This E-Guide features two articles from our editorial team on advice for implementing lean manufacturing templates, and how to prepare your current enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for a more efficient and less wasteful environment. 

This paper illustrates how IFS Applications support lean principles, particularly in the many manufacturing environments that require both rate-based and order-based shop floor execution. This hybrid approach lets you go lean step by step, as you are able, not because an inflexible system forces you to do so. 

Nissen Chemitec America has utilized several different systems to manage enterprise operations but these systems weren’t designed to meet the specific needs of automotive injection molding suppliers.

Lean software development and deployment should figure prominently in every organization’s IT strategy. The growing pervasiveness of virtual and cloud environments makes the need even more urgent.  Read this paper to learn why your peers are replacing JEE containers with lean, lightweight application servers - and what you can gain from the move. 

This white paper presents a thorough understanding of what overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is, how it works, and the countless benefits that result from its use. Also discover tools that enable you to accurately measure OEE so you have a clear picture of how it's improving your process efficiencies. 

This paper examines the impact of de-duplication in a disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup and recovery environment. 

To get leaner and more cost-efficient, many automotive and industrial manufacturers are working to improve their systems and processes. 

St. Thomas University needed to do something to shorten their backup windows and make everything more reliable and more robust, so they chose Quantum DXi™ appliance. 

In this paper, explore how solid-state storage (SSS) can help narrow the gap between server and storage performance. View now to explore the different types of SSS and the benefits of each.   

AIG major business challenge was the rapid access to archive data so to overcome this problem AIG tried Quantum backup solutions that combined data de-duplication disk, tape, due to which the company is now able to enhance compliance.
