Some feedback from our customers:
Mr. Luis de Leon - formerly Senior Operations Manager Asia, Flextronics International
“This system is so visual and easy to understand that even a manager can use it”
“With our MRP system we were expediting 1-3 part shortages per day on our primary product line. Since IKS implementation we have gone 3 consecutive months without a single shortage!”
… and one year later: “We had been experiencing repeated down time due to fabricated part shortages in final assembly using MRP. Now that we have switched to IKS we have eliminated internally fabricated part shortages completely!”
Mr. Fabian Vazquez, Mr. Angel Espinoza - Lean Implementation Managers, Navistar, USA/Mexcio
“IKS has been a great tool in our Lean Journey, it helped us to reduce inventory and it improved the Kanban system at our assembly plants. The e-Kanban module is now been used by 20 suppliers that are shipping to our facilities on a just in time basis, replenishing only what has been consumed. IKS technical support is excellent, they helped us to customize IKS to our company needs.”
“IKS is an easy and user friendly software.”
Mr. Tony Vorley - formerly Business Information Systems Director, Pirelli Tyres Limited, UK
“IKS helps Pirelli to maintain its grip on the road to Lean Manufacturing.”
“IKS is the best electronic Kanban system available. It was designed and optimized by Kanban specialists. It is not an afterthought add-on to an ERP system.”
Mr. Michael Anke - Strategic Materials Management, beyerdynamic, Germany
“…it is important that all key persons (Managing Director, Production Manager etc.) are convinced by the Kanban solution. The IKS software has attested that all promised positive effects will come true. Actual we have linked 23 suppliers to our Kanban system and we will continue this way.”
Mr. Dirk Kohl - formerly Materials and Logistic Manager, Sunrise Medical, Germany
“”All important Kanban processes have to be easy to understand and easy to do. We have chosen the IKS system because it is based on our PDCA quality cycle and it is a great software to support our continuous improvement activities (Kaizen).”
“…IKS offers a complete visualization of inventory and lead-time just by pushing a button. So it is possible to optimize our inventory levels without any risk of a material shortage.”
Mr. Ralf Kästner, Mr. Jürgen Ernst - Manager Assembly, Manager Logistics, Maschinenfabrik Gerd Mosca, Germany
“The e-Kanban system IKS offers a very clearly arranged visualization, it is easy to use, user friendly and implementation time is absolutely short. The operators can be trained also in a short time and the new electronic Kanban processes are easy to understand and easy to realize.”
“We have purchased a system which helped us a lot to improve the material handling in production and assembly during the last years.”
