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.
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:
Advanced Planning and Scheduling Software
Automate production planning and scheduling and generate reliable schedules with software that leverages your existing systems with real-time connectivity. Drive flow with clear and synchronized priorities and maximize global throughput.
Escalation Management and Notification Software
Instantly notify team members when disruptions occur. Design communication workflows, escalation paths, contact lists, and action plans to ensure quick resolution and accountability.
Real-Time Manufacturing Analytics Software
Visualize manufacturing performance from any available data source to encourage collaboration across siloed departments. Customize dashboards and displays to focus on the metrics that matter to you. Enable the visual factory for your operations.
Replenishment Management Software
Automate execution and management of Kloops and respond instantly to changes in demand. Reduce manual entry errors and shorten your lead times by up to 30%.
