ActionPLAN 2.3 provides an un paralleled level of granular data in an actionable format that helps manufacturers eliminate lost production, improve efficiency, and maximize profits in a highly competitive and ever evolving industry.
With ActionPLAN 2.3 we not only give our customers the ability to identify the true, exact sources of lost production and their effect on profits, but also who is best person to solve the issue, which staff members contribute most to the issue, what training would result in increased productivity, and what best practices can be identified and shared in order to maximize productivity and ultimately profits.

ActionPLAN 2.3 answers these questions and more.
