(PRWEB) September 6, 2004 -- Datacrafts vision and philosophy is focused on success with a goal of building a community that is dedicated to making Lean execution work. By providing the manufacturer with the tools necessary to streamline their processes and effectively integrate all members of the supply chain, clients are able to attain their goal of becoming a truly lean company. Not only is the focus on improving the processes, rather taking the idea of community to the next level. Datacraft Solutions, Inc. is involved from implementation and training to 24/7/365 customer support to ensure that lean implementation is a success.

Using lean manufacturing principles Datacraft Solutions (www.datacraftsolutions.com) web-based Signum Kanban systems delivers measurable goals and a clear implementation strategy. Signum allows manufacturers to maximize their efficiencies through unprecedented computerized process automation. By integrating bar code scanners, Signum enables automatic issues of signals directly to the supplier via email at the point of scan. Signum also contains an inventory level calculator which allows you to change the demand levels for a single component, finished good, or an entire product family to accommodate seasonal demand spikes. Calculations are automatically made and applied to the appropriate card(s) and any needed additional new cards printed.

Signum is ranked one of the simplest lean automation solutions available and has been recognized by users as very easy to learn. Unlike some ERP implementations, there is no complex setup process or difficult procedures to learn.

There had to be a simple solution to an electronic kanban that would put in place a system that was easy to learn for both planners and suppliers, and visible for everyone to function without confusion, supply concerns, and productivity impacts.

Datacraft Solutions (www.datacraftsolutions.com) Signum is the leading web-based kanban automation system.

Signum is the manufacturers tool, integrating inventory barcode scanners and kanban cards into a web interface where buyers can plan and calculate their kanban requirements, automatically issue replenishment signals to suppliers, confirm receipt, and monitor status at all times. Customizable alerts and control signals control routine transactions and exceptions.

Signum has another key feature: the repository. It is the feature that allows manufacturers to have real data to direct future on-going continued process improvement efforts. Signum can report on supplier performance, reliability, and determine who needs help".
