Datacraft Solutions Shares and Kanban with IndustryWeek Editors

Datacraft Solutions Shares and Kanban with IndustryWeek Editors IndustryWeek, one of the most important manufacturing publications, examined how the e-Kanban solutions are key to an effective lean manufacturing initiative and provides a detailed report on the industry leader Datacraft Solutions. According to Matthew Marotta, founder of Datacraft Solutions, "We do not charge for system upgrades as lea more about the new practices that customers are asking us to include. Before Datacraft incorporates the request for review of lean buy an advisory committee to validate the value of best practices and value added impact on our community partners. Once that happens, that develop, test and deploy. "The hosting solution provides the customer with its own set of servers that are kept outside and outsourced administrators. All administrative costs, equipment, support teams and software updates are included in the monthly service is less than the cost of hiring a system administrator. The value of an ASP is that manufacturers can buy "by the drink", low risk, and to see a rapid retu on investment. Only inteet access is required. The non-ASP option leaves manufacturers investing a large sum of networked communication, personnel, training, application servers, consulting for system modification, along with all the hidden costs that come with it. The only disadvantage of using an ASP is the client is not the owner of the system (application), only their data. This conce tends to be the issue of IT as it wishes to control all phases of e-Kanban operation. The cost of waste and control is completely contrary to a Lean Initiative. While some ERP systems QAD, Factory Logic, and the works are some features of e-Kanban is not their main objective, then the purchase of the ERP system manufacturers at a price most important and all the price increases (and upgrade charges) . From the perspective of Lean functionality and immediate cost recovery can not be justified, unless there is a plan for a manufacturer to replace the ERP system.
