Lilly Software was an innovator in the field of Lean Manufacturing and Lean Scheduling methodologies. The company offered VISUAL Easy Lean, a fast-implementing solution that provided the protection for planning and execution processes. VISUAL Easy Lean was a lean scheduling method that worked with VISUAL Enterprise and delivered significant results within 30-90 days of implementation. With a few small changes to its traditional planning methods, such as setting up shipping and inventory buffers, users could gain visibility into materials and production. This visibility allowed users to make better decisions, release inventory at optimal times, and smooth production flow. It helped users avoid chaotic situations on the production floor, take on increased business, and ultimately drive more money to the bottom line.
Whether a company operated as a make-to-order or make-to-stock manufacturer, VISUAL Easy Lean protected on-time deliveries through shorter lead-times and provided the critical information needed to overcome market constraints and increase business and profits. Unlike traditional scheduling solutions, VISUAL Easy Lean focused on "pulling" materials through the shop (Simplified Market Pull), which helped keep inventory levels low and ability to respond to customers high. By incorporating shipping and inventory buffers into scheduling, the system allowed users to protect both customer due dates and constraint resource schedules, as well as protect the availability of raw materials, purchased parts, common subassemblies, replacement parts, and finished goods.
