St. Paul, Minnesota (PRWEB) June 22, 2017
Synchrono®, a leader in modern demand-driven manufacturing software, today announced that Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the executive's user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, has selected Synchrono and Orbital ATK, Aerospace Structures Division (ASD) as a recipient of an SDCE 100 Award for 2017.
The SDCE 100 is an annual list of 100 great supply chain projects. These projects can serve as a map for supply chain executives who are looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own operations. These projects show how supply chain solution and service providers help their customers and clients achieve supply chain excellence and prepare their supply chains for success.
"Our goal with 2017's Top 100 is to shine the spotlight on successful and innovative transformation projects that deliver bottom-line value to small, medium and large enterprises across the supply chain," says Ronnie Garrett, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "The selected projects can serve as a roadmap for supply chain executives looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own operations. We congratulate all of our winners for a job well done!"
The Winning Project.
Orbital ATK, a long-time client of Synchrono, initiated a new Lean manufacturing project within the company's Aerospace Structures Division (ASD) with the goal of right-sizing inventory levels within the factory and reducing costs associated with material waste. SyncKanban, an automated inventory replenishment and supply chain collaboration software system from Synchrono, proved to be the right solution. "The transformation was quick and SyncKanban will pay for itself many times over," noted Paul Hardy, Solutions Architect at Orbital ATK. "Within just three months, ASD inventory levels were optimized, scrap was reduced and this factory now has a single system of record for managing inventory replenishment." Based on these results, Orbital ATK is expanding SyncKanban across their manufacturing facilities.
More details on the ASD project and results are available in the case study, Orbital ATK Proves Merits of eKanban, available soon at http://www.synchrono.com.
