On September 25, our CRO, Ognjen Backović, was a speaker at the ZIT & SRIP GoDigital webinar “Smart Manufacturing – How to Increase Efficiency with Digital Solutions and AI.”
During the session, Ognjen addressed one of the most pressing challenges in manufacturing: the hidden costs caused by poor production planning.
One participant estimated these hidden costs at 20–30% of revenue, while research shows they are typically closer to 5–10%. This gap highlights how strongly manufacturing leaders feel the impact of firefighting, rescheduling, and inefficiencies on the shop floor.
In his talk, Ognjen explained how manufacturers can shift:
- from reactive firefighting
- to predictable and resilient production planning.
With Qlector LEAP, companies can cut hidden costs, free up working capital, and give planners back their time — to focus on improvements instead of daily crises.
