Production manager
You coordinate a factory of tens or hundreds of people with complex processes, while aiming to maximize output. As a production manager, you see that bottlenecks and the approaching retirement wave are threatening your targets.
Do more with the same people
"I don't know what knowledge will lost due to retirement in five years"
Production managers are under constant pressure to shorten lead times and achieve more output with the same people. Work preparation is often the bottleneck because it is time-consuming and prone to errors. Employees waste valuable time searching for parts, instructions, and information, which directly impacts productivity.
At the same time, the retirement wave is approaching, with experienced assemblers and operators taking decades of knowledge with them. Without real-time production insights and a knowledge retention strategy, it becomes increasingly difficult to meet efficiency targets while the organization grows vulnerable to knowledge loss.
Through standardized processes and digital instructions, new employees can become productive more quickly, while experienced employees can systematically transfer their knowledge before they retire. Baseboard eliminates search time by making all necessary information centrally and immediately accessible.
The system streamlines work preparation by automatically consolidating bills of materials and linking work instructions to production orders. Production managers get real-time dashboards with the current status of all orders, bottlenecks, and lead times.
The system builds a knowledge base of all best practices, troubleshooting solutions, and process optimizations. This digital knowledge transfer ensures that the expertise of retiring employees is retained and available for new generations. Through continuous process monitoring, production managers can proactively intervene when deviations occur and systematically identify areas for improvement, leading to structural efficiency gains.
