Tool Sprawl Risk Audit — Manufacturing
Find out how much spreadsheet and SaaS sprawl is costing Manufacturing — and where a purpose-built internal tool pays off.
Signs of tool sprawl in Manufacturing
- Production schedules live in spreadsheets while ERP data lags 24-48 hours behind reality.
- Quality issues are caught at final inspection instead of in-line; scrap and rework costs are climbing year over year.
- Maintenance is mostly reactive; unplanned downtime is the single biggest hit to OEE.
- Tribal knowledge sits with senior operators who are retiring faster than you can document their work.
