cyn.in for Manufacturing

cyn.in helps manufacturing companies handle product compliance and lifecycle management for improving efficiency and profitability.

cyn.in's collaborative solutions are apt for sharing manufacturing process data across departments to achieve compliance requirements, reduce cost in production and faster time to market their products.

Collaboration Requirements for the Manufacturing

Manufacturing and Engineering

The manufacturing department must work closely together with engineering. New product development must be brought to production. The overhead and delays in managing changes to existing products must be reduced as they are published by the engineering department and transferred into the manufacturing process.

Logistics and Purchasing

Collaboration between logistics and purchasing is crucial for just-in-time production. Supply chain management for production must ensure that the right amount of material is in the right place at the right time

Quality Assurance

QA is critical to manufacturing process. Test reports and other documents must be made available throughout the company and its suppliers to fulfill compliance issues. Once ISO certified, companies must be able to maintain that certification with little or no overhead increase.

Product Development and Planning

Product related unstructured data that is increasing exponentially is spread across different silos. Typically, there is little or no integration with structured product information.

Challenges faced by manufacturing

High inventory turns

The biggest challenge is increasing manufacturing speed, flexibility and reaction to market demands for new product innovations. Continuous control or reductions of costs along with maintaining high product quality with few or no returns or repairs is a challenge.

Reducing costs

Shorter cycle times make processes more flexible and responsive to change. The highest single cost in manufacturing a product is the human expense. A shorter process cycle results in higher worker productivity, faster development and production and higher responsiveness to change.

Reducing time to market

Ensuring compliance reduces time to market by making the management and control of key documents in heavily regulated industries secure, efficient and compliant with relevant regulations. Integrated change requests, documents and CAD master storage and archiving with full audit trails is complicated and expensive.

Compliance challenges

Manufacturing enterprises are expected to adhere to strict product compliance requirements besides facing globalization challenges and stiff international competition. Compliance covers Environmental and regulatory (IEEE, ISO, FDA, OSHA, TREAD, SOX) and operational (Six Sigma& TQM) areas.

How cyn.in helps the manufacturing department solve its problems

Build an easy exchange of information platform

  • Create and publish the products specifications, product performance ranges, acceptable assembly & standard operating procedures
  • Organize a system for using cyn.in to manage changes and maintain full audit trails with archival facilities
  • Build a compliance storehouse that manages, controls & distributes key documents in heavily regulated industries

Collaborate instantly between critical manufacturing divisions

  • Teams can continuously work together with their suppliers to minimize duplication and waste
  • Achieve scalable and permissioned collaboration globally
  • Manage a workflow to deliver appropriate information to the selected people in the approved order for their suggestions or approval.
  • Fine tune change notifications of the engineering and manufacturing processes to help reduce expenditure.
  • Dramatically reduce timelines internally and with external organizations as well

Manage Intra-department and common company data fluently

  • Compliance information that comes from different sources can be gathered, organized and archived or developed into workflows in an efficient manner.
  • Manage and retrieve company-wide retention policies for all customer records, product data and documents
  • Protect collaborative results between departments, divisions, teams, projects, customers & suppliers
  • Build a country-specific regulatory compliance repository with access to departments related to those regulations, with constant updation.

Publish information for easy employee consumption

  • Publish information for collaboration for inter-departmental, inter-divisional, inter-company and inter-supplier usage
  • Cut down on paper processing and filing storage by publishing on cyn.in
  • Publish and share information with all departments related to product life cycle ranging from design, construction & production
  • Securely distribute test & product trial documentation to all concerned groups and its suppliers to ensure optimum Quality Assurance for products
  • Teams work collaboratively to oversee quick changes to the product life cycle as required.

Why should manufacturing use cyn.in?

Secure global access to information, cyn.in can be accessed from any location.

This works remarkably well for large organizations in the manufacturing sector whose workforce is spread all over the globe

Strict sharing rights and group Management

cyn.in has sharply defined user rights system which allows the administrator to clearly demarcate roles to the users in the system.

Significantly increase Return on investment

cyn.in supports efficient methodologies of lean manufacturing and product compliance. Assuring product compliance to corporate and customer standards at the design & manufacturing stages reduces re-work.

Changes to processes

The change request workflow is powered by members who can review, comment on and approve the request.

Streamlining manufacturing processes

and make improvements based on feedback from engineering, QA, customers, service departments.

Collaborating for QA standards

Quality Assurance programs are critical to the Manufacturing process and need to be certified to industry standards for global markets. Test reports and other documents need to be available to all departments and suppliers to ensure standards are met.

Using a combination of processes like integrated change request, documents and CAD master storage and archiving, full audit trails, best practice and continuous process improvements, manufacturers can reduce the time to market their products.
