SINGLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM®Gemba Symmetry™ · Enterprise Electronic Control SaaS

Patent pending · Enterprise Electronic Control SaaS

Control your enterprise. Don't just record it.

ERP records transactions. Gemba Symmetry™, built on the Single Management System®, controls outcomes. It is designed to meet ISO 9001:2026 paperlessly, with the operating cash flow ratio (OCFR) as the real-time indicator that shows top management and operations whether they are aligned.

OCFR by production runIllustrative chart: each production run is read against the planned OCFR. Runs drift from the green band into amber, one run falls into the red exception zone and opens a corrective action, and the process returns to the green band.Corrective action openedExceptionStrainedIn controlPlanned OCFRStrainedExceptionProduction runs →
Illustrative. Each run is read against its planned OCFR; leaving the band opens corrective action.

The gap

Why organizations need more than ERP

ERP systems record transactions. Quality systems manage compliance. Top management still has to find out, usually after the month closes, whether the business achieved what it intended.

The Single Management System® is the control layer between strategy and the shop floor. It connects strategy, operations, quality, risk, finance and customer performance through one measure, read as production happens. It sits on top of the ERP you already run and draws its data from it. Where there is no ERP or MES, the management system fills the gap.

One system

Every part of the enterprise reads the same barometer

Quality, environment and safety are not separate systems. They are preventive controls in the process, tied to the same objective that strategy and finance are working toward.
