AXCEND MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS
Axcend Lean Production Planning
One of the core tenets of manufacturing is to balance the demands of the market with the efficiency of the factory. With supply chain complexities, poor visibility into the shop floor processes and capacity, manufacturers more often than not are handicapped to do the balancing act and maximize their profitability.
Fluctuating demands combined with poor visibility makes it difficult for enterprises to adopt lean to the fullest.
Axcend Lean Production Planning (LPP) is a cloud-based application that helps manufacturers plan their production schedule accurately, reduce changeover times, and utilize their production line capacity to the fullest so that they can achieve their operational goals.
Benefits of Axcend LPP
Improved productivity and
profitability
