SCM/Thru-Put
Greater visibility and information.

Thru-Put is a powerful tool for reducing manufacturing cycle time and inventory while improving on-time shipments. Using lean, pull-based software, our solution connects to your existing ERP system and works in harmony to improve operational performance. You will increase plant capacity with existing resources, reduce production cycle time and inventory, and improve on-time shipments.

Thru-Put connects to existing MRP and ERP backbone systems giving you a planning and scheduling tool that provides great visibility on both material and capacity for improved operational performance and better decision making. Material and capacity planning is conducted simultaneously to provide realistic schedules, plans, and promise dates based on what your plant(s) can actually produce through your bottlenecks and constraints. Utilizing lean methodology, Thru-Put "pulls" the material through the plant based on demand due dates (customer orders or forecast or both).

The more complex your production process and operations are, the more variability that exists on the shop floor, coupled with demand - the more your business will benefit with our solution. Planners and buyers use the increased material and capacity visibility and "what-if" capabilities in the software to give them a tool to have a positive and immediate impact on on-time shipments, shorter production cycle times (more throughput), and reduced inventory. The "what-if" capabilities will enable your team to combine orders with like set-ups, use alternative routings, apply overtime only when and where needed, and outsource (if appropriate) to meet product mix as well as customer due dates. Thru-Put seeks one piece continuous flow balanced to eliminate material and capacity waste associated with running fixed lot-sizes or fixed Kanban quantities. You gain more flexibility to meet customer demand by maximizing production over constraints while dealing with upsets on the shop floor. This lean tool provides value by synchronizing the plant for maximum throughput, very high on-time, and inventory reduction.

Greater visibility and information translates into better planning & scheduling decisions. Increased inventory turns, improved customer responsiveness, and more capacity with current resources will positively impact your company’s productivity and profit.
