Ultriva End to End Pull Solutions Turns to Global Adoption with Proof of Concept

 

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/26/2014 -- 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 company blog how many organizations fail to execute a best-practice solution beyond Proof of Concept at a single plant or site.

Ultriva manufacturing customers have proven that adopting E2E methodologies leads to many benefits:
- Optimized inventories at FG, Work in Progress (WIP) and Raw Materials
- Improved service levels to customers resulting in increased customer retention
- Dramatic reduction in production disruptions (less changes and more part availability)
- Superior supplier performance due to reduction in the “bull whip” effect

Laksham explained how Ultriva has been helping customers to set these pull process for the last decade. The underlying methodology used to set up the pull process is “collaborative Kanban.” By engaging with the customers (Original Equipment Manufacturers, Distribution centers, retail channels, or end customers) manufacturers can gain better control over their downstream demand. They can quickly sense the changes in demand and adjust their production schedules to minimize redundant Finished Goods (FG) inventory.
