Ultriva Explains Kanban Labels Printed On-Demand Increase Supply Chain Accuracy

Cupertino, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/30/2014 --Narayan Laksham, founder and CEO of Ultriva, Inc., a leading supply chain execution software company, discussed in the company’s blog, how Ultriva supply chain execution software can allow a Kanban label to be printed. The Kanban label acts as an electronic signal to an internal or external point of resupply and can easily communicate with business management software such as ERPs and MRPs.

Laksham explained, “If a manufacturing company is using Oracle E-Business Suite ERP, Oracle E-Business Suite is the system of records, and Ultriva manages the material flow transactions, using Kanban signals. Consumption on the floor triggers an electronic Kanban signal that can interface with Oracle E-Business Suite to get a discrete purchase order (PO) or a release line against a blanket PO. Suppliers can receive this signal along with the PO and can execute the replenishment by remotely printing a Kanban label while shipping the goods, using Ultriva’s Collaborative Electronic Kanban (CEK). When the goods are received at the dock, they are scanned for auto generation of a PO receipt in Oracle E-Business Suite.”

Ultriva’s Electronic Kanban offers the following benefits:

-PO creation for Kanban signals triggered from the point of use
-PO receipts for the goods being transacted
-Synchronizing item master
-Synchronizing supplier master
-Data extraction for inventory analysis
-All interfaces are monitored by a transactional workflow system.
