Manufacturing Operations

Production management, systems, and operational improvement.

We help manufacturing companies run better — through improved production processes, the right systems, cleaner data, and more consistent quality.

What this covers

Manufacturing operations is more than software.

Improving manufacturing operations involves production planning, flow, quality systems, and shop floor performance. The starting point is always a process or performance challenge — what systems are needed follows from that.

We work across this range: from hands-on production improvement through system selection and implementation, to connecting shop floor data to ERP and PLM. The focus is on changes that hold up in practice, not just on paper.

Service areas

Five areas of manufacturing operations support

Manufacturing Process Planning

Defining how products will be made — from process routes and assembly sequences through tooling, fixtures, and the factory layout that makes production flow reliably from the start.

  • Process route and assembly sequence definition
  • Factory layout and flow design
  • Tooling and fixture planning
  • New product introduction (NPI) manufacturing planning
  • Capacity studies and investment cases
  • Line conversion and industrialization support

Production Management & Planning

Improving how production is planned, scheduled, and managed — from capacity and flow analysis through daily production routines and performance follow-up.

  • Capacity analysis and production planning
  • Production flow and line balancing
  • Scheduling and order management
  • Shift management and follow-up routines
  • Production performance metrics

Quality & Traceability

Improving quality systems and building the traceability that customers and regulations increasingly require — without creating unnecessary overhead.

  • Quality control at station level
  • Non-conformance management
  • Production traceability and serialization
  • Batch and component tracking
  • Audit and regulatory requirements

Shop Floor Performance & OEE

Understanding where production losses come from and making systematic improvements — through data, structured problem-solving, and operator involvement.

  • OEE measurement and analysis
  • Downtime categorization and loss analysis
  • Machine and production data collection
  • Improvement projects and kaizen support
  • Shift and operator performance reporting

Production Data & System Integration

Connecting shop floor data to the rest of the business — so that production results, quality data, and actual costs flow to ERP and PLM without manual re-entry.

  • Shop floor to ERP integration
  • Production order and BOM synchronization
  • Actual vs. planned reporting
  • Digital thread from engineering to production
  • Data quality and governance
