Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009

* PartnerSource Required *

Microsoft, over the weekend, has released the RTM version of the Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009.

I did a post, back in the spring, when the pre-release was done.:
Pre-release of Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX

You can download the release, from PartnerSource from the following direct link.:
Microsoft Releases, Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009

From the overview.:
"Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics® AX 2009 can help manufacturing organizations implement, energize, and sustain lean manufacturing initiatives by delivering the tools and information support needed to streamline processes, reduce waste, enable demand-pull operations, and promote continuous improvement. As part of the Microsoft Dynamics AX solution, robust lean manufacturing functionality complements the solution’s comprehensive customer relationship, financial, collaboration, and supply chain management capabilities to help manufacturers increase efficiency and profitability and gain a competitive advantage."

And it's very important to understand the base modules and requirements to run this.:

• Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 with Service Pack 1


• License keys for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Production I and Master Planning modules


• Lean Manufacturing for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 installs into the SL1 layer. You should not have any other products installed in the SL1 layer.

So must be SP1, have Prod I and MRP, as well as nothing in SL1 already. Dr. Scott, who's book release in April I did a post about, Managing Your Supply Chain Using Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 - Book Review, is coming out with a new book focusing on this topic for Dynamics AX 2009. (Expect a review and interview here on this blog.)

Well that's all for now, check back soon!
