The Problem

Your production is running.
But the pace is out of control.

When Production Planning and Production work from different information, the result is excess inventory, product shortages, and late deliveries. Do these symptoms sound familiar?

📦
Inventory outside the ideal level Sometimes there's excess product sitting in the warehouse, sometimes there's a shortage to meet demand — with no visibility into what's currently in production.
🎯
Production target not met The planned volume doesn't match what's delivered — and you only find out at the end of the shift, when it's too late to recover.
🔀
Unbalanced product mix The line produces what's easiest, not what demand requires — the SKU mix doesn't reflect what the market needs.
📋
Scheduling and delivery out of sync Production Planning schedules one thing, production delivers another — with no unified dashboard showing what was planned versus what was produced.
Unpredictable lead time per SKU No one knows how long each product takes to move through the factory — the delivery date given to the customer is a guess, not a data point.
🗂
Decisions made without flow visibility Without knowing where each batch is in the factory, reprioritizing orders or adjusting production pace becomes a gamble — not a data-driven decision.

If you recognized at least 2 of these symptoms, your operation needs more precise control over its production pace.

The Solution

Your planned demand and your actual production, in one place.

Pace Management cross-references your factory's planned demand with what's actually being produced — showing whether you'll deliver on time before the delay happens, not after.

📊

Planned vs. actual, always visible

See at any moment whether actual production is aligned with planned demand — or whether there's a risk of delay before it happens.

Risk visible before the delay
📎

Just attach your demand spreadsheet

No need to re-register anything from scratch: attach your Excel file with products, quantities, and delivery dates, and the system automatically cross-references it with real production logs.

No re-entry rework
📦

Inventory policies per product

Set the standard batch size and average monthly demand for each product — Cogtive automatically calculates the ideal inventory level.

No excess, no shortage
🔍

Detail by SKU, not just by line

See the scheduled, in-production, and delivered quantity for each SKU — with average lead time in days.

Built on solid OEE and Flow View foundations

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Cogtive's Pace Management?

We answer the most common questions from production managers, production planning teams, and operational excellence leaders before booking a demo.

Pace Management compares your factory's actual production with planned demand, showing whether progress is aligned with commercial targets or whether there's a risk of delivery delays. You attach a demand spreadsheet and the system cross-references it with real production logs.

Yes. Pace Management works for both batch and continuous production — what matters is having planned demand registered and production logs flowing through OEE and Flow View.

The dashboard shows monthly or weekly target progress and flags deviations as soon as they happen, letting Production Planning adjust the schedule before the delay becomes real.

Cogtive clients have reduced lead time by up to 47% using Pace Management — like Brasterápica, which also gained more predictability in inventory and material flow management.

Yes. You can attach your demand spreadsheet (Excel) directly in the system, plus benefit from native ERP integration, Single Sign-On, and an open API.

Yes, we recommend it. Pace Management uses the output rate calculated by Flow View and the data reliability ensured by OEE — without these two layers working well, Pace Management's results will be limited.

Once OEE and Flow View are already up and running, implementation is quick: you set up inventory policies per product and attach your demand spreadsheet — the dashboards automatically cross-reference the data.
