The Challenge
  • CNC machine downtime averaged 12% (well above the 5-7% industry standard)
  • Quality defects cost $400K annually in rework and scrap
  • Supply chain visibility was non-existent until parts arrived (or didn't)
  • Month-end reporting required 5 full days of manual data compilation from 8 different systems
  • Production planning was reactive rather than proactive
