Deliver the Highest Value Asset Investment Strategies in Manufacturing

Selecting, deploying, and managing asset strategies and capital programs is more challenging than ever for, which must oversee a wide range of equipment, machinery, and production facilities. While maintaining operational efficiency, ensuring safety, and optimizing production are critical, manufacturing planners must now also consider factors such as sustainability, risk management, climate resilience, and regulatory compliance to deliver the highest-value plans for their operations, despite limited resources. Manufacturing organizations are recognizing the need to expand the performance measures and targets that drive decisions to achieve their goals while making the best use of every limited dollar.

Navigating the challenges of holistic investment planning in manufacturing

While most manufacturing companies have systems to manage individual asset categories, many lack a holistic approach to planning that enables trade-off decisions across . This includes making the right choices between sustaining existing operations and investing in growth opportunities, ensuring that capital is allocated where it can deliver the most value.  The biggest challenge preventing organizations from making this change is that basic scoring tools and expert opinions are unequipped to handle the complexity of program allocation and project selection decisions. Comparing thousands of projects and programs, each delivering a myriad of benefits across diverse asset types and production lines, is a massive challenge. The bundling of asset interventions into comprehensive projects is a time-consuming, manual, and subjective process—especially across siloed departments and facilities. Add in uncertainties and constraints around production schedules, budgets, resources, materials, and time, and making optimal investment decisions becomes extremely challenging.
