MFRTech.com recently featured Ultriva’s solution for many manufacturers’ shipment scheduling dilemma. Scheduling activities by calendar, while dealing with internal or external commitments, is very important for Ultriva’s clients. Pushparaj Shanmugam, the Director of Engineering at Ultriva wrote on the company blog, “Typically, the schedule needs to pay attention to Business specific work days, work hours etc. Typical scheduling is in general interval based. Input time is adjusted by interval, and then the outcome is optionally adjusted by Business work days/ work hours. For example, if the lead time is five business days then when a purchase order is released, the delivery date is adjusted to five business days from purchase order creation date.” According to the article, “Shanmugam constantly sees new requests for Ultriva’s Supply Chain Management Software. Clients ask how is the best way to accommodate the business rules for shipments and scheduling. Shanmugam enjoys these requests because he can accommodate the customer without writing custom programs.”

Will Sobel, CEO and Founder of System Insights noted, “Most companies operate off of two data items, controller mode and execution. It tells you if the machine is running a program.

Will Sobel, CEO of System Insights, recently wrote about the importance of eco-friendly Green Supply Chain Management on the company’s website. Sobel explained, “Designing and implementing sustainable supply chains is gaining importance these days, as depleting natural resources and increasing climate change risks have emphasized the need for eco-friendly manufacturing practices. The process of integrating environmental drivers into Supply Chain Management (SCM) is called Green Supply Chain Management.” Green Supply Chain Management is motivated by diminishing raw materials, increased material waste and disposal, and increased environmental awareness among stake holders as well as being competitive among peers. Green Supply Chain Management focuses on identifying and minimizing the wastes generated in entire supply chain process. The waste reduction strategy could be long term or short term. The long term options are more strategic and the short term options are more tactical. vimana helps manufacturers become on the fast-track to becoming eco-friendly. Sobel noted, “System Insights developed vimana, the predictive analytics platform for manufacturing intelligence. System Insights delivers compelling value to manufacturing enterprises across multiple verticals around the world, by increasing asset utilization, reducing operational costs, and improving profitability. Enhancing manufacturing sustainability is one of the key values that vimana delivers. vimana provides visibility into manufacturing processes and process flows and helps identify and reduce waste in the value stream and supply chain.” To read the entire article, go to: http://www.manufacturingbigdata.com/blog/2013/08/20/green-supply-chains/.
