1. Delays, Missing Deadlines with Customers:
This is perhaps the biggest “nightmare” for production managers. Without a real-time monitoring system, tracking the progress of each stage becomes extremely difficult. This leads to:
* Difficulty identifying bottlenecks: Not knowing which stage is delayed, causing a chain reaction to the entire process.
* Wasted time: Employees spend a lot of time on manual reporting, instead of focusing on production.
* Missing deadlines with customers: The company’s reputation is severely affected, losing its competitive advantage.
2. Difficulty Controlling Errors, Fluctuating Quality:
Product quality control becomes “blurred” without a tight monitoring system. Manufacturing errors may not be detected in time, leading to:
* Increased scrap rate: Waste of raw materials, increased production costs.
* Difficulty tracing root causes: Not knowing where the error originated, due to which factors (machinery, people, materials…).
* Damage to brand reputation: Poor quality products reach customers, causing distrust.
3. Lack of Transparency, “Needle in a Haystack” Decisions:
A Manufacturing Execution System provides visual, accurate data on all activities. Without this system, businesses face:
* “Fake” information: Manual reporting data is often delayed, inaccurate, making decision-making difficult.
* Difficulty evaluating performance: Not knowing which employees, machines are performing efficiently and need improvement.
* Decisions based on emotions: Lacking real-world data, management decisions are often subjective and high-risk.
