Template Body

{{firstName}} — first 90 days at {{companyName}}
Hi {{firstName}},

I saw you just stepped into the Plant Manager role at {{companyName}} — congratulations!

Most new Plant Managers we work with face three immediate pressures:

1. **Unplanned downtime** → Each line stop costs $50K-$120K because maintenance gets alerted too late
2. **PPAP bottlenecks** → Teams waste 3-4 days per submission hunting down torque data and inspection photos
3. **Quality control gaps** → Defect trends sit in spreadsheets while OEMs push for real-time visibility

We helped Toyota's Tier 1 stamping supplier cut scrap from 14% to 9% in 60 days and reduce PPAP cycle time by 40%.

Can I show you a quick 15-minute walkthrough of how we solve these specific to automotive parts?
