THE OPPORTUNITES
After several years of operation, the melting and ingot production workshop faced a critical decline in performance.
Decreasing production volumes, high material losses, and the erosion of operational know-how were threatening production capacity, quality standards, and overall competitiveness.
The organization reached a tipping point where the rapid industrialization of operations, performance management, and the strengthening of workforce capabilities became essential to restore growth and secure long-term profitability.
