Ultriva, the leader in collaborative supply chain solutions, is advocating that global multi-national manufacturers use supplier replenishment as the ultimate tool in lean manufacturing best-practices. Designed to help manufacturers digitally manage all forms of material replenishment with suppliers, leading Electronic kanban capabilities must allow both manufacturers and suppliers a single internet portal where they can view forecasts and kanban signals, release purchase orders, track orders, and manage receipts.

Multi-national management organizations usually turn to improved best-practice technology solutions when one of two circumstances occurs: rapid growth requiring improved throughput capacity or serious quality-control issues. Both these challenges produce lower customer satisfaction if the correct products are not received in a timely, safe, and accurate manner. Ultriva’s founder and CEO, Narayan Laksham discussed in the current company blog how many organizations fail to execute a best-practice solution beyond Proof of Concept at a single plant or site.

Da-Les Auto Body, a full service repair facility located in Sunnyvale, Calif., is currently celebrating its 36th anniversary of being in business.

Narayan Laksham, Ultriva founder and CEO commented, “Keeping production lines optimally stocked with necessary parts and components - when they are needed and in the right quantity is essential. As a product is consumed in the production process, an order for depleted inventory must be placed immediately through an electronic cloud-based kanban system. Consumption-driven replenishment proves its applicability across tiers of distribution and supplier networks and has become the compelling alternative to more traditional Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or “push” style systems, which rely on forecasts to determine what and how much to produce.”

Ultriva, the leader in collaborative supply chain solutions, is quickly becoming the enterprise-wide solution for many multi-national corporations. The Ultriva cloud-based software further accelerates productivity and performance for global manufacturing firms. The unique value proposition of Ultriva includes an Inventory Optimization Tool to improve operational and financial performance of supply chains and a Collaborative Planning module that combines historical consumption and replenishment data with forward-looking demand data to calculate future inventory positions.

A successful manufacturer of fuel pumps and controls for aerospace recently chose Ultriva as their solution to integrate CSP (Collaborative Supply Portal). There will be over 5500 items and 740 suppliers on the Ultriva program. They will gradually be phasing in suppliers using the system to accept and ship orders.

The IM system program by Kenster is strong, efficient and effective. It provides a number of things for its users like one-on-one communication ability with all enrollees on the Ken system. Other perks include combined medium training and the millionaire mindset. If the system is purchased through the affiliate partners, there is a bonus that the sellers are offering there which is sure to benefit all buyers.

Ultriva is continuing expansion with deployment for global manufacturers of aerospace components. The manufacturer is starting Collaborative Supplier Portal (CSP) implementation in two of their European plants. The two plants will use CSP to communicate and collaborate within the company’s four walls and then bring on external suppliers (outside the four walls). Butch Dority, Application Manager at Ultriva, Inc., noted, “Getting IT on board early has been a proven success factor at other large manufacturing plants, so Ultriva plans to continue with that strategy. Pushparaj Shanmugam, Director of Engineering for Ultriva, and his team has done a great job. The integration work with customer IT has been consistently the smoothest part of every implementation. Our customer’s IT people are constantly impressed by the ease with which we are able to integrate with disparate ERP systems, the agility of our team to react quickly and accurately to challenges and unique requests; they are also impressed with our detailed and sensible level of documentation for each of our interfaces.”

Once a technology solution has been tested and vetted by a multi-national, multi-plant operation, it is rolled out enterprise-wide. There are many reasons why this approach into solutions, with obvious bottom-line improvements, takes time. Ultriva CEO Narayan Laksham noted in the current company blog, “Manufacturing champions, who are often operations managers, or plant managers at a single location, have budget caps. This often results in a single location plant performing a “proof of concept” (POC) experiment to test the efficacy of a solution. Even in the world of low-cost, rapid implementation, SaaS (software as a service) cloud-based technologies, large multi-nationals often lack the agility to quickly extrapolate a good idea across the enterprise.”

A successful aerospace manufacturing company, engaged in the defense and commercial aerospace markets, was seeking a best-of-breed commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software solution. The company needed to support a well-defined set of business and technology requirements forming the foundation of their Supplier Management System (SMS).

Ultriva customers are either now on Ultriva 7.6 version or in the process of migrating to the new version. The unique approach allows Ultriva customers to upgrade to the newer version at their own pace because customers need to do a few rounds of testing to make sure their integration with their on-site ERP system is working as expected. There is a blog describing this process at: http://web.ultriva.com/ultriva-blog/bid/100037/An-extremely-Busy-Year-for-Ultriva-Engineering. Ultriva 7.6 Ultriva delivered various updates to the End to End pull software product at the end of 2013. Pushparaj Shanmugam, Director of Engineering for Ultriva, discussed the enhanced features to the software based on customer inputs in the company’s current blog. Shanmugam explained, “We delivered Ultriva 7.6 recently and this version alone had about 15 new or enhanced features. Almost all of these 15 features grew out of our customer feedback. We take our customer input seriously and quickly incorporate their ideas and requests through our agile product development approach. In comparison, such releases are uncommon in traditional onsite software products.” Shanmugam noted that the engineering team added so many new integration points to the Oracle Connector that it can be "plug-n-play" with the Oracle ERP system. A recent customer upgrade added a new plant to their deployment without any glitches. The customer has been integrated with their Oracle ERP 12.x and they are using the ‘out of the box’ Oracle connector. Shanmugam commented, “Our customer sent a thank you email to our support that read, ‘Please advise the Ultriva engineers that it all worked right out of the box!’” Ultriva’s (www.ultriva.com) cloud-based platform leverages and seamlessly integrates with leading ERP and MRP systems, to deliver an end to end pull based replenishment model. Ultriva, based in Cupertino, CA, implemented a global demand driven manufacturing model by providing full visibility, scheduling, and sequencing of production of customer orders. The need for a collaborative transactional portal is essential and E2E (End to End) Pull allows large multi-national manufacturers to actively collaborate with customers for actual demand and synchronize with suppliers for replenishment. E2E Pull offers a better solution to balancing supply with customer demand through procurement strategies, materials and inventory policies tied to actual demand signals. Many suppliers want to provide sufficient service levels to customers and turn supply replenishment and synchronization into a competitive advantage. The company’s global footprint is increasing rapidly with implementations in wide variety of industry sectors and enterprises such as ATK, CareFusion, Emerson, Ingersoll Rand, McKesson, Magellan, Regal Beloit, Thermo Fisher and more.
