Material Planning

Manage All Your Materials While Maintaining Lean Inventory Levels

To reach lean manufacturing goals within your company, lean planning capabilities are vital.

Contributed to our lean initiatives

We’ve used Doc-Trak for SyteLine to document service notes, inspection instructions, part specifications, drawings, engineering change notices and more. Users have access to the full history associated with manufacturing a part without leaving their desk. These time and cost-saving principles have contributed to our lean initiatives at Hayes.
