Apriso Announces FlexNet Just-in-Sequence
Synchronization of production and supply chain processes expands Lean manufacturing initiatives, delivering the right part at the right time in the right sequence
(LONG BEACH, CA - August 6, 2008) - Apriso, a leading provider of adaptive software solutions for global Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM), today announced availability of FlexNet® Just In Sequence (JIS), an application now available with the release of FlexNet Version 9.4 Service Pack 1 Operations Execution System (see: Press Release Introducing FlexNet 9.4 SP1). The firm's expertise gained from extensive implementations in the automotive and industrial equipment industries has provided valuable insight into how to best synchronize material flows with high product variability between production and supply chain processes, helping to expand Lean manufacturing practices.
FlexNet JIS lets manufacturers integrate and control complex sequencing requirements generated from a myriad of business processes, such as those involved with the sourcing, fabrication, sub-assembly, production and shipping of materials. The sequence can be created in FlexNet, received directly from a customer broadcast, imported through an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) system, or traditional Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). FlexNet JIS manages assembly, manufacturing and logistics to control the sequence of parts, error-proof operations and collect traceability and genealogy information, helping to support Continuous Improvement and regulatory initiatives.
As business requirements change assembly, shipping or delivery schedules, FlexNet JIS will perform the necessary adjustments - including validation tests using embedded "Poka-Yoke" or error proofing - to ensure inbound and outbound processes are executed in the right order with the right materials at the right time.
Unlike traditional sequencing applications that tend to have a more narrow focus, FlexNet Just-In-Sequence enables robust synchronization between internal manufacturing, warehouse and quality management systems as well as external supply chain processes. Offering value across all manufacturing operations, FlexNet JIS is the industry's only sequencing application with comprehensive interlocking traceability and an integrated quality management system. Deployable as needed, FlexNet JIS lets manufacturers execute sequenced production, supply chain and warehouse business processes to:
Receive to Sequence
Pick to Sequence
Assemble to Sequence
Manufacture to Sequence
Ship to Sequence
"FlexNet JIS offers a unique sequencing solution to ensure receiving, production and shipment processes are executed seamlessly, enabling the right part to be in the right place at the right time and in the right order," comments Tiago Wright, product manager at Apriso. "By leveraging the knowledge and experience gained within Apriso's automotive deployments, FlexNet Just in Sequence can now additionally support manufacturers in other industries such as consumer goods and aerospace and defense, helping them to reduce lead times, improve operational efficiency and remove waste as part of their ongoing Lean initiatives."
Availability
FlexNet Just-In-Sequence is now available for immediate shipment. Pricing is based on the number of sites, the quantity of resources at each site and the modules deployed.
