Press Release Summary = Demand Driven Supply Chain Networks Success Elements Defined

Press Release Body = Demand Driven Supply Chain Networks (DDSCN), by default it
incorporates the kanban process. Kanban is but a small piece of the process which
is essential to a successful supply chain.

The key pieces to success in DDSCN:
1. The data is captured as to the consumption from the customer based upon the
pulling of the raw materials from the kanbans.
2. Actual demand Information is captured and generated via reports.
a. The reports need to be focused on what are the key indicators as to the impacts
on the customers lead time.
b. Who and what are the causing the impacts.
c. What are the areas that are creating waste within the value chain.
3. Based on this data you are now able to better optimize the overall process.

According to Datacraft Solutions' Chairman and CEO Stephen Parker, "We enable
companies to sign up using our "software as a service" (SaaS) model and gain
immediate realized value and visibility to their supply chain. We provide them with
the most optimum platform to create and maintain their Demand Driven Supply Chain
Networks."

Datacraft Solutions enables companies of any size to gain full and unbiased
visibility within their supply chain. Companies utilizing a Demand Driven Supply
Chain Network are able to realized immediate value no matter the direction within
the value chain from which they start. This critical lean technology is all about
the demand/pull which starts from the customer and drives the whole supply chain for
the organization.

to mid-sized companies. Datacraft Solutions provides solutions that allow even the
smallest companies to remain competitive, without having to incur costly IT
expenses.
