Read a published Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) article written by Robert Krause about Lean ERP Software which details the Lean principle design concepts for our software.

As per our Mission Statement, the Lean Manufacturing System is designed to streamline all transactions, provide ease of navigation, reduced number of clicks with a fast implementation.

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.

Purchasing Professionals
For the Purchasing Professional we offer you that all basic materials are constantly replenished through Kanban Control. Your task is simplified to focus on those unique components that will drive the delivery date to the customer. Your day-to-day task for managing commonly used material is eliminated, which statically represents 80% of your daily activities. Imagine how effective you will be when you can devote 100% of your time to those critical components.

When inventory turns increase so will the purchasing frequency. Our system automates Kanban replenishment orders with a Paperless Replenishment system which allows your department to absorb the additional transactions using your existing staff.

Inventory Management
For the Inventory Management Professional we offer Point-Of-Use inventory for standard items of which are all replenished through our paperless bar coded Kanban Replenishment System.

You will have a two bin Kanban system which will signal you for a reorder when replenishment is required. A simple scan with a portable Bar Code reader will electronically transmit a replenishment order to a vendor or create a work order (Pull System) to build to stock.

Your only concern is to track critical items that are specific to a customer requirement or items with such a high dollar value that warrants your control, which statically represents 20% of your daily activities. Imagine how effective you will be when you can devote 100% of your time to those critical components.

Sales Professionals
Can you imagine that the entire organization behind you is ready to respond to your customers requirements because everything that they need to produce your customers’ product is available to them? You are empowered to deliver what your customer needs and when he wants it based on standard lead-times. Be cautious to relay to your client that the long lead-time element is your only constraint for a delivery date.

Engineering Project Tools
For the Engineering Professional, you have control of the design, Bill-Of-Materials (BOM), and the applicable revisions. We also offer you configuration control. With our product you can comply to ISO standards, GMP Standards, as well as Military Standards. You know what was delivered and to what configuration.

With Contingent Event Alerts (CEA), Project Engineers can tract critical projects using our internal communication feature. While CEA closes the communication gaps between Sales, Purchasing and Production, it also tracks Engineering Projects through the development cycle. This advanced communication and tracking support assures your On Time Delivery (OTD) for Build to Order Products.

Features for the Lean Champion
Wireless 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.

Plan For Every Part - Our system has an PFEP built in for each part.  If it is an internally supplied item, a make item, the BOM associated with that part and Job Order will be supplied to production to replenish that part.  If the part is a purchased item, our system knows the external supplier and will initiate a replenish order to that supplier in the predetermined quantity.

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.

POUI – the system knows the dynamic Point-Of-Use-Inventory (POUI) 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.

Quality Professionals
For the Quality Professional our system will support ISO, MIL-STD, GMP, FAA and FDA requirements because we are revision and lot controlled. Procurement or manufacturing is driven by revision and/or lot control. Granted the exact procedures which govern your facility is driven outside of our Lean Manufacturing System, but the controls to manage procurement and manufacturing with revision and lot control is easily within QA’s control. We even offer for each item procured an attachment to that item. This can be the design, QA, or Income Receiving Specifications for that item. We offer a picture, document or specification attachment for that item to be viewed by vendor, incoming inspection or manufacturing to assure compliance to the above specifications.
