FIELD NOTES

Research, published.

When the study our thinking is built on ran in India, 16% of neighbouring firms had heard of it and 2% knew any detail. Ideas do not travel between firms on their own. So we write things down.

  1. Forthcoming

    Eight units of energy in one sample

    Three hundred Indian listed companies, roughly 70% of the market by capitalisation, reported energy in eight different units. Several added male and female turnover rates together. What that tells you about your own numbers.

  2. Forthcoming

    Why your file gets refused, and why that is the feature

    What an ingestion pipeline does when a column is ambiguous, and why guessing is the expensive option.

  3. Forthcoming

    Why 45 days beats any percentile

    The MSMED Act gives you a statutory payment norm and section 43B(h) gives it teeth. For most mid market manufacturers it is sharper than any industry benchmark, because it is the number with legal consequences attached.

  4. Forthcoming

    The 85% OEE number should never have been quoted to you

    It traces to Japanese plants that won TPM awards in the 1970s and 80s. ISO 22400 standardises how OEE is defined and deliberately refuses to set a target value.

An open drawer of a filing cabinet, packed with index cards

One piece a month. Twelve good ones a year beats forty nobody finishes.

TRY IT ON YOUR OWN DATA

Bring the messiest file you have.

Put it through the same road our clients' data travels. It will either read correctly, or tell you exactly what to change. Nothing is stored, and you do not need an account.
