Press Release Summary: Ron Van Nostrand is Voice of the Customer at Datacraft
Solutions' Replenishment Supply Chain Digital Kanban System

Press Release Body: Datacraft Solutions (www.datacraftsolutions.com) delivers a
revolutionary digital kanban process of automation solutions to lean manufacturers
through a secure Internet gateway, eliminating the need to install and maintain a
complex IT infrastructure. The company has experienced significant growth in the
past two years by eliminating complicated, expensive, time-intensive software
implementations as well as extensive training regimens and the need for internal
support. Datacraft Solutions' replenishment supply chain digital kanban system
allows customers to access and utilize powerful lean benefits immediately for a low,
predictable monthly fee. Services are scalable so manufacturers can design an
appropriate digital kanban solution.

Ron Van Nostrand, CPIM, MBA, is the Services Project Manager for Datacraft
Solutions. The importance of his role as a Lean Project Manager is critical for the
company's clients.

According to Van Nostrand, "My manufacturing and distribution experience enables me
to understand the processes, challenges, and system requirements of the client. I
represent the Voice of the Customer to our sales and engineering teams by
translating customer requirements to the development roadmap to serve the customer
needs and desires. Using the cumulative experience and first hand knowledge of the
plant floor along with dozens of Signum implementations and site visits to
manufacturing plants, I provide lean knowledge and consulting help to position our
clients for success."

Von Nostrand's role has made the SaaS (software as a service) implementation develop
a rapid ROI (return on investment) for clients. He explained, "I train the client to
set the system up and begin production signaling in a 5-day training workshop.using
my experience in manufacturing and pull systems, I help the client to sort through a
variety of process issues and show them how to map Signum to their operations for
maximum utility.

Signum is really a relatively simple, but high tech solution, that the client can
set up for live production quickly and after just five days, the client can be in
position to achieve almost instant ROI through efficient application of real time
supply chain collaboration and consumption-based replenishment. Clients use the
Datacraft Solutions' SaaS tool for reliable and cost effective communication of the
demand to suppliers and can receive the same pull-based usage from their customers.
Signum has an array of features and functions that can be used in an assortment of
combinations that lead to very creative application to the particular challenges
that face our customers who represent diverse industries.
