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

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

Nostrand addresses the specific benefits of moving to an electronic or digital

inventory stock-outs far exceeding their wildest hopes
