Underutilization of Machines: Many factories struggle to maintain 80% or higher machine utilization, leading to inefficiencies in production.
Inconsistent Demand:Fluctuating seasonal orders and amendments to minimum order quantities (MOQs) create planning difficulties, increasing the cost per piece
Inaccurate Planning:Current planning methods, such as spreadsheets, offer only 20-30% accuracy, leading to missed deadlines and overspending on labor
Fixed Workforce Costs:Factories maintain a constant workforce despite order fluctuations, leading to excess costs when production doesn’t meet planned targets
