m-fusion™ from 2think
m-fusion™ can best be described as an air traffic control system for
your supply chain. A network of integrated systems,
m-fusion™,
provides real-time visibility and control of your "air space"
(supply chain) to help your organization avoid "mid-air
collisions" and maximize throughput.
m-fusion™
utilizes real-time visibility and synchronization of ALL
resources required to fulfill demand and continuously makes
adjustments to enable significant speed, reliability,
throughput and efficiency gains.
m-fusion's™
exception based nature allows your organization to focus its
attention on just those events that are off schedule and
enables proactive problem resolution when exceptions do occur.
m-fusion™ delivers a modular
supply chain support capability that can be implemented over
time and in a sequence that supports the needs and direction
of your manufacturing operation. 2think’s m-fusion™ methodology
combined with its “80/20” approach that embraces the reality
that 20% of most applications provide 80% of the value makes
each m-fusion™ module a simple and cost effective alternative to packaged
solutions.
m-fusion™ Architecture: Modular design allows for iterative
implementation, reducing risk.
