Productivity and Throughput Only Possible with Supply Chain Visibility in Upcoming Webinar Next Week

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/05/2016 -- Productivity and throughput is only possible with supply chain visibility. An upcoming webinar next week on Monday, April 11, 2016 at 11:00 am EST will address Six Sigma and lean manufacturing. The webinar is called, "The Intersection of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma." There is limited space available to attend so it is recommended to register immediately at: http://bit.ly/1nVMDke.

Respected manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler will moderate a conversation about the role that technology is playing in the recent overlap and utilization of both advanced lean manufacturing techniques in conjunction with Six Sigma methodologies. Cutler, the host of a weekly episodic video discussion, Kanbanversation, said these best practice methods have often been introduced separately and even the advent of Lean Six Sigma is now aggressively supported by new technologically supported solutions.

Suggested attendees include those companies with Continuous Process Improvement, Lean Initiative, and Six Sigma teams currently implemented. The ability to discern which projects optimize the impact of these programs is being avidly supported by technology which will be explored. Often there is a fatigue and overwhelm following a year or more of these initiatives; keeping the time, effort, and resources in these efforts must also eliminate waste, which is the purpose of this important conversation.

Participants include Randy Clark a Six Sigma Black Belt, American Society of Quality Examiner, Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award with over two decades as a practitioner and leader in Continuous Improvement efforts, with companies like Pitney Bowes and Whirlpool. Additionally Frank Kapper will join the conversation with over 30 years of experience architecting, directing, and managing successful enterprise and division-level information technology and business systems transformation initiatives in mission critical environments. Kapper is a proven innovator in the application of advanced IT systems and process improvement methodologies to drive sustainable bottom-line improvement and growth.

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2016 -- Ultriva by Upland, the leader in cloud-based collaborative supply chain solutions, described in a recent company blog, that global manufacturers, from $200M+, face extraordinary risk without a firm control of effective inventory management. Supply chain professionals working with purchasing and procurement managers wrestle with practical daily aspects of inventory management, from determining optimal inventory levels, to selecting the best storage locations, to ensuring inventory accuracy.

All of these processes are designed to improve productivity and profitability through better inventory management. Ultimately this issue of forecasting, replenishment, and investment analysis lands squarely at a C-level decision-maker, often the CEO or CFO.

"When you really look at the raw materials or the components that you are getting from your external supplier the big challenge is having the right part at the right place at the right time," noted Narayan Laksham, Ultriva founder

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2016 -- Ultriva by Upland, the leader in cloud-based collaborative supply chain solutions, described in a recent company blog, how real-time access to demand-driven supply chain is required to improve productivity and profitability. Large global manufacturers recognize the success of the supply chain depends on all parties keeping up-to-date; but two-thirds of manufacturing and distribution professionals report having a hard time keeping everyone up-to-date.

While 79% of manufacturing and distribution professionals report that it important or very important to have anytime access to files and 90% access files outside of the office, nearly half (49%) still struggle with accessing files any time.

- 50% struggle with sharing large files
- 84% are concerned about the security and privacy of files
- 49% feel it is difficult to connect on projects and work collaboratively with others outside the company, such as prospects, customers, suppliers, and partners

The findings, released as part of a workplace study demonstrate a gap in productivity lead to costly errors. The data accessed remotely is not the same among C-level global manufacturers versus contact examined by supply chain managers or purchasing professionals. The ability to access 24/7 real-time SaaS demand driven supply chain data is now a responsibility throughout the enterprise both in avoiding costly errors and strategic decision-making.

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2016 -- Ultriva by Upland, the leader in cloud-based collaborative supply chain solutions, described in a recent company blog, that global manufacturers, from $200M+, face extraordinary risk without a firm control of effective inventory management. Supply chain professionals working with purchasing and procurement managers wrestle with practical daily aspects of inventory management, from determining optimal inventory levels, to selecting the best storage locations, to ensuring inventory accuracy.

All of these processes are designed to improve productivity and profitability through better inventory management. Ultimately this issue of forecasting, replenishment, and investment analysis lands squarely at a C-level decision-maker, often the CEO or CFO.

"When you really look at the raw materials or the components that you are getting from your external supplier the big challenge is having the right part at the right place at the right time," noted Narayan Laksham, Ultriva founder

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2016 -- Ultriva by Upland shared how Ingersoll Rand's Trane division achieved better communication with its suppliers. The resulting inventory visibility helped to keep its continuous-flow manufacturing lines humming.

Continuous-flow manufacturing requires delivery of replenishment parts to the factory just ahead of the rolling assembling line. Tight coordination between the manufacturer and its suppliers is critical, and there is no room for miscommunication. Ingersoll Rand, parent of the air conditioning and heating brands Trane and American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning, set up an online, collaborative supply chain portal in 2008 with Ultriva. The Trane business unit uses the portal as a common communication platform with its suppliers and to obtain the end-to-end supply chain visibility that is essential for just-in-time replenishment.

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2016 -- Ultriva by Upland, the leader in cloud-based collaborative supply chain solutions, described in a recent company blog, how real-time access to demand-driven supply chain is required to improve productivity and profitability. Large global manufacturers recognize the success of the supply chain depends on all parties keeping up-to-date; but two-thirds of manufacturing and distribution professionals report having a hard time keeping everyone up-to-date.

While 79% of manufacturing and distribution professionals report that it important or very important to have anytime access to files and 90% access files outside of the office, nearly half (49%) still struggle with accessing files any time.

- 50% struggle with sharing large files
- 84% are concerned about the security and privacy of files
- 49% feel it is difficult to connect on projects and work collaboratively with others outside the company, such as prospects, customers, suppliers, and partners

The findings, released as part of a workplace study demonstrate a gap in productivity lead to costly errors. The data accessed remotely is not the same among C-level global manufacturers versus contact examined by supply chain managers or purchasing professionals. The ability to access 24/7 real-time SaaS demand driven supply chain data is now a responsibility throughout the enterprise both in avoiding costly errors and strategic decision-making.

Buyers Planners and Supply Chain Managers Prefer Ultriva Supplier Portal Over SAP

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/10/2015 -- Ultriva, a leader in cloud-based collaborative supply chain solutions, has many advantages over the SAP Supplier portal. Ultriva provides a collaboration platform for customers (buyers, planners, supply chain managers, material handlers and external suppliers) to use the system and interact in real time. It is not just a website where users go to get information, but rather a process work flow controlled with built-in notification alerts for exceptions. SAP lacks this collaborative and critical feature.

Current supply chain management systems often lack the tools necessary to quickly and cost effectively react to the constant stream of changes in customer demand, production schedules, and supply deficiencies, so common in today's global markets. Having to rely on different systems with multiple tools is often expensive, time-consuming and inefficient. Ultriva's technology supports true collaboration and execution between manufacturers and their supply chain partners to enable seamless performance and increased revenue.

Ultriva Supplier Portal Better than SAP

Cupertino, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/09/2015 -- Ultriva, a leader in cloud-based collaborative supply chain solutions, has many advantages over the SAP portal. SAP screens are typical master detail screens. With SAP users have to do multiple clicks and navigations to complete a single task. Ultriva screens are flat allowing users to perform actions with either one or two clicks.

SAP screens are function-oriented; Ultriva screens are task oriented. Ultriva provides easier navigation from summary to individual details. Ultriva application is role-based and can be customized by users to provide security and control. This is not the case with SAP.

SAP is not alone is Supplier Portal limitations.
