For plant managers and reporting leads

See which plant reports never arrived

Certant turns the tables in your daily and weekly operating reports into data you can query, and shows each plant and period with no report.

Works from the reports your plants already send.

Each cell is a report that arrived, or one that didn't.
The problem

Missing weeks go unnoticed

Each plant sends a weekly operating report. When one doesn't arrive, the summary spreadsheet has a blank cell, and the monthly average is quietly worked out from the weeks that did come in.

Nobody chases the missing week because nothing flagged it.

The documents

What Certant reads

Once the tables are read, you can ask questions across plants and weeks in plain English and get a table back.

DocumentWhat it supplies

The grid shows a missing report and a reported breach as two different cells.
The approval

Each exception goes to a person

A missing report or a breached metric becomes an exception with its source attached. Certant drafts the follow-up, and the reporting lead approves it before the plant hears about it.

Proposed follow-upExample
To
Morwell plant manager
Draft
"We haven't received Morwell's operating report for week 42. Weeks 41 and 43 are on file. Could you send it, or let us know if the plant didn't run that week?"

Scope

What setup involves

We agree the reporting calendar and the metric definitions with you first, because plants often name the same measure differently. Then we load a recent run of reports and check the grid against what you know was missing.

AreaWhat to expect
SourceCertant reads reports and exports. It doesn't take a live stream from sensors or control systems.
MetricsThresholds come from your approved documents, using definitions agreed at setup.
DecisionsIt reports gaps and breaches. It doesn't optimise yield or schedules, or control anything in the plant.
