Press Release Summary: Average Daily Demand Impacts Digital Kanban

Press Release Body: Datacraft Solutions, Inc. announces new Kanban card-level
calculation functionality, "Daily Demand Import Interface" (DDII). Using the DDII
tool allows customers to quickly and easily upload new "Average Daily Demand" to
Signum and to recalculate card set levels in mass. Once the new demand is uploaded
to Signum, production card levels are automatically reset and new Kanban cards are
ready for printing.

The DDII web application has three major components: Import Demand, Calculation
Reports, and Print Cards

. Import Demand: Allows users to modify and upload new card set information into
Data craft Solutions' pull-based Kanban solution, Signum. Users are able to download
current card set information and make changes to such information as minimum reorder
quantities and delivery schedules and then upload these changes to Signum.

. Calculation Reports: The "calculation reports" interface provides users with the
ability to see all of their uploaded and processed demand data. The data is
processed and validated. Valid data is accepted and any errors are flagged for users
to review, correct and resubmit.


. Print Cards: The "print cards" component enables users to print new cards for any
card-sets modified during a DDII session.

"This feature provides alternative sources for inputs necessary to derive optimal
inventory levels for large numbers of parts or card sets within the existing
product base. In many organizations the groundwork for what needs to be built, in
what quantities, and by when has already been analyzed. Datacraft's new and
exciting approach to our initial unique "Intelligent Load Leveling" ability to
upload/import this data into our system is essential for managing the need for
replenishment and on-hand balances required to accommodate defined or changing
schedules," said Data craft Solutions' CEO, Stephen Parker.
