CHALLENGE
Frustrated workers
Do your workers complain because they cannot do their jobs effectively and efficiently as they would like to? It’s because they are facing time-consuming paper-based processes and as such, have poor access to information. To do their jobs, they have to access multiple systems that aren’t interconnected, manually input information, and re-work data. Next to all that, they have to deal with slow systems, manual errors, delays and miscommunications on a daily basis.
CHALLENGE
Getting rid of legacy systems
Manufacturers know they suffer from a legacy-based, complex technology landscape, and are working hard on replacing these legacy technologies with new technologies, such as web and platform-based solutions. It’s the key to increasing worker happiness and performance. But….this is easier said than done. Replacing legacy systems requires a solid future digital manufacturing vision combined with a strong execution plan backed by management as there are many internal forces that can let a business transformation go sour.

FAQs
As a manufacturing organization, can I trust Plat4mation as a solid consulting partner?
For over a decade, we’ve been working top global manufacturing clients and have digitized workflow processes in more than 150 factories around the world (USA, Europe and Asia-Pacific). We consider ourselves a frontrunner in accelerating Operational Excellence journeys.
With ServiceNow as our global partner and our own 4Industry product, we know how to achieve operational excellence with digital solutions.
What are the core skills of Plat4mation’s manufacturing consultants?
Our manufacturing consultants are experts in Manufacturing Excellence and Manufacturing Processes in the Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals and High-Tech industries. Their skills range from strategic advice to implementation. Our consultants are laser-focused on getting the right solutions in place for the customer to really go the extra mile for the extra smile.
How do I know if Plat4mation is a good match with my organization?
Our clients are mostly large manufacturing enterprises with 10+ factories worldwide. The client teams we work with often consist of manufacturing professionals that focus on Performance Improvement. They are hands-on, down to earth people who dare to look at the bigger picture and get problems solved. They love to challenge ideas, concepts and solutions in order to get the best for their organization. We love to work with that kind of people!
What kind of results have our clients achieved with the ServiceNow platform and with us?
When our customers take the bold step towards shopfloor digitization, our goal is to make their operation flow. Digital shopfloor processes eliminate the need for data inputs on paper, calculations in Excel, manual information handovers and hand-written performance boards. A digital way of working provides instant consolidated insights and reporting. Decisions, from the floor up to management, are based on facts (data) instead of interpretations. Information is shared with just one tap or click, instead of via meetings or paper.
In essence, we remove all waste that comes with siloed information provisioning, unlocking easy and seamless collaboration. Key stakeholders can make the right decisions and continuous improvement is sustainable and scalable to other factories. The end results are substantial, and improvements sustainable. Driving standardization in your way of working with a digital platform leads to impressive line performance improvements.
In numbers:
• 5% productivity increase by removing waste hours from operators and managers
• 3-5% higher and more sustainable line performance (OEE) thanks to better information availability, knowledge sharing and process standardization
• 30% MTTR reduction in 1-2 years’ time thanks to efficient and data-driven RCA and problem-solving processes
Why is ServiceNow a great platform for manufacturing?
ServiceNow offers a great user experience. It’s simple, intuitive and uniform interface helps operators to easily find functions and information they need. The ServiceNow platform is easily scalable, so it can grow with your needs, and highly configurable thanks to its low-code development features.
