Demand-Driven Manufacturing

Cincom provides Knowledge-based Interactive and Guided Selling solutions to help manufacturers streamline quote-to-order sales processes, lower the cost to sell, and ensure that products can be built. Constraint-based Demand Planning solutions enable manufacturers to turn orders into production plans, capturing product information and sequencing demand into available production slots to meet order promise dates.

We also provide support for Product and Process Management so manufacturers can configure products, leverage the more responsive pull-based demand-driven manufacturing process and manage change in a flexible and agile environment. Cincom Production and Material Flow Execution capabilities support the pull-based environment, helping to manage material replenishment needs with Kanban technologies.

Demand-Driven Manufacturing Benefits and Opportunities:

• Increase customer responsiveness for improved satisfaction.
• Manufacture products on-demand rather than to a forecast.
• Eliminate wasteful steps and shorten the demand-driven planning cycle.
• Change to a pull-replenishment model for reduced inventory and JIT agility.
