What does friction cost your supply chain?
5 questions. 3 minutes. Your personalized number.
5 QUESTIONS
Where does friction sit in your operation?
Recognize the situations. Pick what fits best.
Most operations directors in logistics and manufacturing recognize at least three of these five situations.
Answer all 5 questions first.
YOUR ORGANIZATION
Almost there. We need three numbers.
To calculate your personalized friction cost.
YOUR RESULT
Friction score: 0/20
€0
per year in friction costs
Your answers determine friction hours per employee per week. We multiply by your number of employees, working weeks per year, and hourly employer cost (salary + 35% social charges).
This is a conservative estimate, not a best-case scenario. Goal: conversation starter, not accountant's report.
Your results are ready.
Where do we send your personal friction report?
Pieter will personally review your results and send you a friction report within 48 hours.
Your data will not be shared. No spam.
COSTS vs. BENEFITS
What friction costs. What elimination yields.
What friction costs
€0
estimated annual friction costs
Every year you wait, you pay this again.
What elimination yields
€0
estimated annual benefit
Hours that return for work that truly creates value.
Cost calculation based on your inputs. Productivity gain: 70% of freed hours redirected to value-adding work at 1.3x hourly value. Recruitment savings: conservative estimate based on industry averages.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Your friction in perspective
What happens with the freed hours?
A planner who no longer spends three hours a day collecting data can actually plan. A warehouse operator who no longer copies files manually keeps inventory accurate. A logistics coordinator who doesn't wait for approvals, delivers on time.
Let computers do what they're better at: collecting, combining, presenting data. And let people do what they're better at: judging, deciding, improving.
