Your supervisors are paid to keep production running, not to re-enter data.
An hour a day, per supervisor, goes into copying data by hand between systems that don't talk to each other.

YOUR SITUATION
This may be your situation
- Your supervisors enter data in the evening, after their shift.
- They fill in reports nobody reads before month-end.
- They re-enter into the ERP what's already written somewhere else.
- They're paid to supervise production, and they're doing clerical work.
THE COST OF WAITING
Run the numbers over a year
660
hours/yr
1 hr/day × 3 supervisors × 220 days = 660 supervision hours lost.
That's 660 hours not spent on the floor, with the teams and the machines.
And every re-entry is one more chance for an error in your production data.
THE REAL PROBLEM
Your supervisors are organized. What's missing is the link between your systems.
Hours go missing wherever a person has to copy what one system already knows into another.
Those bridges can be automated. It's plumbing, not magic: document the flow, then build it into what you already have.
THE FIRST STEP
Start by counting, not by buying
“The plant that depends on John” is a free 10-question guide to assess how fragile your plant is. In fifteen minutes you get a score and things you can act on right away.
When you want to know exactly where the hours go, the next step is the “map of manual tasks” part of the Resilient Operations Diagnostic, with the numbers flow by flow.
