Synchronous Flow Manufacturing, offered by Synchrono®, is a solution designed to enable demand-driven manufacturing by synchronizing production with actual customer demand and optimizing flow throughout the supply chain. According to the vendor, this product caters to the needs of manufacturing professionals, supply chain professionals, operations managers, and production managers, providing them with tools and methodologies to enhance efficiency and responsiveness in their operations.

## Key Features

**Demand-Driven Manufacturing**: According to the vendor, this product incorporates Lean Manufacturing, Theory of Constraints, and Six Sigma principles to synchronize production with actual customer demand and optimize flow throughout the supply chain. It automates and digitizes data, connecting every function within the demand-driven organization and supply chain.

**Synchronization and Flow**: According to the vendor, this product enables a closed loop between customer orders, production scheduling, and manufacturing execution, ensuring synchronized flow of materials and resources across the supply chain. It provides real-time visibility of order statuses and disruptions throughout the enterprise.

**Environments for Demand-Driven Manufacturing**: According to the vendor, this product is applicable to make-to-stock (MTS), make-to-order (MTO), engineer-to-order (ETO), and configure-to-order (CTO) environments. It can right-size inventory and increase flow in MTS environments, while delivering increased flow, throughput, and on-time delivery in MTO, ETO, and CTO environments.

**Constraints Management**: According to the vendor, this product offers an agile and adaptive approach to manage and leverage constraints in the system. It releases work based on the capacity of constraints to maintain flow, eliminating bottlenecks, aging work-in-process (WIP), and inventory through effective constraints management.

**Demand-Driven Business Value**: According to the vendor, this product provides lower operating expenses through waste reduction, lower work-in-process (WIP), and improved alignment around flow. It offers greater inventory control by sparking only what is needed to meet customer demand, aligns the workforce and processes around flow, and increases throughput tied to better control of flow, visibility, and constraints management.

**The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)**: According to the vendor, this product enables the collection, analysis, and sharing of real-time data in the production environment, transforming it into actionable information for enhanced resource utilization. It can help connected factories become more demand-driven, increasing their competitive advantage and facilitating effective response for continuous improvement.

**Demand-Driven KPIs**: According to the vendor, this product tracks demand signal and movement throughout the supply chain with key performance indicators (KPIs) focused on throughput, investment (inventory), and operating expense. The vendor states that the true key performance indicator for Demand-Driven Manufacturers is on-time delivery, which guides continuous improvement efforts and provides a shared view of performance.

**Why Become Demand-Driven?**: According to the vendor, this product enables businesses to deliver on-time orders reliably, empowering employees with information to improve processes and enhance performance. It shortens reaction time to disruptions and bottlenecks, focusing on improved flow, and unleashes growth through enhanced customer responsiveness and continuous improvement.
