Manufacturers face relentless global competition that constantly exerts manufacturing cost pressure while customers demand exacting on-time delivery (OTD) performance.  Chronic customer forecast error and manufacturing process complexity are recognized as the leading causes in degrading both OTD and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). 

Our demand-driven predictive manufacturing solution, SNAPPS, virtually eliminates the operational impact of forecast error.

Driven by customer orders and the probabilistic synthesis of forecasts, SNAPPS generates an unparalleled understanding of demand for operations. The optimal manufacturing response to changing customer demand is determined by feeding this refined demand signal into SNAPPS’ powerful probabilistic inventory optimization and scheduling engines.

Our innovative approach enables a true Lean Pull order-to-fulfillment process in complex production environments.

Manufacture the Right Product

   at the Right Time

      at the Highest Possible Margin!

SNAPPS effectively manages both demand and supply variation to provide the optimal plant-system response to achieve Best-in-Class OTD and OEE performance.

SherTrack’s Six Sigma Services provide powerful support capabilities to your Continuous Improvement teams. Sophisticated predictive modeling and design-of-experiment techniques have extraordinary power to determine your true process capabilities and optimal production policies.

Root causes can be clearly identified and the impact of your policies on key performance indicators (KPIs) quantified. Effective process improvement projects can be conducted with less expense, effort and risk and deliver significant bottom line results.

Six Sigma Continuous Improvement initiatives use SNAPPS Predictive Probabilistic Modeling to accurately answer important questions like:

• What is your true process capability?
• Which factors control your performance?
• How much can you improve performance?
• How close can you run operations to your process capability limits?
