The problem

Procurement is surveyed. The engineer who uses the machine is not.

Account management measures the buying relationship while the experience that decides repurchase happens on site, months later, during commissioning and the first breakdown.

  • Feedback collected from the signatory, not from the user
  • Commissioning treated as a project task rather than a journey stage
  • Spare parts and service measured on fulfilment, never on downtime felt
“The order was six weeks out. We only found out it had slipped when it did not arrive and the line was already stopped.”

The operational fact

Industrial buyers plan capacity around promised dates, so an unflagged slip costs the customer far more than the delay itself and is remembered at retender.

* Based on heuristics. These figures are modelled from the René method and observed sector patterns, not reported client results. Your own numbers replace them once a journey is measured.

What it costs to leave alone

The case for acting now
01A line stopped on your dateThe cost of a missed delivery is the customer's downtime, not your late shipment, and it is priced into the next contract.
02Lead-time chasing as a hidden costStatus enquiries consume sales and planning hours that were never quoted and never recovered.
03Commissioning that undoes the saleA well-built machine handed over badly is remembered as a badly built machine.
