Pain 01
Resin & Raw Material Guesswork

Resin inventory estimated by silo level or bin weight. Grade and colour variants not tracked at granular level. Production starts without confirming the right material is available in the right quantity.

Pain 02
Changeover Scheduling Chaos

Mould and line changeovers scheduled manually without linking to material availability. Setup time and scrap from changeovers not factored into production planning. Efficiency leaks go unmeasured.

Pain 03
Customer Order Whiplash

Large customer orders arrive with short lead times. No ATP visibility to confirm delivery dates. Commitments made on assumptions, not data. Missed deliveries erode customer relationships.

Pain 04
Scrap and Waste Invisible

Material waste from startups, changeovers, and rejects not tracked against production orders. Actual vs. theoretical material usage unknown. Margin erosion goes undetected until month-end.
