Manufacturing Company Achieves Accurate Production Costing with Tilbury Shop Floor Tracking

Overview

A manufacturer of mechanical components needed greater visibility into production costs and resource utilization. Costing and profitability assessments were largely based on estimates, making it difficult to accurately measure machine efficiency, labor productivity, and project profitability.

To address this challenge, the company implemented Tilbury’s shop floor tracking solution.

Solution

Tilbury captured real-time timestamps as materials moved through each production process, machine, and workstation. This created a complete digital record of machine time, labor time, and process durations for every job and batch.

By combining production data with machine and labor costs, Tilbury enabled accurate project-level costing and profitability analysis. The platform also provided valuable insights into machine utilization, workforce productivity, and process bottlenecks.

Business Impact

• Accurate production costing based on actual machine and labor usage
• Improved visibility into project profitability
• Better understanding of machine and workforce utilization
• Identification of production bottlenecks and efficiency gaps
• Data-driven decisions for continuous process improvement

Result

With Tilbury, the manufacturer replaced estimation-based costing with real-time operational intelligence. The organization gained accurate profitability insights, improved resource utilization, and established a foundation for continuous operational improvement.
