Challenges in Manufacturing
TCmanager® solves these common industry challenges:
- Unclear qualification levels across sites, shifts, and suppliers (Tier 1–3)
- Excel-based skill matrices without deadline control → re-certification chaos
- Manual safety training → audit risks and production downtime
- High effort for IATF 16949 audits and OEM inspections (BMW, VW)
- Lack of transparency in supplier compliance
Result: 40+ admin hours per month wasted, increased IATF 16949 compliance risk
