Let's Assess Your Operation

Step 1 of 3

1

How many people work on your shop floor?

Include operators, technicians, and production staff across all shifts.

2

How many hrs/day do supervisors spend on planning & reporting?

Scheduling, shift reports, coordination meetings, status updates.

3

This helps us calculate the cost savings from efficiency improvements.

4

How many quality checks are performed daily?

All inspections, audits, and quality control activities across your operation.

20-40%

of manufacturing capacity is wasted on rework, scrap, and inefficiency — a 'hidden factory' inside every plant.

3.5hrs/day

is what the average supervisor spends on manual data collection, reporting, and chasing information across departments.

23%

of unplanned downtime goes unrecorded in paper-based systems, making root cause analysis nearly impossible.

$1.43

is the average carrying cost per dollar of inventory. Excess WIP and finished goods silently erode margins.

47%

of process knowledge lives only in people's heads. When they leave, your operational expertise walks out the door.

14months

is the average payback period for digital lean implementations. Most see measurable results within 90 days.

The stats above represent industry averages across modern manufacturing and processing facilities.
