Press Release Summary = Datacraft Solutions' Signum Creates Intelligent
Replenishment Supply Chain

Press Release Body = Ken McGuire from MEAC noted, "\"Why would any true LEAN
Manufacturer invest big money in software for managing Kanbans when what they really
need is an effective Kanban communications service? The evidence is mounting against
the \'elusive\' systems with ERP integration many IT people are promising and hoping
for. When they are finally achieved, if ever, they are found to be largely
unnecessary and wasteful administrative boondoggles. Forrester Research found that
only 41% of business executives at large manufacturing and distribution companies
have realized any perceptible ROI from implementing Supply Chain Systems.\"

The Datacraft Solutions' digital kanban product, Signum, received raves from Jim
Malch, Director of Operations, Pacific Scientific, EKD: \"Pacific Scientific
Electro-Kinetics is excited over the short-term results achieved with Signum in just
4 months. PS/EKD has forecasted a minimum of 20% increase in inventory turns by
year-end, and we\'ve seen a reduction in the transactional processes that were
necessary in the FAX Release system Signum replaced.\"

A Materials Manager from a Tier 1 automotive supplier noted the impact of Digital
Kanban technology from Durham, NC based Datacraft Solutions: \"We scan over 5000
cards a day, have just added 1500 parts from out tool crib, and have had zero part
shortages since going live 3 months ago. Our inventory has reduced by approximately
$2,000,000.\"
