Build — Factory Operations & Quality
Asset Management Work Flow
ConceptBuild
Production managers and maintenance teams get a unified view of all factory assets — combining performance trends, maintenance schedules, parts inventory, and service request status — enabling proactive asset lifecycle management and reducing unplanned downtime.
Agentic behaviors
- Generates factory-wide asset performance summary reports on demand or on schedule
- Analyzes machine efficiency metrics and surfaces MTTR improvement opportunities
- Detects underperforming assets and recommends preemptive corrective actions
- Monitors spare parts inventory and autonomously generates supplier inventory check requests when stock falls below safety threshold
- Creates and routes service request tickets for diagnostic checks via Teams
Features & capabilities
| Asset Performance Summary | Generates report of operational status across all monitored assets: uptime, OEE contribution, active alerts, scheduled maintenance |
| MTTR Analyzer | Breaks down MTTR by asset, failure mode, and technician; recommends process, tooling, or training improvements to reduce response times |
| Underperformance Alert with Recommendation | Identifies assets operating below efficiency thresholds; generates detailed analysis including performance trends, predicted maintenance dates, and recommended preemptive actions |
| Inventory & Parts Tracker | Monitors spare parts inventory levels against BOM-driven demand; flags shortages and drafts supplier inquiry messages |
| Diagnostic Ticket Creator | Generates service request tickets in EAM/CMMS via Teams integration when anomalies require investigation |
| Material Processing Efficiency Monitor | Tracks efficiency and inventory metrics for manufacturing consumables; highlights shortages or surpluses by line |
| Supplier Inventory Check | Drafts structured inventory availability requests to primary and backup suppliers, including required specs and urgency context |

Configured per-organization in the Control Tower once this workflow is enabled for your team.
Configurations & Options
Set up in the Control Tower once this workflow is enabled — shown here so you know what to expect.
Configurations
- Parts reorder dual-approval threshold ($)
Options
- Require dual approval for parts reordersWhen on, parts reorders above the threshold require both maintenance and procurement approval. When off, maintenance approval alone is sufficient.
Governance requirements
- Supplier inquiry drafts require procurement team approval before transmission — no autonomous purchase order creation
- Asset shutdown recommendations require plant manager sign-off
- Diagnostic tickets auto-assigned to appropriate technician based on skill matrix but flagged for supervisor review
- Parts reorder above defined dollar threshold requires dual approval (maintenance + procurement)
