Press Release Summary = MetaOps and Datacraft Solutions Strategic Alliance Drives
Growth

Press Release Body = According to Stephen Parker, Chairman and CEO, "Datacraft
Solutions' Internet-based on-demand delivery platform offers key benefits from the
very beginning of an implementation - namely, the elimination of lengthy,
complicated and expensive infrastructure upgrades before a company can even begin to
see positive ROI. There is simply no faster or easier way to begin exploiting the
power of Digital Kanban in a lean manufacturing operation."

Ron Crabtree, CPIM, CIRM, is an internationally recognized expert and author in
cutting-edge business process improvement methodologies. Crabtree, President of
MetaOps, has spent several thousand hours providing training and facilitation for
large and small groups, in hundreds of organizations internationally on a wide range
of topics. He has more than thirty years of experience in a variety of business
settings from small privately held manufacturers, to Fortune 100 corporations and
leading global management consulting firms.


Datacraft Solutions, Inc. (www.datacraftsolutions.com) based in Durham, North
Carolina is experiencing huge growth with their Lean Manufacturing Digital Kanban
solution. In addition to exponential growth, the firm has coordinated several
strategic alliances, including MetaOps, based in Livonia, Michigan.


Crabtree is focused on the new strategic alliance with Datacraft Solutions, "Because
I have been benchmarking Lean-enabling technologies for many years and have not seen
anything so easy to launch for businesses of any size to put a kanban/pull systems
implementation on steroids. I especially like the fact that it does not matter what
infrastructure you and your trading partners have - all that is needed is internet
access and a willing team to capitalize on the speed, accuracy and discipline an
IT-enabled kanban management system offers.\"
