Services
Cudopix understands the operating problem first, then redesigns the work, implements the right systems and helps the team sustain the gain. Each service below can stand on its own, and they fit together when a problem spans several areas.
01
Clear, agreed flow for the work that matters most.
Work waits between departments, approvals take too long, or rework and duplicated effort keep recurring and nobody owns the fix.
Current-state analysis of one workflow with the people who run it. Constraint identification, so effort goes where it will change the outcome. Future-state workflows with clear responsibilities for each step.
Operational and supply-chain process improvement and organisation design, applied in mining, industrial products and public-sector organisations.
Lead time for the workflow, the amount of work waiting between steps, and the rate of rework, each measured against a baseline taken before any change.
02
Technology chosen after the operating problem is understood.
Your systems do not support how work really runs, data is keyed into several places, or a new tool is being considered and the requirements are not yet clear.
Requirements gathered from real work rather than a feature list. Evaluation of suitable technology choices. Configuration or implementation support, with testing against the redesigned process and time spent on adoption.
Selection and implementation of enterprise resource planning and asset management systems, enterprise architecture and technology selection, including a multi-country roll-out across Africa.
Duplicate entry removed, the share of work completed in the system rather than alongside it, and the error rate before and after go-live.
03
Routines that keep the gains in place.
Performance is hard to see, process ownership is unclear, or improvements from an earlier project have slipped back.
Choosing a small set of useful measures, such as throughput, lead time, work in progress, reliability and rework. Naming an owner for each process. Setting up management routines and a structured improvement backlog.
Programme and project management, cost management programmes run through a PMO framework, and governance routines such as risk, issue and decision logs.
Whether the measures are reviewed on schedule, whether the agreed changes are still in use after several months, and whether the backlog is being worked.
04
Direction for technology and digital investment, tied to the operations it must serve.
Several technology decisions are pending without one plan behind them, a digital programme has stalled, or leaders need to agree what to invest in first.
Assessing the current position and the operating goals. Developing a digital strategy with clear priorities. Building a multi-year implementation roadmap, with the governance that keeps it on course, and defining the operational dashboards that show whether it is working.
Digital transformation strategies for operations and mining divisions, followed by two-year implementation roadmaps, including process automation and an operational dashboard.
Whether roadmap milestones are met, whether investment decisions follow the agreed priorities, and whether the dashboards are used in management routines.
A note on measures: local time savings, released capacity and realised financial benefits are three different things. We keep them separate in any analysis. Higher utilisation of one resource does not, on its own, improve overall business performance, so we test each change against the result that matters to you.
