The PLEX engineering team will visit your facility to help measure the potential productivity improvements that PLEX can deliver your operations in two tangible ways:

  1. They will leverage data from APQC to benchmark your business against manufacturing peers across several key operational metrics to help identify immediate areas of business improvement.
  2. Using historical customer business improvement scores, the PLEX team will accurately predict the ROI you can expect to achieve using PLEX. This payback projection is unique to each business and provides a reliable gage to justify an investment in our software.
