Accelerate Lean Manufacturing Initiatives with Real-Time Data
In this fast-paced world of global competition and economic turmoil, it is the manufacturers that never lose sight of Lean Manufacturing methodologies that that will prevail. Those that root out the waste that erodes profits will lower their costs without sacrificing quality. In doing so, they’ll improve their competitiveness and their capabilities to respond quickly to changing customer needs, and position themselves to respond to dynamic market, technology and regulatory changes.
Lean Manufacturing dictates ongoing measurement and continuous improvement to optimize performance. These Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are the critical metrics you use to track the utilization and output of your resources.
Epic Data provides solutions that foster continuous improvement through the collection, analysis and provision of real-time data on the shop floor – the source of many opportunities for improvement. The Integra™ Suite of software solutions track real-time, shop floor data about your people, parts and processes, and lets you analyze it in terms of your KPIs. More importantly, the Integra Suite is a tool for managers to identify areas requiring focus, problem solving and the elimination of waste.
Eliminate Waste to Optimize Manufacturing Operations
The foundation of Lean Manufacturing is the elimination of waste and wasteful activity, and the maximization of resource utilization in the value stream. Scrap, over-stocked inventory, idle time and unused machinery are the targets for waste elimination. Productivity, uptime and on-time deliveries are some of the metrics for continuous improvement of value-added resource utilization.
IntegraTrak™ real-time shop floor parts and asset tracking system helps target areas of waste elimination including:
- Reduction of defects, improved quality
- Reduction of downtime due to line-side parts shortages, increased productivity
- Elimination of the need for safety stock, cost reduction
- Reduction of work-in-process and excess inventory accumulation, cost reduction
- Minimization of over processing or handling of goods, cost saving
IntegraTLC™ real-time shop floor labor management systems helps managers ensure their production workers are assigned to the most valuable activities, driven by:
- Better responsiveness to change orders and customer requests
- Optimized utilization of labor and assets
