ZOOMS and Class A

Managing manufacturing organizations is not easy. And a lot of our customers look towards proven methodologies for achieving higher levels of operational excellence. So be it the Toyota Production System (TPS), Theory of Contraints (TOC), or business excellence programs like Oliver Wight’s Class A, there are things that we as vendors must understand about what our customers are trying to do. In some cases, customers set the same expectations on us.

We at Zymergi like building these directly into our technology. For instance, Class A calls for “One Set of Numbers to Run the Business.” And from this One Set of Numbers, our customers want a single version of the truth. Our customers buy manufacturing control systems, enterprise resource planning systems for the One Set of Numbers, but we think the system is only half the battle. To get from One Set of Numbers to a Single Version of the Truth, the systems must be usable. The systems must be accessible.

So a product like ZOOMS is designed with both usability and accessibility against great systems like OSIsoft’s PI system. PI is the One Set of Numbers to run your plant. ZOOMS -through its usability – makes PI into your Single Version of the Truth.

Another no-brainer is having “A Passion for Simplification.” Simplification results in lower costs, higher speed, better communication, greater process predictability, better quality, higher agility, increased flexibility, and better results. And there is nothing more simple than a text-box and a search button… again, a proven idea from the internet world, that we design straight into our products.

The key to the success of our products is helping customers achieve higher levels of operational and business excellence. And we design these principles straight into products like ZOOMS
