Where Are Hidden Costs on Your Shop Floor?
Our Manufacturing Efficiency Assessment looks at nine key areas that can impact productivity, increase operating expenses and make it harder to improve margins.
Labor Reporting
How many people record labor, production, scrap or downtime by hand? How long does it take each shift, including time spent reviewing, correcting and re-entering information elsewhere?
Production & WIP
Time spent printing and chasing shop paperwork, people looking for job status or work in process, and how often work stops because instructions or priorities weren't clear.
Scheduling
Hours per week building and rebuilding the schedule, how many jobs get expedited in a typical week, and production hours lost waiting on material or direction.
Inventory
Time spent on manual material transactions, correcting balances, hunting for material, and what cycle counts and physical inventory cost in hours.
Quality & NCR
How many checks and records get done by hand, how long a nonconformance takes to work through, and how long it takes to retrieve one traceability record.
Scrap & Rework
What scrap and rework cost in a year, how much gets reworked in a typical week, and the time spent documenting and investigating it.
Downtime
Unplanned or avoidable downtime hours in a typical week, how many people it affects, and the time spent recording and chasing down causes.
Compliance & Traceability
Audits per year and the hours they take to prepare, how often traceability gets requested, and the time spent finding records that should be easy to find.
Duplicate Entry
How many systems or spreadsheets receive the same information, and the hours spent copying, reconciling and correcting between them.
Your ERP Plans. MV2 Executes.
ERP tells you what production should cost. MV2 MES helps show you what's actually happening on the shop floor. Together, they connect operational execution to financial performance, giving CFOs and operations leaders the visibility needed to identify improvement opportunities and better understand profitability.

A Manufacturing Efficiency Assessment helps quantify opportunities in the areas that matter most.
Labor Productivity
Reduce manual processes and get more value from your team.
Production Capacity
Identify opportunities to increase throughput using existing resources.
Scrap & Quality Costs
Identify issues earlier and uncover opportunities to reduce waste and rework.
Inventory Accuracy
Improve material visibility and better understand working capital.
Better Forecasting
Make more informed decisions using real production data.
What Could 30 Minutes a Day Add Up To?
Small amounts of avoidable manual work can add up quickly across an operation. Here's one example of how that time could compound.
If 50 employees each spend 30 minutes per day on avoidable manual tasks, that could represent approximately 6,250 hours of labor capacity annually.
*Illustrative example assumes 50 employees, 30 minutes per employee per day, 250 working days and a $35/hour labor rate. This scenario is provided for illustration only and does not represent guaranteed savings or expected results.
What Could Inefficiency Cost Over Time?
The purpose of the assessment is to establish your actual current state. This example shows how identified inefficiencies can translate into a monthly financial opportunity.
If an assessment identifies $240,000 in annual addressable inefficiencies, that would represent:

Measure your current state before investing in change.
Illustrative scenario only. The amount of inefficiency identified, the financial impact and the portion that can realistically be improved will vary by manufacturer.
