Common Sense Throughput® Introduced by Lilly Software Associates, Inc.
Success Strategy Aimed at CEOs to Maximize Profits
"Common Sense Throughput for CEOs focuses the VISUAL Manufacturing® application, implementations, and processes, on the singular goal of increasing throughput by removing bottlenecks," states AMR Research.
1 September 1998, Hampton, NH - Lilly Software Associates, Inc., providers of fully integrated Supply Chain Management software today announced Common Sense Throughput® , a success strategy for the manufacturing world aimed at maximizing profit. In a move that AMR Research calls an "industry-first," Lilly Software is offering a money-back guarantee of satisfaction on its solution.
"Common Sense Throughput for CEOs focuses the VISUAL Manufacturing® application, implementations, and processes, on the singular goal of increasing throughput by removing bottlenecks," states AMR Research. Common Sense Throughput provides companies with the tools to increase throughput by improving efficiency and increasing the utilization of bottlenecks in the manufacturing process. Common Sense Throughput leverages Lilly Software's flagship product VISUAL Manufacturing and its patented concurrent scheduling software.
Common Sense Throughput, a strategic plan for CEOs to optimize their companies' profits, was developed in cooperation with Lilly Software customers. Lilly found that CEO involvement in the software implementation process and a commitment to managing production bottlenecks on a daily basis resulted in increased profitability.
"Concurrent scheduling allows us to look at our business from every angle," said Ken Holley, Project Manager for Precision Machine Fabrication, "These different views allow the company to improve its throughput tremendously."
"Lilly Software has created a proven strategy for our customers to get the most out of their manufacturing facility," stated Richard T. "Dick" Lilly, CEO of Lilly Software Associates. "Providing our client base with Common Sense Throughput allows companies to learn to optimize the use of bottlenecks; in the end creating more throughput and profit."
Providing the CEO with critical information is the mission of Common Sense Throughput. Common Sense Throughput, which uses Lilly Software's patented concurrent scheduling, encourages CEO's to meet with their advisors every day. In 15 minutes or less, the CEO can review any bottlenecks from yesterday, today and those anticipated in the future. With this information the CEO can optimize the utilization of the bottleneck, thereby achieving greater throughput without increasing production resource capacity.
Common Sense Throughput is enabled using Lilly Software's recently obtained patent. This United States patent is for software that concurrently schedules materials and resources finitely. The patent is for the method that is comprised of monitoring the availability of each resource and material used in the manufacturing process.
