Corporate Professionals
For the Corporate Professional we offer a reduction of perpetual inventory, increased inventory turns, net throughput profits, staff satisfaction, an increase on On-Time-Delivery (OTD) to your customers, and a competitive edge over your competitors either here or abroad.

A sample company has obtained 86% reduction of on-hand inventory, 20 inventory turns, and a perpetual inventory of 1% of annual sales.

What is the dollar amount of 86% of your inventory? This would represent the amount of freed up working capital available to your organization. When you obtain 20 turns of your inventory, your company can quickly convert inventory into sales. With minimal inventory additional savings are obtained through reducing risk of Obsolescence, expiring of date sensitive material and reduction of carrying costs. Please view ROI for details of a model Lean company.

An additional benefit to your organization is that our software is designed to efficiently absorb the additional workload induced by increased transactions from increased inventory turns and inventory reduction. With our Lean Manufacturing Software, your Purchasing, Receiving and Accounts Payable departments can absorb the additional work load through our Office Lean design. Your company can flourish with a successful Lean campaign using our Lean Manufacturing System.

Planning Professionals
For the Planning Professional we offer you confidence that all the basic materials that you need are available for your build; you only need to focus on special non-standard materials that warrant your attention, which statically are only a few items. Your job is simplified to only the non-standard items, which are identified for planning purposes with delivery dates. You have a greater chance to meet your customer demands when your efforts are focused on only critical items.

Imagine how effective you will be when you can devote 100% of your time to those critical components.

Features for the Lean Champion
Paperless Procurement System – our system will reorder Kanban Controlled Material with just a scan of the products' Part Number without paper or the Buyers involvement. Our system knows who to procure it from and for what cost. The cost is automatically provided when a Consolidated Vendor Agreement is established, see below.

Kanban Bins – our system controls dynamic Front Bin and Back Bin quantity Control. These bins and the inventory status are reportable globally to the organization.

POU – the system knows the dynamic Point-Of-Use (POU) locations of inventory and informs the Receiving Professional what Point Of Use locations to refill Kanban Inventory as it is delivered. It will provide the information to distribute the appropriate amounts to the Kanban Front and Back bins.

Consolidated Vendor Agreement – the system knows which items have agreed prices based on Consolidated Vendor Agreements (CVA) and with established re-order quantities.

Kanban Signals (Replenishment) – The system recognizes two types of Kanban initiated replenishment methods:

1) External to the company - The instant the Kanban reorder signal is identified, an electronic Purchase Order is generated and sent to the vendor via FAX or Email.

2) Internal to the company - The instant the Kanban reorder signal is identified, a Built-To-Stock Work Order (or Pull Signal) is created which is perfect for Stock Sub-Assemblies controlled by Kanban.

Back Flushing – Inventory can be Back Flushed to relive inventory of raw material and add to inventory finished goods or stocked sub assemblies. This feature maintains perpetual inventory accuracy.

Lean Purchasing – A paperless procurement system to instantly convert a Kanban reorder signal into an electronic Purchase Order. Typically 80% of your purchases will be Kanban Controlled items and with the increase of purchasing frequency from increased inventory turns, the purchasing department can maintain the additional work load without any impact.

Lean Invoicing – With increased inventory turns, there will be an increase of vendor invoices. We offer a fast and efficient method to manage and reconcile vendor invoices.

Lean Receiving– An efficient Bar Coded process to receive Kanban replenishments with POU put-away and Front Bin and Back Bin replenishment quantities.
