The 10-Day ERP & Operations Diagnostic
A structured, zero-disruption evaluation designed for DACH manufacturing executives. In 10 business days, uncover the exact data disconnects, inventory inaccuracies, and shadow spreadsheets draining your bottom line.
The 10-Day Step-by-Step Methodology
Phase 1: Telemetry & Physical Inspection (Days 1–3)
We walk your machining centers, fabrication bays, and warehouse racks. We observe actual operator shift handovers, terminal booking habits, and compare them with live ERP database transactions.
- Work center booking latency analysis
- Inspection of buffer stock and non-conforming material areas
- Interviews with plant supervisors, schedulers, and CNC machinists
Phase 2: BOM, Routing & Inventory Variance (Days 4–6)
We analyze your multi-level bills of materials and labor routing standards against physical engineering drawings and real machine runtimes.
- Identification of phantom stock items and uncaptured scrap rates
- Work center capacity and setup time calibration
- Inventory reconciliation across raw stock, WIP, and finished goods
Phase 3: Rogue Excel & Shadow IT Quantification (Days 7–8)
Every manufacturing plant has unofficial Excel spreadsheets that bypass the ERP. We catalog, evaluate, and quantify every shadow system in your operation.
- Calculation of weekly shadow spreadsheet maintenance hours
- Identification of single-point-of-failure tribal knowledge
- Risk assessment of manual copy-paste errors on delivery promises
Phase 4: Executive Debrief & 90-Day Roadmap (Days 9–10)
We present our findings directly to the Managing Director, Plant Manager, and CFO with zero consultant jargon and full engineering accountability.
- Delivery of the Executive Diagnostic Report & Root-Cause Matrix
- Quantified EBITDA leakage calculations with target recovery ROI
- Prioritized 90-Day Action Roadmap for immediate execution
