For plant and production management, quality and continuous improvement, maintenance and reliability, and procurement and the value chain. What gets practised here is not the technique: it is allocating a scarce resource when every function has its own indicator and all of them intend to hit it.
Six conversations you have already had
Each one is a simulation with an economic model behind it, not a discussion case.
OEE is up and the customer is still waiting.
Local optimum against flow. Every station improves its own number, work in progress piles up between them, and lead time does not move. It is the exercise that ends the most arguments.
We bought capacity for a bottleneck that moved.
Theory of constraints in practice: you invest where it hurt, the constraint shifts to the next link, and the promised return never appears. It happens on round three, not round one.
We did Six Sigma and the defect came back.
Process capability and sustaining. Closing a project is not holding a control, and the defect returns when the team that understood it changes shift.
Maintenance is a cost until it stops the line.
TPM and reliability: preventive, predictive or corrective against a closed budget. Unplanned downtime carries a cost that is not in the maintenance line item.
We digitised and now we have data nobody uses.
Connected shop floor and industrial IoT: instrumenting is easy, deciding on what you instrumented is what changes the result — and deciding on a bad reading is worse than not having it.
The auditor is asking about batch traceability.
Traceability, ISO and industrial waste: the documentation system nobody maintains shows up on audit day, and by then the decision has already been taken.
Available now, not on a roadmap
Lean and TOC, statistical quality and Six Sigma, TPM and reliability, connected shop floor, traceability and industrial circular economy.

And if your case is not on the list
On the Universal Simulation Framework we customise brand, process and indicators in a 1-to-2-week cycle, and we also write a simulation from scratch on your own case: your bottleneck, your OEE, your cost structure. You do not cover a sector by buying a catalogue — you cover it by owning a factory.
Four buyers, four different reasons
Plant and production management
Plant and shift managers who allocate capacity every week and have rarely seen the effect of that decision three rounds later.
Quality and continuous improvement
Lean and Six Sigma teams who need the organisation to understand why a closed project is not a sustained control.
Maintenance and reliability
Managers defending a preventive budget against the invisible cost of unplanned downtime.
Procurement and the value chain
Sourcing, standard cost and variances: where a purchasing decision turns into a manufacturing variance two months later.
Honest about the fit
Three limits we would rather state before a demo than after one:
- We are not a digital twin or a process simulator. We do not model your real line by discrete events — that is AnyLogic, FlexSim or Tecnomatix — we model the management decision taken above it.
- We do no technical training and no certification. No PLC, no robotics, no metrology, no accredited risk prevention. We train the person who decides, not the person who operates the machine.
- Our industrial bench is strong in food, textile, chemical-pharmaceutical and discrete manufacturing. In heavy continuous process — refining, steel, cement — and automotive tier-1 we have little, and there we build it in 1 to 2 weeks rather than claim we already have it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a digital twin of our line?
No. We do not do discrete-event modelling of your real plant: that is AnyLogic, FlexSim and Tecnomatix territory and we do not compete there. We model the decision taken above the line — where capacity goes, what stops being measured, when you take it down for maintenance — with economic consequences over several rounds.
Do you train PLC, robotics or industrial safety?
No. We do no technical trade training and issue no safety certification. If you need a technician to learn to program a controller or to hold an accredited risk-prevention course, we are not the supplier.
Which industries does the catalogue cover best?
Food, textile, chemical-pharmaceutical and general discrete manufacturing: most cases are set there. Heavy continuous process — refining, steel, cement — and automotive tier-1 are much thinner; there we build in the 1-to-2-week cycle rather than pretend we already have it.
Does it work for rolling lean out across several plants at once?
Yes, that is one of the most common uses: the same exercise, several shifts and several countries, in each plant's language, with decision data exportable so sites can be compared.
Can you use our plant and our numbers?
Yes. On the Universal Simulation Framework we adapt brand, process and indicators in a 1-to-2-week cycle, and we write a simulation from scratch on your case: your bottleneck, your OEE, your cost structure.
Tell us which decision keeps jamming
One short call: you tell us the process, the profile of the participants and how much time you have. We tell you what exists today, what would have to be built, and what we will not be able to do.
