Press Release Summary: Simple Moving Average Proves Critical in Datacraft Solutions’
Intelligent Card Leveling e-Kanban Solution

Press Release Body: According to Stephen Parker, CEO of Datacraft Solutions,
“Intelligent Card (ICL) will allow users to upload their production schedule for
each card set, as well as predict the card level with Datacraft Solutions’ Simple
Moving Average (SMA) algorithm.” Leveling (ICL) is a web-based supplemental
capability to provide heuristic and production scheduling capabilities for the
Signum demand driven supply chain product.

Similar to weather forecasters who use various models to determine the likely path
of a hurricane, the company will issue subsequent releases with new algorithms based
upon the most advanced scientific forecasting technology. These best-of-breed
prediction tools for Signum customer sites have been developed by working with lean
manufacturing thought leaders for the past five years. The advanced research and
development is central to continuous improvement (CI) and created the industry’s
first card re-leveling tool.

With the new ICL system, the Datacraft Solutions’ customer will upload of production
schedule data and use historical consumption for all heuristics; the user will then
be allowed to select which method of card set leveling should be utilized. The user
will also be allowed to override the card set levels for any digital kanban card
set. Once the user has verified the process, a single submission will pass all the
information to Signum for a “mass card update.” Users will be prompted to print
additional cards for increasing card levels.


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. Through the SaaS (software as a service) mechanism, 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 (Signum) 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.
