Datacraft Solutions' Digital Kanban Featured in Industry 2.0
The current issue of Industry 2.0 includes a feature article by
contributing editor, Thomas R. Cutler about Digital Kanban.
Reducing lead times through detailed flow techniques is the
concept of a kanban system with a "push" manufacturing
environment. IT managers are asked to develop methods for
implementation of digital kanban systems, because a leaner
production method is not created by paper (or card) kanban
instructions that result in lost orders, duplicated orders, or
supplier confusion. Constant breakdowns in information flow are
a common problem in the manufacturing sector.
While there may be no obvious connection between Digital Kanban
and Linux, according to Justin Diana, CTO of Datacraft
Solutions, "Linux makes better economic sense to develop or run
a digital kanban solution versus Windows." According to Diana,
"There is a paradigm shift in the investment and development
community relative to "open source" technologies. The benefits
that come from a global base of developers have made many of the
open source technologies move to the forefront in many
application areas."
