Apriso, a provider of adaptive software services for global Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM), announced the availability of a new system to support Lean Manufacturing.
The company claims that the FlexNet Lean Material Flow, developed in collaboration with Accenture, fills the gap around the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications in Lean manufacturing environments. The new system is expected to enable manufacturers to improve quality in logistics operations, production and customer responsiveness. The company also said that the new FlexNet platform synchronises material flows and improves global visibility and control.
Christophe Mouille, managing partner at Accenture, said: This solution is a collection of industry best practices Accenture gained by implementing 150+ Apriso deployments at world class manufacturers within the automotive, mill products and consumer goods industries. We see this solution as a way to extend and enhance Enterprise Resource Planning deployments, and consider FlexNet as an ERP module, bringing improved adaptability, responsiveness and visibility to our client’s shop floor operations.
Valeo, an automotive supplier, identified key Tier 1 automotive supplier requirements to help design this system while ensuring the system adhered to Lean principles.
