Demand-Driven Manufacturing

This white paper explores the ways manufacturing has changed, from the goals of manufacturers to the systems they rely on, discover how the software market is addressing the changing manufacturing sector.

Modern Demand-Driven Manufacturers are today’s truly Lean thinkers and are continuously improving their operations to create more opportunities for innovation, a recent report by Synchrono addresses challenges, innovation and technologies associated with manufacturing digitization, visibility and synchronization for 2017.

Lean Manufacturing, allows a manufacturer can accurately and effectively calculate the optimal level of inventory needed to fulfill demand requirements through the duration of replenishment lead time.

Demand-driven manufacturing (DDM) is an approach to manufacturing where production is based on actual demand rather than forecasts.

A flight path to reduce costs, enable growth and provide a path for scalable continuous improvement.

If you run reports on yesterday’s manually collected data, then you will only have information about yesterday.

Here we are at the final installment of our four-part, Sandpaper blog series about when to use the tools of Lean Manufacturing, the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Six Sigma to address constraints, drive flow and promote continuous improvement.

What Tools to Use to Get the Most of Your Demand-Driven Changes.

Manufacturers use constraints management first to gain the most demand-driven change.

Demand-driven manufacturing leaders are always refining their tools and tactics to ensure they’re spending their time wisely.

"Relentless" leadership and team empowerment drive lean change.

Metrics manufacturers should focus on to drive change and continuous improvement.
