Production Flow Analyzer

Hidden inefficiencies discovered from the event logs the plant already produces: automated process discovery, bottleneck identification, what-if scenario modelling and tracking of every improvement against its baseline.

Why it matters
The number is an engagement target1.

What it changes in the P&L

Throughput at constant cost. The same plant, the same people, more good parts per shift.

How the first weeks go

  1. Take the event logs you already haveERP, MES or the claims system write a timestamp on every step. We read them, nothing new is installed on the floor.
  2. Put a number on every queueProcess discovery shows where the work waits and what each hour of waiting costs. The bottleneck is usually not where people think.
  3. Change one thing and measure itWhat-if scenarios first, then one change in the real process, measured against the baseline. The second change starts when the first number is in.

What stays

Production Flow Analyzer stays after the engagement. The weekly maintenance and production review runs from its numbers, and the records it produces file into the audit trail. Hand-over comes when the number has held for a quarter.

Tell us where it would run and what it would have to change. We will come back with what we would look at first, what the first quarter produces, and what it would take.
