Plant totals hid the production choice.
A single plant total could not tell a planner where a particular tile size would run best. A size could become faster even when the overall plant total moved the other way. The useful comparison was tiles per hour for the same size, at each plant.
The same size ran differently at each plant.
Neuron kept tile size, plant and production speed together. Planning and production could compare 30×45, 30×30, 40×40 and 30×60 separately, rather than treating the product mix as one average.
Planning used the size and the plant when placing production, choosing where each size pressed faster.
All four measured sizes gained.
By Month 7, each measured size produced more tiles per hour than in Month 1. The plants reported separate monthly revenue increases: ₹11 lakh at one plant and ₹9 lakh at the other.
Every measured tile size ran faster.
| Tile size | Month 1 · tiles/hour | Month 7 · tiles/hour | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30×45 | 212 | 240 | 13% |
| 30×30 | 190 | 227 | 19% |
| 40×40 | 148 | 172 | 16% |
| 30×60 | 220 | 229 | 4% |
Two plants, Month 1 to Month 7. These are reported speed gains by tile size; the report does not break the rates down by plant. Percentage changes are rounded. Additional monthly revenue is reported separately for each plant.
