We can start with an assessment which addresses your overall manufacturing operation, or a specific area of interest. PerfOps can evaluate equipment, systems at all levels from sensors and control elements through control layers and MES to manufacturing business operations. We evaluate processes and the team for OEE, quality, single points of failure, flexibility and more. We address the operating efficiencies of the process as well as the effectiveness, operational sustainability, level of optimization and resilience to supply chain upsets. Our assessments include specific recommendations that can be implemented wholly by you or with our help.

We believe in the application of Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints©. Our typical engagement is a blend of applying the practice to the target subject while simultaneously training and developing your team to continue the practice. We attend to quality and lean initiatives including application of TPS. PerfOps teams understand every form of production metric, how to develop and implement KPIs and apply them to optimize your specific business.

PerfOps understands CI and applies practical CI solutions which fit each specific owner’s needs. We find that CI is often mis-applied, morphing into a project management focus and losing sight of the incremental, fundamental concept of continuously compounding small improvements over time to yield lasting change.

All manufacturing processes of scale today apply software technology and need a roadmap which drives technology and process solutions forward to sustainably meet business needs. PerfOps prefers rapid implementations with defined phases which yield positive results more quickly while reducing user learning curves. Roadmaps ensure sequenced implementations stay true to defined objectives. This is particularly true for manufacturing operations where planned downtime is rare and many factors such as planned maintenance need to be accounted for. We have 40 years of experience working on the plant floor and know how to account for these factors while developing roadmaps.

PerfOps’ planning techniques were born on the manufacturing floor and have evolved over nearly 40 years of continuous experience. We know how to account for the realities of production operations and bring this experience to our project planning and execution methods.

Planning and Scheduling of production processes is often a constraint to the business and is seldom optimized. Planning and Scheduling target different objectives, are different disciplines and require different tools and mindsets. PerfOps understands both supply and demand driven production planning and scheduling processes, including seasonal factors pertaining both to supply and demand processes. We know process and material storage constraints as well as production and packaging sequencing and can help you optimize your processes. We develop the tools and team to achieve new levels of thruput and efficiency with improved production planning and scheduling processes.

MES is a very broad subject spanning simple data acquisition system to monitoring and directing more advanced SCADA, batch or continuous processing and supervisory control processes. PerfOps’ principal has worked with MES since the original implementation in the 1980s and with every generation of system since that time. We know how to apply MES to help manufacturers achieve their specific goals.

ERP systems are all capable of being integrated to manufacturing but few have done so comprehensively across all operations in an effective way. In addition, many ERP service providers do not fundamentally understand the plant floor and configure suboptimally for realistic, efficient, reliable or sustainable operations. We have been connecting business systems to shop floor systems since before ERP was a term and know how to preserve the necessary separation of plant floor and business environments to achieve effective, lasting solutions.
