Cincom Brings Lean Manufacturing to National Manufacturing Week

Sydney, Australia, 10 May 2010 The manufacturing world is evolving, and businesses need technology solutions that are flexible and robust enough to respond to the changing environment. Cincom is introducing a completely new type of solution that directly contributes to the success of those companies that need to incorporate Lean into their Operation Management. As more and more people understand that Lean is not a formula for cost-cutting or corporate survival, but rather a strategy to encourage growth and expansion, the role of Lean becomes more important to the enterprise.

The supply chain has developed into a web of many interrelated firms spread around the world. These firms are all set to produce product in an intricately timed dance that feeds the downstream production process at precisely the right time and in the exact, right quantities ultimately ending with finished goods in customers’ hands. Expecting your traditional ERP vendor to spread its reach from your shop up and down your supply chain is not a realistic solution. To fill this void of expertise and functionality, a new breed of company, Lean specialists, has evolved.

Last month, Cincom Systems announced a marketing agreement with Ultriva, a provider of Lean Execution tools with decades of experience in the area of supply-chain synchronisation of complex processes. This is great news for all participants in Supply Chain Management. The Ultriva Lean Execution Suite provides an array of functionality that extends from the supply end into the factory and right out to the customer – whether an end-user or an OEM. This level of functionality is now available as part of Cincom’s suite of manufacturing solutions.

Want to know more about the benefits of Lean Manufacturing? Contact Cincom to learn more about the Lean Assessment Tool. This useful utility allows prospective users to calculate potential savings using various Lean parameters – in effect, a risk-free trial based on real-life data. This is clearly a win/win for current users of the Cincom CONTROL™ ERP and for any company looking to enhance its operation through the application of Lean techniques.
