Why Manufacturing Performance Is Harder to Improve Than It Should Be

Manufacturers use SNCL to uncover hidden process constraints, reduce delays, and improve throughput without replacing ERP systems or disrupting production.

Manufacturers using SNCL uncovered more than £13M in previously hidden production capacity by identifying and addressing system-level constraints.

SNCL Expertise

Manufacturing Experience Grounded in Real-World Systems

SNCL brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience working with manufacturers, helping operations teams uncover constraints, improve throughput, and scale performance without disrupting production. We understand how manufacturing actually runs because we have spent decades working inside complex, high-volume environments.

That experience is paired with deep expertise in the Microsoft manufacturing ecosystem, which remains the most flexible and scalable foundation for modern manufacturing operations.

Why Manufacturing Data Still Fails to Drive Action

Hidden Bottlenecks Are Hard to Pinpoint
Constraints often sit between systems, teams, and handoffs, making it difficult to identify exactly where delays begin or why production targets are repeatedly missed.
Disconnected Systems Blur The Lines of How Work Runs
ERP, MES, and planning tools operate independently, preventing manufacturers from seeing how work actually flows across production, scheduling, and fulfillment.
Improvement Efforts Are Hard to Prove
Many improvement initiatives rely on assumptions, leaving teams unable to validate impact, prioritize actions, or sustain performance gains over time.

SNCL Tackles Manufacturing

Turn Manufacturing Data Into Measurable Improvements

Our Impact

When full scope is clarified, costs are certain

ERP projects often get overrun due to unclear requirements at the start—Quick Assess 365 ensures they're fully captured from day one.
30-50%
Faster ERP evaluation time period
"Our procurement team estimated 3–4 months to assess ERP replacement options. SNCL delivered a full fit-gap and cost analysis in just weeks, and at no cost."
- Devan W, COO
"We delayed for years moving off our current ERP due to time and resource constraints. SNCL helped us clear the first big hurdle of defining requirements, and at very little effort on our part."
- Raphael S., CFO

You May Be Wondering

How is this different from traditional process mapping or Lean workshops?
chevron down icon

Traditional process mapping and Lean workshops rely on interviews, assumptions, and snapshots in time. SNCL uses real operational data to show how processes actually run day to day, revealing constraints and delays that are often missed in manual exercises.

Do we need to replace our ERP or manufacturing systems?
chevron down icon

No. SNCL works with your existing ERP, MES, and planning systems. Our approach connects and analyzes the data you already have, without replacing platforms or disrupting production.

How quickly can manufacturers see results?
chevron down icon

Most manufacturers begin identifying constraints and improvement opportunities within weeks, not months. Because SNCL uses existing data, there is no long discovery or data preparation phase.

What types of manufacturing environments does this work for?
chevron down icon

SNCL supports a wide range of manufacturing environments, including high-volume, mixed-mode, and semi-automated operations. The approach is effective wherever work flows across multiple steps, teams, and systems.

Will this create more work for our operations or IT teams?
chevron down icon

No. SNCL minimizes internal effort by handling analysis and insight generation. Operations and IT teams are involved for context and validation, not manual data preparation or ongoing system management.

How does SNCL help prioritize improvement efforts?
chevron down icon

Rather than surfacing dozens of issues, SNCL identifies the few constraints that have the greatest impact on throughput and performance. This helps teams focus improvement efforts where they deliver measurable results.

Can this support ongoing continuous improvement initiatives?
chevron down icon

Yes. SNCL provides a repeatable, data-driven foundation for continuous improvement by measuring performance over time and validating the impact of changes, not just identifying one-time fixes.

Who typically uses this inside a manufacturing organization?

SNCL is used by operations leaders, plant managers, continuous improvement teams, and executive leadership to align around the same data and make confident, coordinated decisions.
