Production systems for mid sized manufacturers
Mid sized plants are often too big for spreadsheets yet a poor fit for large, rigid ERP suites. We build production systems that follow how your plant works.
Problems we run into most often
Materials run out mid production
Purchasing is not tied to the production plan, so machines stop waiting for materials.
Uncertain cost per product
Material, labour, and overhead costs are not allocated to products correctly.
Production progress hidden
Management only learns an order is late when the customer chases it.
Systems we can build
Planning and work orders
Customer orders become production plans and work orders with clear material needs.
