AI-Powered Operations — Case Study: The Clarity Tune-Up

Summary

A small custom fabrication workshop in Brunswick was drowning in scheduling chaos, leading to missed deadlines and daily firefighting. They implemented our affordable 2-week “Clarity Tune-Up” program. We replaced their chaotic whiteboard with a simple visual management system powered by a daily AI priority list. The result: in 10 working days, on-time delivery improved by 22%, daily planning time was cut by 6 hours per week, and the team gained full visibility of their workflow for a one-time investment of A$3,500.

Client

• Name: Precision Fabrication Co. (Confidential)
• Industry: Small-Batch Metal Fabrication
• Location: Brunswick, Melbourne
• Scale: 1 workshop, 8 employees, ~50 active jobs per month.

Challenge

• An outdated whiteboard scheduling system caused constant missed deadlines and customer complaints.
• The workshop supervisor spent over an hour daily manually prioritizing work and answering “what’s next?” questions.

Solution

A hyper-focused, two-part system delivered in 2 weeks.

Implemented a simple colour-coded alert system (Red = Overdue, Yellow = At Risk). Established clear “rules of the road” for moving jobs between columns.
• The Daily Priority Engine – A simple, secure web form for the owner to input job details (due date, customer, value) in under 5 minutes. An AI-powered system that processes this data overnight to generate a single, optimized priority list for the next day. No software installation or ERP integration required.

Implementation Timeline

• Day 1-2: Discovery & Design. Virtual workshop to map current pain points and co-design the visual board.
• Day 3-5: System Setup. Physical Kanban board shipped and installed. Team training on the new process.
• Day 6-9: Go-Live & Coaching. Daily priority list introduced. Light-touch virtual coaching to reinforce new habits.

Governance and Safeguards

• Workshop supervisor maintains final authority to adjust priorities based on workshop conditions.
