Synchrono Aligns for Engineer to Order Profiled in Supply Chain 247

Logo

St. Paul, MN -- (SBWire) -- 12/14/2016 --For almost twenty years, Synchrono systems have helped discrete manufacturers, engineer-to-order (ETO) manufacturers, and others manage constraints, improve flow and drive on-time production. Synchrono was recently profiled in Supply Chain 247 magazine. Using a demand-driven manufacturing (DDM) approach, Synchrono SyncManufacturing software drives ETO manufacturing production based on actual demand rather than outdated forecasts. SyncManufacturing enables a synchronized, closed loop between customer orders, production scheduling and manufacturing execution – all while simultaneously coordinating the flow of materials and resources across the supply chain. The terms Pull-based manufacturing and Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing are also used within the context of DDM and the flow of materials.

Engineer-to-Order (ETO) product designers attempt to provide "mass customization" of unique, one-of-a-kind products better, faster, and cheaper than competitors. DDM methods and systems allow for many or all portions of the ETO process to be automated, providing quicker turnaround, lower engineering costs, and consistent adherence to product rules and standards. ETO, along with MTO (made-to-order), CTO (configure-to-order) and MTS (make-to-stock) environments can improve production flow and throughput (profitability) through synchronization (people, process, machines, materials and data) enabled using demand-driven manufacturing methodologies.

About Synchrono
Synchrono (http://www.synchrono.com) demand-driven manufacturing software synchronizes complex manufacturing environments in real-time, to drive business results. When integrated under the Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform, lean and demand-driven initiatives achieve new levels of excellence, transforming businesses by synchronizing people, processes, machines, materials, and data to drive production flow from order inception to delivery.

The award winning Synchrono Demand-Driven Manufacturing Platform offers five system components, including a planning, scheduling, and production management system and ekanban software for real-time inventory replenishment and supply chain collaboration. The Synchrono Platform has a unique a data collection, historian, and automated workflow engine along with an application that generates automatic alerts, escalation and action plans to minimize disruptions. Perhaps most importantly, this technology platform also includes a real-time visual factory information system. Everyone at every level of a manufacturing organization has access to one version of the truth with a dynamic view of what is happening at every stage of the manufacturing process; from order inception through production and delivery.

Synchrono systems allow for the simultaneous exchange of data across systems and resources, the ability to respond to constraints and changes in demand as they occur, and to predict, pre-empt, and prioritize issues. The Platform components may be implemented independently or collectively to enable the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), providing an unprecedented foundation for communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
