01 · Diagnose · Operations & Data Diagnostics
A fact-based baseline of your product and supply chain operations: how mature your processes are, how far you can trust your data, and where lead time and cost are lost. Led by a partner, built on evidence.
The problem
Without a shared baseline, priorities follow opinion and technology gets bought to fix symptoms.
Every function has its own theory of what is broken. Without one baseline, the loudest voice sets the priorities.
Duplicate parts, incomplete supplier records and spreadsheet BOMs undermine every system and AI initiative built on top of them.
Much of the lead time sits in queues and handoffs between teams, not in the work itself, and it rarely shows up in a system report.
What we do
Benchmark process, data, technology and organisation against industry best practice, function by function.
Profile the product, supplier and master data your operations run on, and how ready it is for PLM, ERP and AI.
Trace how a product, a change or an order actually flows from concept to customer.
Turn the findings into a prioritised backlog with the value at stake for each item.
How we engage
Agree scope, sponsors and interviewees. Issue data requests early so analysis starts on day one.
Interviews, workshops, floor walks and data profiling across the functions in scope.
Score maturity, map value streams and size the opportunities with your teams, not behind closed doors.
Present a prioritised backlog and the case for change to leadership, with a clear next step.
Platforms
Vendor-neutral by design. We assess the landscape you have today, whatever it includes.
Transaction and shop-floor data for value stream analysis
Product data quality and change process maturity
Often where the real process lives, so we look there too
Industries
CAD-to-BOM, configuration, engineering change and MBOM to shop floor.
ManufacturingRecipes, batch genealogy, quality specs and plant-to-ERP integration.
Life sciencesFormulation, specification and change control with GxP traceability.
ConsumerRecipe and pack management, artwork approval and rapid SKU launches.
MarineEngineer-to-order BOMs, design-to-yard handover and multi-year programs.
EnergyAsset and equipment data, engineering change and regulatory documentation.
FAQ
It depends on scope. A focused assessment of one value stream is much shorter than an enterprise-wide maturity assessment across several sites. We agree scope and timeline up front in the proposal.
No. The diagnostic is vendor-neutral and normally comes before platform selection, so the decision is based on your processes and data rather than a demo.
Time with process owners for interviews and workshops, sample data extracts, and a sponsor who can make decisions on priorities.
Yes. The same data issues that block AI also slow down PLM and ERP projects. Knowing them early saves rework during implementation.
You own the findings. The natural next step is a technology landscape and roadmap, but there is no obligation to continue with us.
