Ultriva, the leader in collaborative supply chain solutions, was chosen as the solution for a successful agricultural equipment manufacturer. The manufacturer is a global leader focused on the design, manufacture, and distribution of agricultural machinery.

Their main tractor assembly plant had some success with an internal manual Kanban card system but had struggled with trying to extend it beyond the four walls of their plant to their supply chain partners and to other plants. The combination of high overhead support costs for their manual Kanban card system, lost and duplicate Kanban cards, and a reliance on email, phone and fax to place, track and close material replenishment orders created an environment ripe with cost savings and cost avoidance improvement opportunities.

Narayan Laksham, Ultriva founder and CEO commented, “Keeping production lines optimally stocked with necessary parts and components - when they are needed and in the right quantity is essential. As a product is consumed in the production process, an order for depleted inventory must be placed immediately through an electronic cloud-based kanban system. Consumption-driven replenishment proves its applicability across tiers of distribution and supplier networks and has become the compelling alternative to more traditional Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or “push” style systems, which rely on forecasts to determine what and how much to produce.”
