In practice
Not a generic blueprint. But a recognizable way of looking at things.
Every factory is different. The recurring challenge is the same: aligning local decisions with the value for the company as a whole.
BASF Additional Manufacturing
How do you manage 30% annual growth?
A rapidly growing factory wanted to go paperless, build a database of pure performance data, and develop expertise for future world-wide locations.
The site survey examined the shop floor, seven interfering material flows, production planning, handoffs, morning meetings, and technical infrastructure. The core issue turned out to be not a single machine or form, but the chain of information silos and medium changes.
The development path integrated process control, machine data, operational information, and a single management platform into manageable waves of digitization.

Seed processing
How does experience in people's minds develop into organizational knowledge?
Planning, storage, drying, cleaning, mixing, quality control, and logistics relied heavily on practical experience and local records.
The assessment showed that individual processes were largely functioning properly. The complexity arose when choices had to be made between conflicting interests: quality, logistics, capacity, future orders, and economic returns.
By incorporating information at every stage of the process, a knowledge base is gradually built up that supports planners without replacing their expertise.
