Lean Manufacturing Software OnDemand

FactoryDNA Delivers Enterprise-Level Quality, Rapid Deployment and Low Total Cost of Ownership

(PRWEB) February 27, 2005 -- We have been able to implement FactoryDNAs OnDemand Enterprise in a matter of days and have created tremendous savings for our clients," said Masaki Imai, Founder of the Kaizen Institute. FactoryDNAs unique lean expertise combined with a best practices platform for lean manufacturing is helping us implement lean manufacturing quicker and make the gains stick."

FactoryDNA (http://www.factorydna.com)delivers the functionality and performance of an enterprise-class manufacturing application, but can be implemented in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. OnDemand Enterprise is a feature-rich, hosted software solution that enhances the results and sustainability of lean manufacturing initiatives by empowering manufacturers with innovative lean tools. These tools include:

•   Seamless Data Synchronization with Enterprise Systems -- Built from the ground up to compliment existing systems, OnDemand Enterprise enables rapid synchronization with ERP, APS, MES and others.
•   Policy Deployment and Modeling -- OnDemand Enterprise allows companies to model their operation, create what-if scenarios, perform lean accounting, and generate scorecards to be used in establishing a lean implementation roadmap.
•   Lean Manufacturing Decision Support -- OnDemand Enterprise offers a powerful engine to support the analysis, design and management of different build-models using pull-based manufacturing techniques.
•   Real-Time Visibility -- Key metrics such as inventory turns, service levels, operating costs, and lead-times can be viewed in real-time through configurable dashboards.

FactoryDNA is revolutionizing the manner in which the food and consumer goods industry manages their factories and supply chains," said John McCook, former executive of Unilever companies. Corporations like Wal-Mart are quickly forcing companies to change from a push system to a Demand Driven environment with a direct connection back to the factory. OnDemand Enterprise offers companies the best tools for accelerating that conversion."

Our mission is to deliver lean software and services to power lean enterprises," said Richard Lebovitz, Chief Executive of FactoryDNA. OnDemand Enterprise is the first genuine lean software solution that was built to support lean conversions from beginning to end. Everything before it has been too expensive, taken too long to implement and didnt provide the right tools to accelerate lean benefits and make them sustainable. OnDemand is going to change the manufacturing software market permanently."
