  10. Lean Manufacturing And WIP Visibility
    By David Orain, Omnitrol Networks     10/24/2007
    Most manufacturers have been slowly implementing Lean Production methodologies for years. The goals are to reduce labor costs, keep less inventory, minimize time to market, and become highly responsive to customer requirements to produce high quality, error-proofed products efficiently at low cost. Implementing a WIP Visibility system on the edge of the network, on the actual production floor, focuses on the production staff first and the back-end systems second. An automated WIP visibility system will be able to immediately infer production bottlenecks or quality issues and flag machine operators as soon as the problem is found, followed by management update via back-end ERP integration.
