Lean Manufacturing

Improve productivity and efficiency and minimize costs.

New supply chain book tells the story of lean transformation and importance of building inclusive teams

Unique global events and related supply issues are spurring change in manufacturing. What was once a laser focus on the just-in-time paradigm is now tempered by a level of just-in-case planning, pressuring material handling operations to support evolving methods of doing business.

Inventory is not necessarily good or bad. It depends.

Adoption of Kanban processes has reduced inventory and improved customer satisfaction.

This paper explores the major challenges that the construction businesses have been facing since 2004 in Afghanistan.

A new paper from Synchrono®, the leader in modern demand-driven manufacturing software and synchronization technologies, explains how bottlenecks and constraints are different – and should be addressed differently.

In this paper, we’ll define what we mean by both production bottlenecks and constraints, look at their similarities and differences, and recommend strategies for dealing with each.

At the heart of Lean Manufacturing is one very simple principle: remove as much waste as possible from your processes.

In this paper, we’ll discuss how SyncKanban eKanban software from Synchrono can help you address all eight forms of waste to help you reach your lean goals this year.

Every year, manufacturers lose profits when they scrap materials and finished goods because of damage or obsolescence. In fact, the cost of scrap is far more than the cost of the material itself.

Manufacturers looking to gain control over their inventory through Lean principles are turning toward eKanban (electronic Kanban) software solutions that can effectively plug into their current systems and environment.

eKanban is a relatively easy way to get started on a Lean transformation – and provides dramatic returns.

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.

Lean manufacturers continue to address throughput issues by automating systems and creating better processes to eliminate waste in all of its forms.
