Manufacturing · Nothing exists yet
You only see the shop floor at the end of the day.
Production monitoring run on the public Kanban Digital methodology: actual progress, workstation by workstation, as it happens.
01 · The situation
“We find out we’ve fallen behind the next morning, when the paper sheets come back.”
02 · What it costs you today
A shop floor you only see after the fact is run by catching up: you find the bottleneck once the work in progress has piled up, and replanning costs more than the delay itself.
The hidden cost is the promise to the customer: without actual progress data, a delivery date is an estimate, not a commitment.
03 · What we deliver
What it is
- Actual progress reported from the floor, workstation by workstation
- Work in progress and bottlenecks visible hour by hour
- Deviations from the plan flagged when they appear, not the next day
- A public method, Kanban Digital, that your teams can take on themselves
What it is not
- A production management package
- A tool for monitoring people
- A dashboard fed by hand
- A licence to rent
04 · The first step
Scoping
One line, made visible
Two days on site, with the people who produce. We take one line or one cell, describe the actual flow and write the scope of the monitoring to put into service.
Duration
2 to 3 weeks, including 2 days on site
Deliverable
The written scope and its price
Scope
1 line or 1 cell
Preceded by a free thirty-minute call. The price of scoping is stated before we start; the fixed price of the first increment is given once scoping is complete.
05 · What comes next
Monitoring extends line by line, each priced before it starts. We then maintain it as your product ranges change.

07 · The questions we are asked
“Our operators won’t enter anything more.”
That is the design constraint, not an obstacle: anything not already recorded somewhere stays out of scope.
“We already have an ERP.”
It holds the production order, rarely the actual progress. Monitoring plugs into it; it doesn’t replace it.
