iQ Manufacturing Analysis answers your most important questions

What manufacturing processes can be most improved?
Each manufacturing process is grouped and linked with drill down capability, to their corresponding shift and manager, machine and location, customer, industry and process type which will typically be shown on a single screen to provide multidimensional reporting and analysis.

What is the source of all my wastage and how can I accurately measure improvement?
View wastage from an aggregate level with drill down available by numerous dimensions. Make process improvements with subsequent wastage targets and accurately track improvements over time to display exactly how much changes in your processes have saved the company in both time and materials.

How can I accurately track improvements to OEE overtime?
Track Overall Equipment Effectiveness(OEE) not only by machine but allow managers to slice OEE by shift and team to discover easy ways to improve important success metrics. OEE can also be tied to the GL to calculate a true ROI on any capital expenditure.

What in the actual average lead time for our jobs? Can that be improved?
In an effort to reduce E&O inventory, companies can track and reduce lead times, leading to improved customer service and lower inventory levels.
