    TACTICAL OPERATING KNOWLEDGE

    What we actually examine, change, and measure.

    This playbook changes by industry. For discrete manufacturing, Aryo moves from the operating question to the specific analyses, decisions, workflows, and management measures underneath it.

    OPERATING QUESTION

    Which orders consume capacity without earning an adequate return?

    WHAT ARYO EXAMINES AND CHANGES
    1. 01Rebuild contribution using actual routings, labor, material, freight, and warranty
    2. 02Reconcile standard cost to purchase-price, usage, mix, and efficiency variance
    3. 03Reset price, MOQ, lead-time, and service rules by customer and product
