E-kanban Solutions

Digital Kanban

Alphamindz is an authorized implementation partner and reseller of Datacraft Solutions, a web-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that helps lean manufacturers to streamline their supply chain replenishment process. Its products help companies to gain immediate visibility to their supply chains and leverage technology to better manage inventories, improve inventory turns, reduce lead times, improve ERP transaction accuracy, and build effective partnerships with key customers and suppliers.

Kanban is a signaling system that indicates a required action to begin moving materials or to begin production. While manual kanban systems can work well within a factory, we believe there is a significant opportunity for companies to leverage digital kanban systems to extend their pull-based approach to suppliers and customers.

Benefits of a Digital Kanban System

• Eliminates lost cards
• Reduces manual card handling and order-entry activities
• Clarifies communication with suppliers
• Enables real-time visibility of demand signals
• Speeds analysis of supplier performance
• Allows efficient analysis and adjustment of kanban quantities
• Free up time for material managers to focus on strategic issues like supplier relationships and capacity utilization

Alphamindz works with its clients to develop lean value chains where customer demand drives supply chain replenishment - creating a pull effect from customers back to the distribution center, factory and suppliers. We help clients to develop collaborative relationships with suppliers and customers that smooth the flow of products the through value chain helping to improve quality, reduce inventory and delight customers.
