Invite-only executive workshop | Detroit June 5 | Chicago June 8

Manufacturing Intelligence Roadshow

Most manufacturers already have ERP, MES, APS, PLM, dashboards, and reports. Yet schedules still change daily, expedites dominate meetings, and inventory buffers keep growing.

Join IndX, SmarterMRP, and Siemens for a private executive workshop on moving from planning chaos to execution confidence.

Built for manufacturing, production, planning, supply chain, and operations leaders who need faster decisions when reality refuses to follow the plan.

Why This Roadshow Exists

Manufacturers do not lack software. They lack execution confidence.

ERP is live. MES is installed. APS is configured. Dashboards are everywhere. But the real questions still come up every week: can we make this schedule, what happens if a supplier is late, and why are we expediting again?

Planning Chaos

▦

Schedules Change Daily

Demand changes, supplier delays, machine availability, labor constraints, and material shortages disrupt plans faster than teams can respond.

Firefighting

Expedites Dominate Meetings

Teams spend too much time reacting to shortages, late orders, and exceptions instead of improving the system that creates them.

Inventory Pressure

▣

Buffers Keep Growing

Inventory increases to protect service levels, but availability still suffers because teams lack confidence in materials, capacity, and constraints.

Decision Intelligence

↗

OTIF Is Defended, Not Engineered

Leaders explain missed delivery performance after the fact instead of designing better execution decisions before commitments break.

System Gap

▤

Planning and Production Are Disconnected

The plan may look right in the system, but the shop floor runs on constraints, exceptions, and reality.

Manufacturing Intelligence

◷

Leaders Lack Forward-Looking Confidence

Reports show what happened. Manufacturing Intelligence helps teams decide what to do next while there is still time to act.

Who Should Attend

Built for leaders who own manufacturing execution.

A private, peer-level workshop for leaders responsible for production performance, planning reliability, plant execution, and operational improvement.

Closing & Next Steps

Summary, takeaways, and optional follow-up discussions with IndX, SmarterMRP, and Siemens.

All

One Conversation. Three Strengths.

Siemens provides the foundation. SmarterMRP brings the intelligence. IndX makes it work.

Manufacturing Intelligence Operating Model

SiemensXcelerator and Opcenter as the digital manufacturing and advanced planning foundation.

SmarterMRPCertified Siemens Xcelerator Technology Partner extending Opcenter APS with Manufacturing Intelligence.

IndXProcess discovery, ERP/MES/PLM integration, change management, rollout, and adoption.

Execution ConfidenceFaster decisions across demand, supply, capacity, materials, production, and constraints.

Manufacturing Intelligence helps teams make fast, confident production decisions when reality refuses to follow the plan.

This roadshow makes the concept practical. Not another dashboard pitch. Not another planning theory. A working session on how to connect planning, production, material availability, constraints, and execution signals.

Walk away with a clearer view of where your process breaks, what data and systems need to connect, and where a roadmap could deliver the fastest operational impact.

ERP + MES + APSMost manufacturers have systems. The issue is decision confidence across them.
