WHERE TO START

Nail the starting point. Everything else compounds.

The difference between impact and noise is knowing which manufacturing problem to solve first. One working session with your operators finds it, locks the metric, and sets the sequence.

THE DECISION FRAMEWORK

Five decisions. Each one unlocks the next.

Every phase produces a deliverable. Every deliverable earns the next decision. No committee required.

01
Week 0

Working Session

45 min. One operator from each side. We leave with the workflow we will ship first — production scheduling, dispatch optimisation, invoice reconciliation — the success metric, and the data we need.

02
Week 1

Provisioning

Tenant configured inside your infrastructure. SSO integrated. Audit trail live from day one. Connected to your ERP, MES, and source systems.

03
Weeks 2–3

Configure, Not Build

Configured against your actual manufacturing data. Not a toy dataset. Your production orders, your invoices, your contracts, your mill test certificates.

04
Weeks 4–5

Parallel Run

Runs alongside your current process on the factory floor. Every output compared. Discrepancies triaged. Confidence compounds.

05
Week 6+

Live & Compounding

In production. Second capability starts configuration the moment the first crosses the line.

DELIVERABLES BY PHASE

Each phase ends with a hand-off, not a meeting.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in a Dana AI working session?

A 45-minute session with one operator from each side. You leave with the workflow to automate first, the success metric, and the data needed to start. No slide decks.

Is Dana AI configured or custom-built?

Configured against your actual manufacturing data during weeks 2-3. Not a demo dataset. Your production orders, invoices, contracts, and mill test certificates.

What happens after the first capability goes live?

The second capability starts configuration the moment the first crosses the line. The shared substrate means each new capability inherits context from everything already running.
