Two ways to put a number on it, using your data rather than ours
A readiness assessment that scores where you actually are, and a cost calculator that runs entirely on numbers you supply. Neither one asks you to accept an industry benchmark, because for the two figures that matter most nobody publishes a defensible one.
Question 1 of 17 · Capture at the source
How does labor time reach your ERP today?
On paper, keyed later by somebody in the office
Entered by the operator at the end of the shift or the next day
Entered at a terminal during the shift, at the job level
Captured at the operation as it happens, per named operator, setup separated from run
Question 2 of 17 · Capture at the source
If five people work in one area, can you tell who did what?
No. They share a login
Sometimes, by asking the supervisor
Yes at the job level, not at the operation level
Yes, per named operator per operation, including scrap
Question 3 of 17 · Capture at the source
How does the floor find out what to run next?
A printed list, sometimes from yesterday
A supervisor tells them
A screen in the office that operators can walk to
A live sequence at the point of work that updates when the plan changes
Question 4 of 17 · Information to the work
How confident are you that the revision at the machine is the released revision, right now?
Not confident. We have been burned
Fairly confident, because people are careful
Confident for most work centers
It is not possible to run a stale revision, because nothing is holding a copy
Question 5 of 17 · Information to the work
How long does it take to produce every document behind one shipped job for an auditor?
Days, and we would be nervous
A day, with two people looking
An hour or two
Minutes, from the job record
Question 6 of 17 · Answers and definitions
Who can answer a new operational question without asking IT?
Nobody. Every new question is a report request
One person, and they are busy
A few managers, in the reports that already exist
Anyone with access, drilling from the record they are looking at
Question 7 of 17 · Answers and definitions
When two departments bring numbers to a meeting, do they agree?
No, and we spend the first part of the meeting on it
Usually not exactly, and we split the difference
Mostly, because one source is treated as official
Yes. One set of published definitions everyone drills into
Question 8 of 17 · Answers and definitions
When can you see whether a job made money?
After the period closes, and then we reconstruct it
A week or two after the job finishes
Shortly after close, with drill down
While the job is still open, against the quote
Question 9 of 17 · Machine truth
How do you know how a machine spent its hours yesterday?
We do not, beyond what somebody remembers
From what the operator declared on the labor transaction
A monitoring tool on some of the machines
State read off every asset, all hours accounted for, categorized to a standard
Question 10 of 17 · Machine truth
When a machine goes down, what happens to the reason?
Nothing is recorded
Written on a board or in a notebook
Entered into a system later, if somebody remembers
Captured live, coded, and tied to the job it interrupted
Question 11 of 17 · Machine truth
Can you say what an hour of downtime on your constraint costs?
No
We could estimate it
Yes, roughly, once a quarter
Yes, per machine, per event category, continuously
Question 12 of 17 · Quality and change
Where do nonconformances and corrective actions live?
Documents and spreadsheets, per person
A shared spreadsheet or folder with a naming convention
A separate quality system that we sync to the ERP
On the work order, in the same system as labor and machine data
Question 13 of 17 · Quality and change
When scrap is reported at an operation, what happens next?
It books as a variance and nobody is notified
Someone notices at the end of the week
Quality gets an email or a call
A disposition opens by itself, on the job record
Question 14 of 17 · Planning and capacity
Does your schedule reflect real capacity?
No. The plan assumes infinite capacity and expediting absorbs the difference
Partly, for the constraint work centers
Yes, and we maintain the model
Yes, with finite scheduling fed by actuals from the floor, and what-if in a sandbox
Question 15 of 17 · Planning and capacity
Do your schedulers trust the data they plan with?
No, and they keep their own spreadsheet
They trust some of it
Mostly, with known exceptions
Yes, and planning performance is measured against input quality
Question 16 of 17 · Data readiness
How accurate are your routings and standards?
We know several are wrong and have not fixed them
Broadly right, with known exceptions nobody has time for
Reviewed within the last two years
Reconciled against what the floor actually does, with an owner
Question 17 of 17 · Data readiness
How current is your ERP version?
Several releases behind and it is a known problem
A release or two behind
Current, or upgrading now
Current, on a maintained cadence
