Operations Capacity Evaluation
Move from a rough problem to a defensible capital case.
The website can show that the mounting room is costing money. The OCE is the onsite evaluation that turns that signal into an audit-grade package finance can use.

Use the tools to see the problem. Use the OCE to defend the capital.
Start Here
Not every plant needs a full OCE.
Step 1
A short qualifying Snapshot.
Step 2
A paid OCE, scoped only after both teams agree it is the right next move.
Step 1
Snapshot
Free discovery conversation
A focused conversation about sleeve volume, plate inventory, press count, current pain points, and capital plans on the horizon.
Clear read on whether your operation is the right fit for an OCE
Enough signal for Flexopodz to know whether to propose one
No commitment, no pressure, just a recommendation on the next step
Step 2
Operational Capacity Evaluation
Credited to future purchase
An onsite evaluation that turns the rough cost-of-current-state into a sourced capital case your finance team can use.
Full mounting walkthrough, interviews, and measurement
Obsolescence reconciliation, purge discipline, and safety/LTI findings
Board-ready report, operations plan, and financial decision package
100% of the fee credited if you move forward within 12 months
The Gap The OCE Fills
Self-serve gets the plant to the problem. The OCE gets finance to the decision.
The calculators and self-serve evaluation are useful because they make the current state visible. They are still directional. The OCE is different: it puts trained eyes on the floor and turns the findings into a document leadership can defend.
Website tools
Directional
The plant can see the rough cost of the current state, compare configurations, and decide whether the issue is large enough to pursue.
OCE
Defensible
The onsite evaluation reconciles obsolete inventory, purge discipline, layout constraints, and the safety/LTI anchor so the capital request is tied to facts from the floor.
Directional vs. defensible
This output shows the problem. The OCE builds the number finance can use.
These tools are based on what you enter. They help size the issue, compare options, and decide whether the problem is worth pursuing. The onsite OCE reconciles obsolete inventory, purge discipline, floor conditions, and safety/LTI exposure so the capital case can stand up in the room where the money gets approved.
Best fit for an OCE
3+ presses
High sleeve and plate inventory
Frequent job changes
Mounting delays or visible search time
Capital decision in the next 3-12 months
Multi-shift or multi-plant complexity
Usually not a fit
Small single- or few-press operations
Low inventory complexity
Plants needing a straightforward storage quote
Operations with no near-term capital decision
For these operations, Flexopodz can usually quote equipment directly after the Snapshot conversation.
What Is Included
Four phases of operations engineering built around your plant.
Phase 1
Discovery
One full day onsite to document what affects how the mounting room runs today.
Phase 2
Operations plan
A custom plan for storage, equipment, layout, staging, and cart flow.
Phase 3
Technology roadmap
A scoped future-state roadmap for the operating system that keeps waste from rebuilding.
Phase 4
Financial decision package
A sourced cost case comparing doing nothing with moving forward under the plan.
Pricing
Get the right scope before pricing the work.
The discovery call comes first. If the self-serve signal is material, we scope the evaluation needed to turn that directional range into a defensible capital case.
Start with a conversation
Book a discovery meeting for OCE details and pricing.
We will review your plant, the decision you are trying to make, and whether the next step is a direct equipment quote, a Snapshot, or a full onsite OCE.

Start with a discovery call.
We will determine whether the issue is large enough for an OCE, what information is needed, and whether the capital case requires onsite findings before finance can act.
