Finance Director

A good finance team provide far more than the financial scores on the doors. They work effectively with operations to drive forward the financial performance of the business.

A key barrier to this is accurate and transparent operational information . This is where Keimis can help. It provides actual and real time information about costs and efficiencies within the manufacturing and service process. The keimis toolset provides easy analysis of labour, efficiency and waste in a reliable manner. The Product Contribution module is particularly useful when analysing the portfolio to establish which products create the wealth and which lose money. By using actual manufacturing data, frequent reviews of product performance can assist with strategic decision making regarding which products and related processes to invest in and which to re assess.

Keimis is also useful for budgeting purposes; its analysis of product/service performance shows what resources have been consumed across the portfolio. It will show average performance on your processes and services to ensure that you fully understand the detail behind cost variances. Finally there is an ability to run a second set of standards through the historical data to establish what the true financial impact would be when running scenarios for the budget.

Engineering Management

The type of performance improvement service offered by Keimis is as likely to be sourced through Engineering as through Operations. Indeed, the mutual desire to improve the performance of the manufacturing plants is a fundamental part of senior management responsibilities. Keimis recognizes this and has tailored its products to help you provide an expandable Management Information System to suit your engineering needs and the needs of everyone else in your company. You may initiate the process through a desire to better understand the performance factors impacting your processes and machinery. Keimis can provide this. If you need to collect production and down time data automatically from your machinery, Keimis has the technology to do this. If you have a need to analyse equipment effectiveness and understand the root cause of plant failures and line stoppages, we can help you achieve this.

We can however take things further. In driving performance improvements within the business there are a lot more issues to consider. The effectiveness of personnel; the effectiveness of production management; the information review process; the concerted team based approach to resolving the key issues that prevent optimum performance, these all overlap into other domains. By choosing the Keimis system you can be assured that you will be selecting a system suitable for your whole business to improve its performance.

We also recognize that Engineering Resources can become a significant factor in the drive for improvements. Many engineering departments already have software to record asset details and repair data in fine detail but fail to provide the same level of effective management to their staff. The Keimis Engineering Module is designed to address this issue. See our product details to see how it can help you to ensure that your team of engineers are using their time in the most effective manner for the business.
