QAD Lean Manufacturing

QAD Lean Manufacturing offers a suite of tools that supports both lean manufacturing and flow scheduling practices for production, replenishment and inventory...

It gives users the ability to tightly manage inventory throughout the value stream, providing complete functionality to establish and execute Kanban processes and to implement effective pull systems — both inside the manufacturing plant and with suppliers.

Using data that already exists in the enterprise system, QAD Lean Manufacturing can model the most complex value streams. A value-stream map can be used to create a model of suppliers, manufacturing processes and flows, supermarkets and customers. Kanban loops can be established and levels visibly communicated throughout the supply chain.
