FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Spectra Goes Live With
Intranet Business Intelligence Tools
Manufacturing Process
is Streamlined
Spectra, Inc.
of Hanover, NH a world leader in print-head technology has given their
employees new tools in order to improve their access to critical
information.
Utilizing
the Cognos enterprise business intelligence tools, Spectra has addressed
the information needs of Finance, Engineering, Customer Service, and
Purchasing. The most beneficial so far however has been the Impromptu Web
Reports application built for one of Spectra's state-of-the-art clean
rooms. In a clean environment, information must be provided on-line
because the use of printers is taboo. Spectra wanted to increase the flow
of parts through their Kanban cells, and that meant increasing the flow
of information.
Spectra
and Christopher S. Greaney Consulting constructed an Impromptu Web
Reports, Bill of Material navigation method that allows the manufacturing
cell to immediately view any level of the bill of material for an
assembly. In addition, the user can see what is in inventory, available,
or on order, for parts at any level. Drill through to details is used if
the user needs to look at individual purchase orders, or inventory
warehouses, and locations.
"Shortages
can be a problem in any manufacturing environment, and we felt this was a
way to avoid this by providing proactive information to our manufacturing
cell", said Richard Rogers, Director of Information Technology.
"Feedback about the information and the tools has been
overwhelmingly positive."
