Thomas R. Cutler authored a feature profile of Follett Ice and
their selection of Datacraft Solutions e-kanban technology in
the July issue of Food Quality Magazine. The feature article
includes advice from Follett’s senior purchasing agent, Jeff
Craig, about the key variables when selecting an e-kanban
system. These include:
• Commitment from management to support lean manufacturing; • A
supply base that is open to change. The method of ordering
change, order quantities and lead-times will reduce; • People
available for implementation; and • Generate enough savings to
cover start-up and monthly fees.
Follett Ice went with Datacraft Solutions
(www.datacraftsolutions.com/ after just a two and a half month
evaluation process.
There is a real synergy among Datacraft Solutions’ customers
with everybody gaining from everyone else’s experience.
Datacraft Solutions delivers a revolutionary process of
automation solutions to lean manufacturers through a secure
Internet gateway, eliminating the need to install and maintain a
complex IT infrastructure. No complicated, expensive,
time-intensive software implementations necessary, no extensive
training regiments and no internal support headaches. Customers
concentrate on growing their business, not their IT overhead.
Getting started with Datacraft Solutions involves signing up,
importing data and getting to work. The Datacraft Solutions’
e-kanban lean system allows customers to access and fully
utilize powerful features immediately for a low, predictable
monthly fee.
According to Matthew Marotta, founder of Datacraft Solutions,
“We do not charge for upgrades to the system as we learn about
new best practices that clients ask us to incorporate. Before
Datacraft incorporates the request, it is reviewed buy a lean
advisory board to validate the value of the best practices and
the value added impact upon our partner community. Once it is
passed, they develop, test, and implement.”
The hosted solution provides the customer with their own set of
servers which are maintained offsite by and outsourced set of
administrators. All of the administration fees, equipment,
support teams and software updates are all included in the
monthly service fee which is less then the cost of hiring an
internal system administrator.
