FAQ

Frequently asked questions about shop floor execution

What is shop floor execution software?

A digital system that translates shift plans into standardized, trackable actions for frontline workers closing the gap between strategy and reality. You could see it as a combination of MES + connected worker + CMMS. 

How does shop floor execution software improve OEE?

By eliminating unplanned stops through faster issue resolution, standardizing work to reduce variation, and giving supervisors real-time data to intervene before output is lost.

How long does L2L implementation take?

Most customers are live in weeks, not months. Most customers see their first results in the first month of usage. 

Does L2L replace our ERP?

No. L2L complements ERP by handling the 'last mile' of execution on the floor that ERPs were never designed to manage. L2L pulls plans down from the ERP and pushes real-time results back up.

Can L2L replace our MES?

In most plants, yes. It's also faster than re-implementing a legacy MES. L2L delivers the execution capabilities most teams actually use, without the bloat and IT overhead. For highly regulated environments needing full ISA-95 compliance, L2L is often deployed alongside an existing MES.

What about paper-based processes can we still phase them out?

Yes. L2L's intuitive builder lets operations teams digitize existing instructions and checklists without IT involvement. Most customers replace their first set of paper processes within days of onboarding.

How does shop floor execution connect to maintenance and quality?

It's one platform, not three. An abnormality raised during execution can auto-trigger a maintenance work order. A quality fail can pause a line and escalate to a supervisor. One system of record, no communication gaps.
