Scheduling
Production depends on one spreadsheet
Machine availability, materials, order priority and labour constraints are reconciled manually by the person who knows the file.
Quality
Checks stay on paper
Floor records are captured on clipboards and entered again later, reducing visibility and adding another opportunity for error.
Maintenance
The alert is the breakdown
Run hours, service history and condition data are not brought together early enough to support planned intervention.
Supply chain
Supplier visibility lives in calls and email
Orders, lead times and material availability are chased manually, leaving production teams without one trusted view.
