Averion
ERP keeps the books.
Averion manages the plant.
Operational intelligence for VP Ops, Plant Managers, and SIOP Directors. Built by operators who have stood on the floor and run the audits.
The Problem
Six rigidities your ERP cannot solve.
Your ERP was built for transactions, not intelligence. These are the gaps where operational value leaks out.
The Averion Methodology
Four pillars of operational intelligence.
Each pillar works independently and compounds when deployed together. Start where the pain is greatest.
SIOP
Sales, Inventory & Operations Planning
Align demand signals with production capacity and inventory policy. Averion builds the bridge between what finance forecasts and what the plant can actually deliver.
Outcomes
- Demand-supply alignment
- Capacity gap visibility
- Financial plan integration
Engineered Inventory
Calculated, Not Guessed
Every SKU gets a calculated min, max, reorder point, and safety stock based on demand variability, lead time, and service level targets. No more gut-feel ordering.
Outcomes
- SKU-level optimization
- Demand variability modeling
- Working capital reduction
Shop Floor Excellence
Scheduling, PFEP & MHE
Live PFEP, scheduling intelligence at the cycle-time level, MHE utilization tracking, and routings-to-VSM auto-conversion. The plant runs on data, not heroics.
Outcomes
- Live PFEP management
- Cycle-time scheduling
- MHE utilization tracking
Optimized Transport
Fix the Source, Not the Symptom
Premium freight drops when upstream planning holds. Transportation linkage analysis connects schedule adherence to freight cost, showing exactly where value leaks.
Outcomes
- Premium freight reduction
- Transportation cost linkage
- Carrier performance
Wedge Module
MP&L Recovery
The system you turn to when the ERP scheduler has lost the plot. Material Planning & Logistics Recovery is a rapid-deployment module that stabilizes inbound material flow, re-sequences production, and stops the bleeding on premium freight.
MP&L Recovery is often the entry point for Averion. It solves the immediate crisis and creates the data foundation for the full methodology.
Demo Magnet
Routings to VSM. Automatically.
Your ERP already has routings. Averion converts them into live value stream maps. No sticky notes. No Visio. Just data.
Before Averion
Flat routing table. No flow. No timing.
With Averion
Live VSM. Cycle times. Bottleneck detection. Flow visualization.
Productized Audits
Start with an audit. See the gaps.
Six audit SKUs. Each one is scoped, priced, and delivers a concrete gap report with ROI quantification.
Scheduling Adherence
Measure your schedule attainment at the job, line, and plant level. Identify the root causes of schedule breaks and quantify the cost of recovery.
Deliverable
Gap report with root-cause analysis and recovery cost quantification
Timeframe
2-3 weeks
Success
What changes when Averion is running.
Premium freight drops
Fix the upstream planning failures that force expedited shipping.
Schedule adherence holds
Plan vs actual at the cycle-time level. Drift detection before it compounds.
Overtime normalizes
When schedules hold, weekend recovery shifts disappear.
Inventory accuracy is real
Engineered parameters mean finance and ops agree on the numbers.
Compound benchmarks
Multi-plant networks see compound improvement across shared metrics.
Resilience under stress
The system holds when demand spikes or suppliers miss. No more firefighting.
Built for Your Role
Three voices. One system.
Averion serves the full plant leadership stack. Here is what it means for each role.
VP Operations
Primary Buyer
"Every month feels like a recovery from last month."
Averion gives you a single operational dashboard with plan-vs-actual at the network level. Schedule adherence, inventory accuracy, and premium freight cost are no longer separate conversations with separate truths.
Key Outcomes
- Network-level visibility
- Finance-ops alignment
- Board-ready operational metrics
Plant Manager
Day-to-Day Operator
"I know what is broken. I need a system that sees it too."
Averion is the system that matches what you see on the floor. Live PFEP, cycle-time scheduling, MHE utilization, and drift alerts before the problem compounds.
Key Outcomes
- Floor-level intelligence
- Proactive drift detection
- Reduced firefighting
SIOP Director
Planning Leader
"The forecast is never the problem. Execution is."
Averion closes the gap between the demand plan and what the plant can actually produce. Capacity modeling, inventory engineering, and schedule intelligence that turns your SIOP process into a real operating cadence.
Key Outcomes
- Demand-capacity alignment
- Engineered inventory policy
- SIOP cadence that holds
The plant should run on intelligence, not heroics.
