Manufacturing Operations Managers — want the best visual platform that end your daily struggles?

A day in the life of a Manufacturing Operations Manager

Meet David Harris, a Manufacturing Operations Manager at a growing multi-site factory. May be (well, definitely, if you’re managing shop-floor operations day to day), this sounds familiar.

Instead, he’s met with the same problems manufacturing managers search about every day —

“How do I solve disconnected KPIs?”

“What is the best digital tool for manufacturing operations?”

“Which software gives real-time shop-floor visibility?”

“How do I manage performance across plants?”

“How to implement a Digital Lean daily management or SQCDP system?”

David jumps between Excel sheets, MES dashboards, ERP reports, SharePoint logs, and manual updates — yet nothing feels connected. His data exists, but it lives everywhere except where he needs it.

And that’s exactly why tools like LTS Data Point — a connected AI integrated operations visibility platform built for manufacturing KPIs, daily management, and real-time performance control — are becoming essential for modern factories.

Let’s have a look a day in the life of a manufacturing operations manager until he finds the best digital tool for manufacturing operations.
