Lean Manufacturing

From the onset a core design criterion of WinMan has been to facilitate lean thinking techniques.

WinMan supports both traditional push (work order) and modern pull (agile, cell, flow, JIT, lean) manufacturing processes in an extremely flexible manner.

Here’s some of the features that enable WinMan to support lean manufacturing:

• Powerful product configuration tools.
  
  
• Back to back sales order to manufacturing or purchase orders simulate lean methods for those starting out on their lean journey.
  
  
• Internal and highly automated external Kanban routines create a seamless link to suppliers.
  
  
• Flexible manufacturing backflush processing.
  
  
• Inventory control by location enabling point of use inventory management.
  
  
• Make to ship routines with orderless kit building and backflushing at time of shipment for flexibility
  
  
• Support lean accounting with automated receiving to accounts payable processing
  
  
• Materials control of non-Kanban items is supported by super fast MRP and re-order point logic.
  
  
• Planning is supported by user friendly MPS.
