Challenge	A Vice President of Operations for a US-based electronics manufacturer found his team struggling to identify opportunities to improve their business. Turf wars were common, as were racks of components waiting for rework and retesting. Bright, motivated engineers worked independently to optimize their domain. In doing so, they competed with each other for resources, missed common problems that spanned their areas of responsibility, and were unable to prioritize the most important issues for the entire organization. The organization lacked timely, accurate, unbiased visibility into the performance of the entire manufacturing floor. The VP envisioned a single standard to aggregate, contextualize, analyze, and visualize manufacturing performance in real time. Read More
