Does your factory or workshop lose thousands of euros a month in wasted materials without anyone knowing exactly where the failure occurs?
Managing production in a small industry means constantly dealing with offcuts, defective parts, or raw material expirations. If your operators write these losses down on whiteboards, notebooks, or in spreadsheets that no one reviews, you are losing control of your inventory. At the end of the quarter, the discrepancy between what you bought and what you manufactured is enormous, and that lost money comes straight out of your profit margins.
The trap of generic accounting programs
Most managers try to use their standard billing software to record this waste, but these rigid systems do not understand partial batches or manufacturing processes. Forcing your team to use complex accounting tools to measure factory problems only generates resistance and fake data.
Our solution: Custom Database for Shrinkage Control
At LANZAESTUDIO we develop custom software and a centralized database, specifically designed for the reality of your production floor, allowing your operators to record deviations in seconds.
- Frictionless Factory Floor Logging: We create very simple visual interfaces for tablets or mobile devices, where the worker only has to tap a button to record the defective part or leftover material.
- Real-Time Cost Calculation: The database instantly cross-references the waste volume with the updated purchase price, showing you exactly how much money you have lost today.
- Machine and Operator Traceability: We identify bottlenecks by cross-referencing shrinkage data with the production line, helping you discover if a specific machine is failing or if more training is needed.
- True Inventory Synchronization: The system automatically deducts the unusable raw material from your main warehouse, preventing surprise out-of-stock situations when you go to manufacture tomorrow.
The Real Impact on Your Industrial Profitability
- Direct Material Savings: By measuring and making waste visible, the team becomes more aware, and you manage to drastically reduce the loss of raw materials.
- Reliable Data for Purchasing: Your purchasing manager will know exactly how much extra material to order to cover your factory's actual failure rate.
- Protected Sales Margins: By knowing the hidden cost of your shrinkage, you can adjust the final price of your B2B products to ensure you always make money.
