Products - Chiron Technologies is focused on software and services integral to the supply chain. We specialize in solutions that automate the design, execution and measurement of material storage, material flow, material handling, inventory management, and human resource optimization down to the task level.

Design - Distribution, warehouse, and manufacturing facility layout requires clear thinking about the details of what material will flow through the building , where it will be stored, it's point of use, storage media required, demand, etc. In a new facility, a design can be built from scratch; in an existing one, many constraints, e.g., floor space and storage media will limit the possibilities. Integrating many data elements to address these issues for hundreds or thousands of SKU's is at best tedious and at worst, misleading. Minimizing costs and maximizing customer service levels are key objectives.

i-Lean - Provides an analysis and decision support platform to solve these problems. i-Lean is a truly unique analysis and design system that takes the guesswork out of implementing a pull inventory model for manufacturing and warehousing settings. Based on years of industry, academic, and National Science Foundation research, i-Lean makes it possible to perform detailed financial comparisons of different material flow, storage options, and slotting for thousands of SKU's simultaneously - a breakthrough technology leading to higher inventory velocity, reduced costs, and improved customer service. i-Lean integrates dozens of variables that characterize your operation and SKU domain to recommend optimal solutions. i-Lean's "what if" capabilities provide you with the capability to run, modify, and compare multiple scenarios rapidly. (As an alternative to purchasing the i-Lean Product consider the Material Flow Design Service where our experts will model your environment.)
 


Maintenance and Support - A great design is not much good without the means to keep it current and support it operationally.

i-Lean Maintenance - Is an option that entitles you to software upgrades beyond the warranty period. In addition to any required software patches, we will provide enhancements on a periodic basis. As our R&D program spawns new i-Lean capabilities, you enjoy the rewards. As a valued customer, your feedback will be an important input to the development program.

i-Lean Support - In addition to the hands-on training we provide when you purchase i-Lean, you may purchase on-going support to help you take advantage of i-Lean's advanced capabilities. Available on an hourly basis or in larger blocks of time, this support will help you solve even the most challenging design problems. This support can also be provided in the form of consultation for your inventory management projects.


Systems Integration - Implicit in Chiron's product design philosophy is synergy with your applications. i-Lean is designed to be integrated into the broader context of existing applications used to support your business. We are particularly motivated to excel at providing robust interfacing solutions to external applications; weak or poorly managed interfaces can cripple the smooth information flow required to execute your business processes.
