Mold manufacturing, plastic injection, and process-heavy production, where a single late hand-off cascades down the line.
- Production status lives on the shop floor, in heads and on paper
- Hand-offs between design, tooling, production and quality lose context
- Cost per order is reconstructed after the fact, if at all
- Rework and delays are visible only once they have already happened
- One live model of every order across design, tooling, production and QA
- Each hand-off carries its context, SLA and owner
- Cost accrues on the case as work happens, not in a month-end spreadsheet
- Bottlenecks surface while they can still be acted on
