Manufacturing
Connecting the plant floor to the systems that plan it — production data, quality and maintenance in one operational picture.
Solution
Digital Transformation
Transformation programmes fail when they are run as technology projects. We sequence them around operational outcomes, delivering measurable change every quarter rather than a platform in eighteen months.
“We have digitised individual departments, but the business still runs on handoffs, spreadsheets and people who know the workaround.”
01Overview
How we think about it
Most organisations are not short of systems. They are short of connection between them — and the gaps are filled by exported spreadsheets, re-keyed data and institutional knowledge held by a handful of people.
We start by mapping where information actually stops moving. That map usually shows two or three chokepoints causing most of the delay and error, which is a far more useful starting point than a platform selection exercise.
Delivery is sequenced so each phase stands on its own. If the programme is paused after two quarters — budgets change — what has already shipped keeps working and keeps returning value.
02The problem
What is going wrong today
Disconnected systems
ERP, CRM, warehouse and finance systems that do not agree, reconciled manually at every period close.
Process held together by people
Critical steps that only work because a specific person knows the sequence and remembers the exceptions.
No reliable operational picture
Reporting that is a week old by the time it is assembled, so decisions are made on instinct.
Change takes too long
A pricing or process change that should take days takes a quarter, because nobody knows what it will break.
03The approach
What we put in place
Operational mapping
Follow real transactions end to end and record where they stop, get re-keyed or wait for a person.
Prioritise by cost of delay
Chokepoints ranked by what they cost in hours, errors and lost revenue — not by which system is oldest.
Integrate the core
Establish one authoritative source per data domain and move information between systems automatically.
Automate the chokepoints
Remove the manual steps that dominate cycle time, with exception handling designed in.
Instrument and iterate
Operational metrics in place so the next priority is identified by data rather than by whoever is loudest.
