Partners in Collaboration Gain Efficiencies and Profits
Collaborative Manufacturing is a strategic initiative whose objective is to streamline business transactions and decision-making throughout the supply chain – both internal and external to the organization – to the mutual gain of all collaborators. Collaborative manufacturing allows groups from different functional areas to act together in setting policies and procedures, developing plans and schedules, and executing operations.
Spanning design, procurement, order processing, warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, shipping and cost accounting, Collaborative Manufacturing can help a company transition to made-to-order and mass-customization production models, take Lean Manufacturing initiatives further, and advance continuous improvement and Six Sigma efforts.
Epic Data’s Integra™ Suite of solutions enables Collaborative Manufacturing by capturing real-time data from the shop floor and making it visible to the decision-makers that can improve responsiveness, quality and cost-efficiency of operations.
Doing Business in Real-Time
Epic Data’s IntegraNet™ connects “islands of manufacturing information” to enterprise and supply chain IT systems so that real-time order, supply and production activities are taken into account and timely adjustments can be made.

- Quickly react to customer change orders or supply issues
- Improve turnaround on made-to-order products
- Implement JIT inventory replenishment to reduce inventory costs
- Tighten design cycles and improve product quality and production methods
- Provide order status updates
- Know real-time job costs in time to make pricing adjustments prior to delivery.
