Typical challenges in manufacturing
Manufacturing companies operate with thin margins, complex supply chains and strict quality standards. Without real-time insight, you quickly lose control. Common questions include:
- How much does waste cost us, and where does it occur?
- What is the actual OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of our machines?
- How do we efficiently monitor defects, downtime and scrap?
- How do we manage lead times and delivery reliability?
- Which products or lines contribute most to our margins?
Our solution: insight and action
With the InsightData Apps, you integrate data from ERP, MES, inventory and planning systems into ready-to-use dashboards.
- OEE analysis: availability, performance and quality per line or machine
- Waste and scrap: insights into scrap rates and defects per production line
- Lead time & capacity: tracking orders, bottlenecks and waiting times
- Cost control: visibility of labor costs, machine hours and material usage
- Quality management: trace errors or deviations per batch or order
- Forecasting: predict production volumes and resource needs based on demand and trends
This allows you to take proactive action and continuously improve your production process.
