Start with the problem your team knows.

Use a representative production plan to evaluate resource constraints, material readiness, priority changes, and communication.

Evaluate job progress and exceptions at the point of work, including the information an operator needs to act.

Evaluate the quality workflow through inspection, nonconformance, review, disposition, corrective work, and release.

Evaluate inventory accuracy through receipts, moves, issues, returns, counts, and approved corrections.

Evaluate delivery performance using an agreed promise date, shipment definition, and the dependencies that affect completion.

Evaluate reporting against specifically identified obligations, approved source records, and responsible reviewers.

Evaluate equipment interruptions in the context of the affected jobs, maintenance response, and return to service.

Use first-pass yield as a measurement question: define the denominator, rework rules, and source records before evaluating change.

Evaluate the records needed to understand rejected material, repeated operations, disposition, and cost.

Evaluate the connection between demand, usable stock, supplier commitments, and the decision to expedite or replan.

Evaluate job profitability through agreed costing rules and reconciled operational records, not an isolated margin tile.

Use aerospace documentation needs to evaluate controlled records, review, retrieval, and human accountability. Software alone does not establish certification.

Evaluate replacing a spreadsheet workflow by following its inputs, handoffs, corrections, and the decisions it supports.

Consolidating ERP, MES, QMS, and CMMS means connecting enterprise resource planning, manufacturing execution, quality management, and computerized maintenance management around shared records. Evaluate which business processes to unify and which specialist systems to retain.

Evaluate supplier quality across receipt, inspection, nonconformance, disposition, and purchasing follow-up.
