Programme Tracks for Operations & Costing

Four focused tracks built around the realities of souvenir and promotional B2B production. Each one covers a specific layer of operational control, from raw material visibility to ISO-aligned process mapping.

Not sure which track fits your production floor?

Start with a short diagnostic call. We map your current stock control, OPEX structure and process documentation, then recommend the track that matches your bottlenecks.

Raw Material Inventory Automation

Barcode and RFID setups for small and mid-sized factories. Covers stock counting cycles, reorder points and ERP integration without stopping production.

Format: 6-week cohort · Level: foundation

OPEX & Unit Cost Control

Track machine downtime, rework and changeover time per unit. Build a simple cost-per-piece dashboard that shows where margins actually leak.

Format: 4-week workshop · Level: intermediate

ISO 9001 for Flexible Batch Runs

Scale quality management down to low-volume custom orders. Practical documentation, process mapping and internal audits that fit a fast-changing floor.

Format: 8-week programme · Level: advanced

Supply Chain & Sourcing Optimisation

Evaluate supplier lead times, safety stock levels and transport costs for promo materials. Includes a negotiation checklist for raw material contracts.

Format: 5-week track · Level: intermediate

Operational Toolbox for Promo Production

Practical modules that turn raw material tracking, OPEX control, and ISO documentation into daily routines your team can actually follow.

Raw Material Ledger Barcode-based stock intake and issue tracking for enamel, metal blanks, and packaging — with variance alerts per batch.
OPEX Per Unit Calculator Break down machine hours, changeover time, and rework rates into a per-unit cost figure you can compare across product lines.
ISO 9001 Process Maps Simplified flowcharts and checklists adapted for low-volume custom runs, so audits don't stall flexible production.
Supplier Lead-Time Tracker Monitor delivery windows for foil, magnets, and cartons to spot bottlenecks before they delay client orders.
Cost Estimate Templates Pre-built spreadsheets for quoting B2B jobs — material, labour, overhead, and margin in one structured sheet.

Client notes on real cost savings

Production managers and owners share what changed after applying the OPEX and inventory routines from the courses.

We ran the raw material audit from module two and found 14% of our aluminium blanks were written off as scrap, but the real issue was a misconfigured reorder point. After fixing the threshold, our stockouts dropped to zero for three straight months.

Tatiana Akhmedova — production planner, souvenir badge line

The ISO process mapping template looked too simple at first, but it exposed a bottleneck in our enamel filling station. We re-sequenced the workflow and cut batch changeover time from 40 minutes to 17. That alone paid for the course.

Shalva Kajaya — workshop supervisor, promo merchandise

I used the unit cost breakdown sheet to recalculate our magnetic pin pricing. Turns out we were underpricing the epoxy coating step by 22%. The new cost model gave us a clear margin picture without scaring off B2B clients.

Irma Bregvadze — commercial director, custom pins factory

The supply chain checklist helped us renegotiate with two foil suppliers. We consolidated orders by colour family and reduced inbound freight cost per kilo by 11%. The template is still in use every quarter.

Zurab Dvali — procurement lead, advertising production

What stood out was the OPEX tracking per unit, not just per batch. We now see exactly where electricity and reject rates eat into each order. Our monthly variance report went from a guessing game to a precise table.

From Request to Costed Production Run

Our training process follows the same sequence we use when auditing a real B2B factory floor: clarify the brief, map the material flow, then build a costing model you can defend.

Step 01

Brief & Scope

We start by defining the product range, batch sizes, and delivery constraints. No assumptions — every input is documented before we touch a spreadsheet.

Step 02

Material Flow Map

Raw stock, work-in-progress, finished goods. We trace each stage of your production line and flag where inventory sits idle or gets lost.

Step 03

Cost Model Build

Direct materials, labour hours, machine overheads, and OPEX are broken into per-unit rates. You get a live calculation table, not a static estimate.

Step 04

Process Standardisation

We align your workflows with ISO 9001 principles — practical documentation, clear checkpoints, and internal audit routines that fit small-batch runs.

Step 05

Review & Handover

You receive a full costing workbook, a process manual, and a training session for your team. We stay available for follow-up audits and refinements.
