We couldn't calculate exact product costs quickly or plan production smoothly, leading to expensive machine downtime and bloated warehouse inventory levels.
Final results
We cut cost calculations to just one day, reduced machine downtime by 20%, and slashed excess warehouse stock by a clean 15%.
Key stages
Six weeks total: one week studying the floor, two weeks digitizing material consumption, two weeks building calculation rules, and one week testing.
Resources used
We built a team straight from operations: the financial analysts, the main planning desk, the technical specialists, and the line supervisors.
