nMetric offers discrete manufacturers with Production Management solution that picks up where traditional ERP business systems end…by bridging the gap between planning and execution to address the challenges of today's real-time, demand-driven environment. nMetric® helps Consumer Goods manufacturers bypass the limitations of their existing systems and processes to tackle the obstacles to operational excellence:

    * Empower operators
    * Balance demand & resources  
    * Coordinate JIT & lean flow  
    * Eliminate paper processes
    * Measure KPI's in real-time
    * Standardize work instructions  
    * Reduce cycle & delivery time
    * Maintain accurate traceability  
  

    New integrated lean workflow utilities within nMetric's Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software solve delivery and quality problems of consumer goods manufacturers. Consumer Goods manufacturers most of the time state that in order to remain competitive, they have to do it all... produce a greater variety of parts or SKU's, meet more stringent warranty requirements, achieve 100% on-time-delivery, and reduce inventory levels - while at the same time improve productivity fast enough to meet yearly cost reductions requested by their customers.

    They often convey frustration with existing business systems, traditional manual methods and paper-based processes that actually hinder their continuous improvement initiatives. They want solutions that enable Lean workflow and offer the real-time visibility of critical Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) that can speed up their Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma goals. Employees need user-friendly data and support utilities to respond to dynamic changes on the factory floor and make better, faster, and more precise decisions.

    The solution is web-engineered from ground up using the latest Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) service oriented architecture, is 100% thin-client, and platform independent to work with virtually any operating system, database, commercial ERP (such as SAP, etc.), and legacy application.

Some of the Consumer Goods capabilities are:

    * Genealogy Reporting
    * Lean Scheduling     
    * Data Collection     
    * Quality Control     
    * Work Procedures     
    * KPI Reports
    * Shopfloor Control
    * e-Kanban
    * ERP Interface

    The patented 4C@SITE® solution is a modular and scalable enterprise Manufacturing Execution System (MES) with fully integrated functions for Dispatch, Scheduling, Quality, Traceability, Reporting, Tracking and much more. nMetric's clients represent a wide range of industries including Aerospace, Automotive, Chemicals, Consumer Packaged Goods, Industrial Equipment, and more.
