What is changing in Manufacturing

The pressures we hear from leadership teams in this sector, and the ones the work below answers.

  • Data split between ERP and the floor

    Production, inventory and finance report different numbers, and month-end turns into a reconciliation exercise.

  • Margins squeezed by input costs

    Energy and material swings leave no room for hidden waste in planning or procurement.

  • Supply chains need visibility

    Shipping and supplier documents still arrive by email and wait for manual entry.

  • Skilled people are scarce

    Engineers and planners spend hours on reporting that should run on its own.

How we help in Production Optimization

The capabilities behind our work here. Open one to see what you get, how to start and the result it moved.

We reconstruct how the process actually runs from the event logs your systems already write. The gap between that and the documented process is usually where the money is.

Ways to start in Production Optimization

Fixed-scope first steps we have run against exactly this kind of problem.

  • Start here

    Automation Discovery Sprint

    Four weeks. We measure what your process costs today and hand back a ranked backlog, including the candidates we tell you not to automate.

    Duration
    4 weeks
    What you keep
    The backlog and the maps are yours whether or not you continue with us.

  • Diagnostic

    Process Mining Diagnostic

    Six weeks of event-log evidence answering where the cost actually sits, often upstream of the process you were told to fix.

    Duration
    6 weeks
    What you keep
    The mined model is yours, platform licence or not.

Bring us one process in Production Optimization. We will tell you what it would take.

Not a proposal: a straight read on whether it is worth changing, what it costs and where it usually goes wrong in this sector.
