A shared manufacturing system can become several local products as each plant adds its own requirements. GTMI helps define what stays common, what can vary, and what a site must demonstrate before deployment.
For product owners and programme teams deploying manufacturing software across plants, regions, and vendors.

Local differences are reviewed against the shared product.
Equipment, products, and local procedures do differ. Trouble begins when the programme has no agreed way to handle those differences. A configuration request becomes a code fork, a vendor fix becomes an undocumented dependency, and support loses track of which behaviour belongs to the shared product.
Own the common workflow and release.
Approve permitted process and equipment differences.
Review infrastructure, evidence, training, and cutover.
Record the deployed version and local responsibilities.
We examine the common workflows, configuration rules, and decision rights. A site requirement may belong in product configuration, a local integration, or a process outside the system. The decision needs an owner and evidence, with a route to approve exceptions.
Each deployment needs agreed inputs: infrastructure, equipment interfaces, master data, validation evidence, training, and cutover arrangements. We compare a planned or recent deployment against those needs to establish whether the constraint sits in the product, the site, or their dependencies.
GTMI can help apply site entry criteria, deployment gates, and escalation paths to the next rollout. The handover records what was deployed, which exceptions were accepted, and who supports each part. Lessons from that site feed back into the shared product and rollout process.
The service pages explain the work you can commission, the outputs and how it fits alongside your team.
The service explains the contribution and the decisions its outputs support. Where an example is shown, it uses fictional manufacturing data.
No. Equipment and process differences may need configuration or local interfaces. The governance model defines which variation is permitted and how exceptions are reviewed.
Yes. Comparing a live deployment with the product baseline can expose undocumented variation and support gaps. That review can inform the criteria for the next site.
Start with the product baseline, the next deployment, and the local requirements still under discussion. We can help define the decisions and readiness evidence needed before that site commits to cutover.
