Who It's For
The AI Analyst for Manufacturing is designed for the people who need answers—not more reports.
Executives
Service levels, vendor risk, capacity utilization, cash exposure
Example questions
- Did we meet customer demand this month?
- Which vendors are putting us at risk?
- Where is cash tied up in the wrong inventory?
Operations & Planning
Production constraints, prioritization decisions, material shortages, daily execution
Example questions
- Why did we miss shipments for Product X?
- What material actually constrained production?
- What did we make instead of the priority items?
Procurement
Vendor performance, PO risk, expedite decisions, cash planning
Example questions
- Which suppliers have the worst on-time delivery?
- What's our open PO exposure by vendor?
- Which late deliveries impacted production this week?
Inventory & Finance
Safety stock risks, inventory misallocation, working capital, forecasted needs
Example questions
- Where are we at risk of stockout?
- How much cash is tied up in slow-moving inventory?
- What's our days-of-supply for critical parts?
You're a Good Fit If...
- Your manufacturing data lives across multiple systems (ERP, spreadsheets, databases)
- You need operational answers faster than your current reporting allows
- You value explainable insights over black-box predictions
- You're willing to start focused and expand over time
- Security and data residency are organizational priorities
- Your team can engage in a founder-led implementation
This Might Not Be Right If...
Honesty matters. The AI Analyst for Manufacturing isn't the right fit for every organization. You should look elsewhere if:
- You're looking for a fully autonomous system with no human oversight
- You need instant deployment without customization
- Your operations are already fully cloud-native with integrated analytics
- You require enterprise-scale support teams and formal SLA structures
