Apriso: Smart-Pull Manufacturing Solution

July 23, 2013
The Smart-Pull Manufacturing solution removes the constraints of traditional Kanban systems by greatly expanding the scope of how a pull process can be executed.

By embedding the company's Manufacturing Process Intelligence (MPI) into a pull process it is possible to achieve more intelligent process execution with greater accuracy and responsiveness. This can significantly reduce waste and lead time while improving delivery performance. Delivered on a global manufacturing platform, the solution enables business processes to be triggered by nearly any operational event-including any production, material, quality, maintenance, labor or machine activity. These real-time signals can be intelligently filtered, automatically diagnosed and selectively contextualized to trigger the dynamic execution of any business process. Features of the software include real-time manufacturing intelligence to quickly extract actionable insights out of manufacturing supply chain events, hence driving the execution of intelligent pull processes; management of a wide range of pull processes, including Production Kanban, Supplier Kanban, Replenishment Kanban, Signal Kanban, Just-In-Sequence (JIS) ship, JIS make and JIS buy, among others; and the ability to synchronize both in-house and external processes, including those operating "within the four walls" as well as those operating at customers, suppliers and subcontractors.
