SherTrack LLC, a venture backed company, was founded in 2002 to develop advanced methods and solutions for Lean manufacturing based on large-scale empirical research on customer demand. This research established that the combination of predictive analytics based on demand pattern recognition and statistical process control precepts would be effective in managing customer demand and determining the optimal system response.
SherTrack’s innovative predictive analytic solutions enable demand-driven (Lean) manufacturing in complex production environments and deliver competitive advantage through best-in-class service (OTD), production efficiency (OEE) and total throughput.
In complex manufacturing operations, continuous improvement initiatives are particularly challenged by the multivariate and non-linear relationships in plants with multiple production lines and tens or hundreds of product items. SNAPPS™ digital models and discreet event simulation provide sophisticated analytical tools that enable the application of advanced Six Sigma techniques such as design-of-experiments (DOE) to truly master these complex production processes.
