Lean Manufacturing Software

Plexus has a long history with Lean Manufacturing. In fact, the company Plexus Systems Inc. grew out of MSP Industries Corporation, a manufacturer that helped pioneer lean manufacturing principles in the automotive industry.

Today, Plexus offers a variety of options for lean manufacturing. We offer Scanban, which uses physical barcoded Kanban Cards. We also offer the more popular Electronic Kanban System, which is easier to manage and implement, and can be used in hybrid combination with more traditional scheduling methodologies. Each part and operation can be setup to use the type of scheduling that makes the most sense for the situation. We also offer other lean scheduling tools, such as our Electronic Pull Scheduler and the Online Customer Replenishment System.
