Oakland Park, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2016 -- Manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler and John Maher, Vice President of Product Strategy at Synchrono recently discussed the impact of real world results when demand-driven production planning and scheduling is synchronized in a feature published in Automation.com magazine. The article was titled, "Real World Results When Demand-Driven Production Planning and Scheduling is Synchronized."
Demand-driven manufacturers succeed when they use technology to gain capacity and solve customers' most pressing business issues. The convergence of manufacturing and technology is defined as the demand driven factory of the future.

After gaining real-time visibility into what is actually happening out on the floor and the extended supply chain, the known real world metrics lead to improving actionable behavior. In many cases compensation also becomes tied to these objectives.
