The 58-Question Factory Analysis

The First Step of the Transformation: an Accurate Diagnosis and a Measurable Roadmap

Every factory has its own dynamics, chronic problems and potential for improvement. That is why we do not offer ready-made recipes: we begin the transformation journey by laying out your factory's current state in full.

With the original 58-Question Factory Analysis we have developed over the years, we hold a mirror up to your production and your operation.

How Does the Analysis Proceed?

The Factory Analysis is not a superficial assessment or a classic questionnaire. It is carried out on the shop floor, within your factory's natural flow of work:

Shop-Floor Observation
Production lines, material flow and work areas are examined in place.
Management and Team Interviews
The current state of the processes is assessed with unit managers and shop-floor staff.
Data and System Review
Existing reports, the software in use and KPI reliability are analysed.

Which Areas Does the Analysis Cover?

We examine every process that affects the factory's performance as a whole, under 4 main headings:

Production and Shop-Floor Management
Production technology, capacity utilisation, bottlenecks, stoppages, setup times and work-in-progress (WIP) levels.
Method and Productivity
Method studies, standard times, line balancing, quality losses and scrap rates.
Organisation and People
Workforce planning, competencies, turnover, absenteeism, and the effect of bonus and pay systems on productivity.
Digital Infrastructure and Cost
The ERP/MES/WMS software in use, the accuracy of shop-floor data, true production cost by the minute, and the profitability structure.

Which Questions Will You Have Answered?

When the study is complete, you will have clear answers to 3 critical questions about your factory:

  1. Where are we today?

    A measurable “BEFORE” picture of the current state.

  2. Where and why are we losing?

    Loss points with their root causes identified.

  3. What is our real potential?

    The financial and operational target reachable with the right engineering and technology moves.

The Output: a Factory Analysis Report and Roadmap

  1. Current State
  2. Problem
  3. Root Cause
  4. Impact
  5. Action

Every finding is detailed in this structure and turned into a Factory Analysis Report specific to you.

That report becomes the roadmap your transformation project follows without deviation.
