Driving Lean Transformation: AIM to Showcase Smart EDI & CUM Control at 2025 Lean Network Conference

AIM Computer Solutions is proud to join the 2025 Lean Network Conference, taking place May 6–7 in Hamilton, Ohio, as both an exhibitor and workshop presenter. This annual event, hosted by a network of Honda suppliers, brings together manufacturing professionals to share best practices in lean, quality, and continuous improvement. This year’s theme—“The Quality of Lean”—sets the stage for conversations around data-driven supply chain performance.

Supporting Honda Suppliers With Industry-Specific Innovation

For over 30 years, AIM has been helping automotive production part suppliers meet the unique demands of OEM and Tier 1–3 requirements. Our presence at the Lean Network Conference reinforces our commitment to equipping suppliers with tools that support MMOG/LE compliance, IATF 16949 traceability, and end-to-end lean fulfillment.

Whether you’re dealing with EDI backlogs, barcode labeling inconsistencies, or CUM variances, AIM’s Honda-approved solutions—AIM AutoSys, AIM AutoCOR, and AIM Vision ERP—are purpose-built to simplify the complex.
