Evidence from existing Demand-Driven Manufacturing (DDM) environments supports the evolution to this customer, and order-centric method of manufacturing.

John Maher, Vice President of Product Strategy at Synchrono, Inc. and 2017 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know winner, recently authored an article published in Efficient Manufacturing magazine titled, "Synchronizing Production Processes: Creating Demand Driven Factory of the Future." In these manufacturing environments, production planning, scheduling, and execution processes are fully synchronized to the customer's desired delivery date. The synchronized factory is able to quickly adapt to changes in demand and visualize real-time status and order information. Key performance indicators including on-time delivery, inventory turns, increased capacity, and more are positively impacted.

ERP systems are great for their intended purpose of managing and processing structured transactions. Manufacturing modules in ERP systems, however, do not have the flexibility to manage the real-time variability inherent in most manufacturing environments or the capabilities to support end-to-end production planning, scheduling and execution and associated visibility needs. Therefore, manufacturers who bought into the promise of holistic ERP solutions are forced to return to planning and scheduling using archaic spreadsheets. To address the market need for end-to-end supply chain visibility and collaboration, manufacturers need a solution that will connect to many data sources, such as logistics, supply chain management, lean production, inventory/warehouses, distribution, and transportation.
