The challenge

Production planning, labor efficiency and cost visibility lived in an aging ERP, email threads and spreadsheets. Leadership could not see where an instrument spends its hours or plan capacity on the finishing floor.

Our approach

We ran discovery on the floor with the production team, prototyped a capacity and efficiency tool for bassoon finishing, and designed cost dashboards with an AI daily read on top.

A roadmap from email-only operations to an AI-native system, replacing the legacy ERP one module at a time.
