The Blind Spots in Your ERP (And What They're Costing You)

Most manufacturers are running on two sets of books.

One is the ERP. It reports a number for labor, capacity, on-time delivery, cost per job, scrap, and maintenance. The other is the floor, where those numbers are actually made. The two rarely match, and the gap between them does not show up as a line item. It shows up as a delivery you almost made, a job that cost more than the quote, and margin that leaks out of the building every shift.

Those blind spots have names. In this session, MachineMetrics CEO Bill Bither walks through all of them, one at a time: what the ERP reports, what is actually happening on the floor, and what the difference costs in recoverable margin per year.

This is a conversation about where your margin actually goes, built for the people who sign off on capital, pricing, delivery commitments, and operating budgets, and for the operations leaders who already know the floor doesn't match the system and need the number to prove it.

If the data behind your decisions was entered after the fact, averaged, or already hours old, this is an hour worth protecting.
