Industrial Products: posture and scale decide the dollars

US

This is the financial close of the Industrial Products worked example. The survey report shows the gap signature; the use-case roadmap turns it into a portfolio. This page scores that portfolio against a financial baseline and rolls it up across the company.

Illustrative figures for a fictional company. The method is real; the company is not. Every dollar traces through a measure and a finance line to EBITDA. Benefit is scaled to each use case's current maturity from the survey, so a use case the plant has already mastered captures less from the same improvement. Use the maturity lever above to compare against industry-typical and best-in-class.

Executive Summary

Industrial Products: posture and scale decide the dollars

Three plants, three different starting points: a volume-first plant running hot against demand, a mature leader, and a plant still building its standard-work foundation. The same playbook produces very different dollars depending on where each one sits.

The total below is the sum of the three plants, each scored against its own baseline. The split is a lesson in itself: the largest upside is not at the weakest plant by maturity, but at the one where freed capacity converts directly to revenue.

Things to notice below

  • Topeka carries by far the largest absolute upside. It is capacity-constrained, so quality recovery and freed capacity both turn into revenue.
  • Waco's value concentrates in the standard-work foundation that unlocks everything downstream.
  • Boise is the lean benchmark: the fewest gaps and the shortest list, with a real but modest number. It sets the bar the others work toward.
