When Actual Production Becomes a Black Box
Particularly in manual production processes, up-to-date information on progress, resource utilisation, and deviations is often lacking.As a result, production managers only become aware of delayed orders or unexpected issues after the fact.
Typical Challenges:
- Lack of real-time transparency
- Production deviations are identified too late
- Feedback is recorded manually
- High coordination effort between planning and the shop floor
- ERP feedback is delayed
- Actual and planned working times are difficult to compare

Close the gap between planning and reality.
How Production Status Tracking Works.
Display production operations on the shop floor.
Employees gain visibility into relevant work orders and tasks.
Report progress digitally.
Employees can record production progress and status updates digitally and directly on the shop floor.
Make the current status transparent.
Planners and production managers gain a real-time view of actual production execution and current operational progress.
Identify deviations earlier.
Differences between planned and actual production become visible sooner, enabling faster response times and more effective operational control.
Integrate production feedback.
Production information can be transferred to connected systems, ensuring that relevant production data is available across the entire system landscape.
Integrates with existing production systems.
MCP Workforce Management can be used as a central solution for production shift planning or integrated with existing ERP, HR, MES, and APS systems.
This allows existing data to continue being used while reducing duplicate data maintenance.
Integrates with Your Existing System Landscape
Together, we analyse your current shift planning processes and demonstrate how workforce availability, qualifications, and production requirements can be systematically brought together through software-supported planning.
