By: Apriso Corporation In the world of Lean manufacturing (http://www.apriso.com/ “Apriso’s new Smart Pull solution really challenges the concept of JIT as defined by Lean methodology,” Manufacturers deploying MPI now have access to greater real-time visibility than ever before. When FlexNet’s enterprise approach to manufacturing operations management is deployed, real-time operations intelligence can be seamlessly included within a Pull process. The new Smart-Pull Manufacturing solution not only has built-in integration capabilities with sensing devices, but also has the capability to store, filter, analyze and contextualize these events in almost real-time – resulting in dynamic triggering and execution of business processes across the product supply network and value chain. The FlexNet-based Smart-Pull Manufacturing solution offers a unique combination of software, services and industry knowledge that can help manufacturers to achieve unprecedented levels of operational performance and responsiveness. This solution supports and enables each of the following: n Management of Pull processes such as Production Kanban, Supplier Kanban, Replenishment Kanban, Signal Kanban, Just-In-Sequence (JIS) ship, JIS make, JIS buy, among others n Execution of advanced Pull scenarios such as CONWIP, generalized Kanban, dynamic Drum-Buffer- n Synchronization of not only in-house Pull processes, but also those with customers, suppliers and sub-contractors (ex: multi-vendor containment triggered by Quality alerts or reallocation of manufacturing resources during the event of unplanned downtime or demand changes) n Eases facilitation of change management, including Pull process design as well as on-going process management support such as formulating measurements (KPIs, Takt time, supermarket readiness) n Incorporation of real-time manufacturing intelligence to quickly extract actionable insights from manufacturing supply chain events to drive execution of intelligent Pull processes with both structured (ex: Kanban loop) and unstructured (ex: collaboration flow through enterprise social media) information to accelerate response times and improve decision-support About Apriso Corporation Apriso is a software company dedicated to helping its customers transform their global manufacturing operations.
