Digital Kanban from Datacraft Solutions' Signum Creates
Intelligent Supply Chain
Ken McGuire from MEAC noted, ""Why would any true LEAN
Manufacturer invest big money in software for managing Kanbans
when what they really need is an effective Kanban communications
service? The evidence is mounting against the 'elusive' systems
with ERP integration many IT people are promising and hoping
for. When they are finally achieved, if ever, they are found to
be largely unnecessary and wasteful administrative boondoggles.
Forrester Research found that only 41% of business executives at
large manufacturing and distribution companies have realized any
perceptible ROI from implementing Supply Chain Systems."
The Datacraft Solutions' digital kanban product, Signum,
received raves from Jim Malch, Director of Operations, Pacific
Scientific, EKD: "Pacific Scientific Electro-Kinetics is excited
over the short-term results achieved with Signum in just 4
months. PS/EKD has forecasted a minimum of 20% increase in
inventory turns by year-end, and we've seen a reduction in the
transactional processes that were necessary in the FAX Release
system Signum replaced."
A Materials Manager from a Tier 1 automotive supplier noted the
impact of Digital Kanban technology from Durham, NC based
Datacraft Solutions: "We scan over 5000 cards a day, have just
added 1500 parts from out tool crib, and have had zero part
shortages since going live 3 months ago. Our inventory has
reduced by approximately $2,000,000."
Signum is the Digital Kanban tool from Datacraft Solutions,
Inc. (www.datacraftsolutions.com). According to Founder Matthew
Marotta, "Datacraft Solutions' Internet-based on-demand delivery
platform offers key benefits from the very beginning of an
implementation - namely, the elimination of lengthy, complicated
and expensive infrastructure upgrades before a company can even
begin to see positive ROI. There is simply no faster or easier
way to begin exploiting the power of Digital Kanban in a lean
manufacturing operation."
