Manuvis Extends FactoryMRI®'s Real-Time Lean Manufacturing Capabilities
Manuvis offers additional value by integrating real-time production results with real-time inventory status into enterprise-wide lean manufacturing tools to better measure, monitor, and control resources
CLEVELAND, Ohio. - November 15, 2007 - Manuvis Corporation, a leader in delivering innovative, real-time enterprise manufacturing intelligence software solutions that enable companies to lower operating costs, improve customer service, and increase profitability, announced today it has deployed unrivaled capabilities of merging real-time inventory balances and real-time production information into a holistic portrayal of resource effectiveness. These cutting edge capabilities enable: dynamic dashboards measuring value-added/non-value added activities to supplement value stream mapping; significantly reduced queue times through alerting material handlers to transport goods waiting for subsequent operations; accurate key performance indicators to guide continuous improvement teams; and real-time enterprise-wide visibility of manufacturing asset performance.
Whereas most manufacturing execution systems (MES) and enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI) solutions focus on production machine output, few offer inventory visibility. Manuvis' FactoryMRI, built on lean manufacturing principles, offers superior analytical tools that simplify information exchange within an enterprise and provides a common way to help synchronize enterprise assets. These tools help eliminate waste and increase profits, whether uncovering process variations that cause quality defects, identifying sources of waste and helping find untapped capacity. And since data is obtained directly from production machines, total cost of ownership is reduced by eliminating the need for human data entry into PC's or operate bar code equipment.
