Addressing operations challenges
Catavolt launched a survey titled “How Leading Manufacturers are Accelerating Operational Excellence” in September 2014, to gain insight on how manufacturing organizations are working to continuously improve their operations, workflows and business processes.
We collected 111 responses from manufacturing professionals in various disciplines on trends and technology that are driving operational excellence. Increased competition in the market, meeting customer expectations, rapidly changing plant floor conditions, and the need to increase revenue, is pushing manufacturing organizations across all industries towards more efficient operational processes.
Manufacturing organizations are increasing operational excellence investments in 2015
• These initiatives require investment of time and resources to optimize their people, data, processes, space, time, energy, and technology required to achieve success.
• The use of mobile devices and apps allows manufacturing teams to easily access real-time data needed to accelerate decision-making and efficiency, from the executive level to the shop floor.
• Mobility better connects manufacturing teams, increasing productivity by getting real-time information to employees at the right time.
85% of manufacturing thought leaders plan to in-crease investments for operational excellence initiatives for their organizations in 2015. (Catavolt, 2015)

How mobility helps manufacturing organizations
Mobility for manufacturing can streamline operational processes and enhance the integrity of organizational data
Mobile apps give organizations the ability to monitor production volume and receive alerts, collaborate with teams in multiple locations, and monitor labor and repair costs in one place, all while replacing manual, paper-based processes.
With mobility, manufacturing teams can get right-time data from any where, at any time, helping get the job done and improve organizational processes. Mobile apps give manufacturing teams the ability to place and track orders from their tablets and smart phones, review account information, manage inventories, and track sales and Key Process Indicators.
