Smart Modular Technologies, an independent manufacturer of memory modules and solid-state storage products, has deployed Serus' Lean Inventory Optimisation Network (LION) solution, to manage operations supporting multiple contract manufacturing customers, says TMCnet.

"Global supply chain operations are key to business, so it is imperative that we have real-time data that helps aid in the process of making critical decisions," says Alan Marten, senior vice-president and GM of Smart Modular's Memory Business Unit.

"That's where LION comes in. Ultimately, these decisions benefit customers. Our deployment of the Serus' LION suite not only enhances what we believe is an IT infrastructure to better serve customers, but it also helps us maintain overall operational excellence."
