Manufacturing capability map

This manufacturing capability map focuses on production. It separates production planning from quality control, then identifies finite scheduling and in-process inspection as lower-level capabilities. The map creates a stable view of what the business must do before assigning systems, owners or improvement programmes. It can support an ERP or MES assessment, an operating-model discussion or an investment roadmap. Keep the hierarchy focused on capabilities, not process steps, projects or job titles. Extend it with product lifecycle and supply operations when those domains are in scope for the decision. The resulting view can make dependencies between scheduling, shop-floor execution and quality improvements easier to discuss.
