Noti Custom / Production planning for small manufacturers
Operations

Production planning for small manufacturers.

Planning tomorrow from numbers that were true yesterday is the most expensive habit in a small factory.

The problem

Most small manufacturers plan in a spreadsheet that one person maintains and everyone else works around.

What this actually looks like day to day.

If you are searching for this, you have probably already tried the obvious fixes. Here is what a build normally has to solve:

  • Tomorrow's run built from live stock and live orders, not last week's export.
  • One change to the plan reaching every person working to it.
  • Short orders visible before the run starts, not after it finishes.
  • The plan and the floor holding the same version of the truth.
  • Capacity that reflects what the lines actually achieve, not what they achieve on paper.
RUNNING AT NIFTY
Forecast uploaded→Every past forecast kept→How each one called this same week→Where the forecast reliably drifts→You plan against the pattern

One real chain, running today. Yours will not look the same.

How Noti handles it

Look first, build second.

It starts with a day on your floor.

I do not quote a build off a phone call. A Discovery day is a paid day on site where I follow the work end to end and write you a Systems Roadmap that you own.

If the honest answer is a process change, or software you already pay for used properly, the roadmap says so. Sometimes off-the-shelf is the correct answer.

01 — Look

Watch how it runs

A paid day on site. Where the work flows, and where it jams up.

02 — Find

Locate the friction

The steps that drag, the data typed three times, the questions only you can answer.

03 — Build

Connect and build

Connect what you already run, build the parts nothing covers, or point you at an off-the-shelf tool.

04 — Run

Keep it running

It becomes part of how you work, and I look after it. Built once, cared for.

Ready when you are

Let's start by looking at how you actually run.

A free chat first, then a paid Discovery day if it makes sense. You keep the roadmap either way. If Noti is not the right fit, I will tell you straight.
