Datacraft Solutions, Inc. Announces Strategic Partnership and New Multi-Year Corporate Contract with Danaher Corporation

    DURHAM, NC, August 21, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Datacraft Solutions, Inc. Announces Strategic Partnership and New Multi-Year Corporate Contract with Danaher Corporation

Danaher Corporation looks to digital Kanban, or "consumption based replenishment" software to ensure that production flow meets customer demand.

Datacraft Solutions, Inc., the lean manufacturer's partner for building cost-effective digital supply chain replenishment networks, has successfully completed the third installation of its lean manufacturing solution for the Washington, D.C.-based Danaher Corporation, a leading lean manufacturer and has finalized agreements to implement in three more facilities over the next three months.

Signum is an automated digital supply chain technology that reduces inventory levels, increases productivity, continually improves process flow and provides realtime, visual and collaborative communication in the supply chain. Signum is delivered securely over the Internet without the need to install and maintain complex, expensive software.

Brian Burnett, the Vice President of the Danaher Business Systems Office (DBSO) and Procurement says, "A key performance indicator we measure across the Danaher businesses is inventory turns. When inventory turns consistently improve, a lot of the right processes are in place. We are excited about our partnership with Datacraft Solutions because they provide us with "low barrier to entry," state of the art technology with which we can easily standardize across our organization. Datacraft enables us to integrate with our diverse back office systems, so we can leverage our existing processes and technology and move into production, quickly realizing results."

"Datacraft's approach is to work with the world's premiere lean leaders to develop and operate businesses that generate outstanding financial returns," said Stephen Parker, Datacraft CEO. "Our strategic partnership with Danaher draws on a joint commitment to develop world class inventory supply chain execution systems which yield unprecedented inventory turnover while supporting micro-short customer delivery cycles. This collaboration will be compelling not only for our companies, but also for our industries, our partners and, of course, for consumers."
