THE WORK / CONAX TECHNOLOGIES

PRECISION MANUFACTURING

Getting the requirements right. Before production.

Aligning sales and manufacturing to address costly calibration errors, using the capabilities already available in the business.

01 / The challenge

Critical details.
Lost in the handoff.

Calibration requirements lived in manual sales-order notes. Production worked from manufacturing orders that never carried those details. The gap only surfaced at shipping — triggering rework, remakes and delays.

02 / The work

Find the gap.
Design the connection.

The engagement mapped the sales processes and the order-to-production handoff, identified the root cause, and designed structured requirement capture and manufacturing routing around the ERP capabilities already in the business.

03 / The process design

Clarity before production.

Bringing calibration requirements into the manufacturing workflow before missing information becomes costly rework.

04 / The deliverables

What the engagement delivered.

  • A process map of the sales-to-production handoff
  • Defined sales-order calibration categories
  • A phased roadmap for manufacturing routing
  • Direction for product configuration and data-led upstream calibration
  • A path toward B2B ordering and standardized sales processes

The projected opportunity.

PROJECTED ANNUAL OPPORTUNITY

Up to

$1.5M

Potential annual savings from reduced waste and rework.

80%+

Target reduction in quality escapes

Manufacturing issues that pass through the process without being caught.

A foundation for B2B ordering and more standardized sales processes.

Projected benefits from the December 2024 readout. The cost baseline was anecdotal and requires validation. Realized results remain unconfirmed.
