Factory Logic (TM), Austin, Texas announced that the Automotive Group of Johnson Controls, Inc. will install the Factory Logic Lean Operations Management System software across thirty U.S.-based Johnson Control manufacturing facilities.
"We place a significant emphasis on lean manufacturing as a means of continuous improvement throughout our organization," states Steve Valentine, director of supply chain management for Johnson Controls North American operations.
Johnson Controls conducted a pilot implementation at one of the company's facilities in Holland, Mich. Valentine cites Factory Logic's integrated leveling, sequencing, scheduling, and kanban/supermarket capabilities which enabled Johnson to respond to changes in demand, production, and inventory levels, and ensure that all production and supply resources remain in sync with the production plan.
