Do these challenges seem familiar...

Issues we often see with companies in machine or facility production may include:

• Simple handling of complex projects with unique production implies working around the production module in order to create products and bills of materials (BOMs) when it makes sense. 
• Precise handling of plan modifications is necessary to make sure that it is always the updated versions that are available to the production. This minimizes the risk of errors and waiting time.
• Current work must be easy to estimate, including precise calculations of the degree to which the project is completed.
• Packing lists must be worked out per package to optimize both the preparation of the shipment and the assembly.  
• Overview, precise milestone control and optimized workflow are crucial factors in deciding whether the project is completed on time.
• BOMs must be changeable and flexible, even late into the process, so as to achieve a shorter production time with the option to release component parts along the way.
• An overview of the total project economy, continuously learning from experience and optimizing planning, also when dealing with upcoming projects, is necessary to ensure profitable production.
• Partial release with the realized BOM at particular levels being released for production and purchase must be possible in order to reduce turnaround time.
• Technical specifications attached to subjects or facilities are often necessary to ensure that non-product dependent demands are defined for the production and the vendors.
• To have complete control of producing a facility necessitates a perfect view of all subprocesses in the project.
• The wish of making the products flexible and configurable makes demands that all relevant questions are answered.
