What's slowing manufacturers down

Reliable systems, accurate numbers and infrastructure that stays up - across the plant, the warehouse and the back office. Where that breaks down, it usually looks like one of these four:

Legacy ERP that nobody left can support

The system still works, but the people who knew how it was built have retired and the workarounds have become the process. Every change request turns into a project, and the risk sits with one or two individuals rather than with the business.

Shopfloor data disconnected from finance

Production knows what it made and finance knows what it cost, but the two only meet at month end - after someone has rekeyed it into a spreadsheet. By the time the true margin on a job is visible, the next batch has already been quoted on last quarter's assumptions.

Supply chain volatility and stock accuracy

Lead times move, prices move, and the stock figure on screen doesn't match what's on the racking. Planners buffer to protect the line, so cash sits in inventory you may not need while the parts you do need are still short.

OT/IT convergence and downtime risk

Production equipment is now on the network, often running software that can't be patched on the same cycle as the office estate. An incident doesn't just cost data - it stops the line, and increasingly your customers want evidence that it won't.
