From Firefighting to Predictable Planning: Qlector at Smart Manufacturing Webinar

On September 25, our CRO, Ognjen Backović, was a speaker at the **ZIT & SRIP GoDigital webinar “Smart Manufacturing – How to Increase Efficiency with Digital Solutions and AI.”

**During the session, Ognjen addressed one of the most pressing challenges in manufacturing: the hidden costs caused by poor production planning.

One participant estimated these hidden costs at 20–30% of revenue, while research shows they are typically closer to 5–10%. This gap highlights how strongly manufacturing leaders feel the impact of firefighting, rescheduling, and inefficiencies on the shop floor.

In his talk, Ognjen explained how manufacturers can shift:

• from reactive firefighting
• to predictable and resilient production planning.

With Qlector LEAP, companies can cut hidden costs, free up working capital, and give planners back their time — to focus on improvements instead of daily crises._
