New Lean Workflow Tools Solve Quality Problems With MES Advancements
New integrated lean workflow tools within nMetric's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software solve delivery and quality problems of consumer goods manufacturers.
Costa Mesa, CA (PRWEB) May 18, 2007 -- Consumer Goods is an industry where a growing price-based culture demands yearly cost reductions, while also improving delivery and quality. New integrated lean workflow tools within nMetric's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software solve delivery and quality problems of consumer goods manufacturers.
What Manufacturers Tell Us
Consumer Goods manufacturers often tell us that in order to remain competitive, they have to do it all... produce a greater variety of parts or SKU's, meet more stringent warranty requirements, achieve 100% on-time-delivery, and reduce inventory levels - while at the same time improve productivity fast enough to meet yearly cost reductions demanded by their customers.
These companies often convey frustration with existing business systems, traditional manual methods and paper-based processes that actually hinder their continuous improvement initiatives. They want tools that enable Lean workflow and provide the real-time visibility of critical Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) that can accelerate their Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma goals. Employees need user-friendly information and support tools to respond to dynamic changes on the factory floor and make better, faster, and more accurate decisions.
