manage system constraints, reducing congestion and improving production flow by releasing work based on system capacity.

SyncManufacturing has produced results for a diverse set of clients by leveraging CONLOAD™ and other key capabilities within the software. Gartner research recognized Synchrono® as a Cool Vendor based on the unique value offered by SyncManufacturing software.

Delivering the Factory of the Future

Following the release of SyncManufacturing, Synchrono introduced a series of value-added solutions for Demand-Driven Manufacturers. In 2014, the company introduced the Synchrono® Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform. The components of the Platform may be implemented independently to provide outstanding results. And when installed collectively, these systems connect the entire manufacturing operation and extended supply chain in real-time, generating intelligence for instant decision-making and providing an unprecedented foundation for communication, collaboration and continuous improvement.

Achieving Industry Recognition

In 2015, Synchrono® received the Technology Partner Award from the Frost & Sullivan Manufacturing Leadership Council based on the operational excellence achieved through the Synchrono® Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform. The software systems that make up the Platform include:
