Synchrono will host a webinar demonstrating SyncView, a self-service visualization and communication system developed specifically for manufacturers. The webinar is Tuesday, August 15, 2017 at 12:00 pm EST. To register for the webinar, go to: bit.ly/2vf6pMA.

Synchrono, a leader in Demand-Driven Manufacturing synchronizing technology, was the chosen solution for Wenger Manufacturing, an engineer-to-order manufacturer headquartered in Sabetha, Kansas. Wenger specializes in commercial extrusion systems, including industrial dryers, toasting ovens and mixers for the grain and food processing industries. Wenger adopted the Synchrono demand-driven manufacturing method and synchronization technology to reduce cycle time and increase production capacity to meet growing customer demand. The resulting case study was described in the August issue of ISE magazine, titled, "Production Automation Gets IEs off the Shop Floor."

SyncAlert software instantly notifies manufacturers of disruptions in production, greatly reducing downtime. The software can connect to any data source to receive event signals from any part of the manufacturing facility and across multi-site environments. When an alert ticket comes in, SyncAlert software sends an email or text message to identified responders, such as quality and maintenance engineers, and begins tracking response time. Issues are then escalated up through the notification chain, as necessary.

The closest any manufacturer can get to the magic bullet of efficiency (collaboration) is through greater supply chain visibility. According to Synchrono, the leader in demand-driven manufacturing software, supply chain visibility means all partners get access to – and share data - in real-time. Visibility to all orders allows suppliers to proactively respond to demand signals. Poor visibility often results in parts shortages and expenses associated with unplanned downtime and expedited shipping methods to get the part back on the shop floor quickly. A real-time view of parts on hand allows a supply chain manager to take action before there is a stock out, eliminating frustration and added costs.

Synchrono will host a webinar reviewing how manufacturers are using eKanban, a process for pull-based inventory replenishment and demonstrate SyncKanban software. SyncKanban is an automated, pull-based inventory replenishment and supply chain collaboration system that keeps instantaneous supply chain signals moving through the organization in real-time.

John Maher, Vice President of Product Strategy at Synchrono, Inc. and 2017 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know winner, recently authored an article published in Efficient Manufacturing magazine titled, "Synchronizing Production Processes: Creating Demand Driven Factory of the Future." In these manufacturing environments, production planning, scheduling, and execution processes are fully synchronized to the customer's desired delivery date. The synchronized factory is able to quickly adapt to changes in demand and visualize real-time status and order information. Key performance indicators including on-time delivery, inventory turns, increased capacity, and more are positively impacted.

John Maher, Vice President of Product Strategy at Synchrono, is a leader in demand-driven manufacturing software systems. In this role, he defines and drives the product roadmap for the company, leading the software development and consulting services organizations.
