RJG’s Gap Assessment

Find Hidden Scrap, Downtime, and Profit Leaks in Your Molding Operation

RJG’s Gap Assessment reveals where performance is falling short across process control, technology, workforce capability, and operational metrics—then gives you a prioritized action plan to improve quality, efficiency, and ROI.

Identify the gaps. Prioritize the fixes. Improve performance faster.

Why act now?

Small performance gaps become expensive fast

In molding operations, the biggest losses are often not dramatic. They show up as a little more scrap, a little more downtime, slower troubleshooting, inconsistent process discipline, and missed improvement opportunities. Over time, those small gaps quietly erode margin, throughput, and customer confidence.

Rising scrap costs

Even minor quality losses compound across material, machine time, labor, rework, and customer risk. What looks manageable today can become a major profitability problem over time.

Downtime and unstable output

When processes drift or issues take too long to isolate, production slows, teams stay reactive, and schedules become harder to hit consistently.

Labor and skills gaps

When success depends too heavily on tribal knowledge instead of repeatable process discipline, performance becomes harder to sustain, scale, and improve across shifts or locations.

What the assessment helps you uncover

A Gap Assessment compares your current molding performance against what a more efficient, stable, and profitable operation should look like. It helps you pinpoint the operational, technical, and capability gaps that are limiting results—so your team can focus on the highest-impact improvements first.

What you get from the assessment

This is not a generic audit. You receive a practical, prioritized view of where your operation is underperforming and what actions are most likely to improve results.

Prioritized Improvement Plan

A clear set of recommended actions ranked by impact, urgency, and practicality—so your team knows what to address first.

ROI Opportunity Snapshot

A focused view of where scrap, downtime, variation, or inefficiency may be suppressing profitability and where the best return may be hiding.

Technology Roadmap

Recommendations for where monitoring, process control, connected systems, or other tools may create meaningful value based on fit and need.

Machine and Process Performance Analysis

Data-backed insight into current-state capability, consistency, cycle stability, and areas where process performance is falling short.

Workforce Development Recommendations

Training and capability recommendations tied to the real gaps affecting quality, efficiency, and execution.

Next-Step Implementation Guidance

A practical path forward so your team leaves with direction—not just observations.

How it works

A clear path from current state to action

The assessment is designed to deliver useful direction quickly—not leave you with a long list of vague findings.

Step 1: Baseline Review

Step 2: Operational Assessment

Step 3: Report and Action Plan

process data on an injection molding machine

We start by understanding your goals, KPIs, scrap, downtime, quality concerns, and current operational challenges to identify where to focus first.

RJG evaluates your processes, systems, technology, and team capability against what best-practice performance should look like.

MES data for smart operations

You receive a prioritized improvement plan, identified opportunity areas, and a roadmap for the highest-impact next steps.

If implementation support is the right next step, RJG can help turn recommendations into measurable improvement.

See where your biggest improvement opportunities are

If you suspect your operation is losing performance to scrap, downtime, inconsistent processes, or capability gaps, the best next step is to make those issues visible and prioritize the right fixes.

A more useful next step than “more information”

The goal of a Gap Assessment is not to hand you a generic overview. It is to help your team understand where performance is being lost, what is creating the drag, and which improvements are worth prioritizing now.

  • Focus on practical, operational improvement
  • Built around your current state and goals
  • Designed to surface both quick wins and longer-term opportunities
  • Gives leadership and plant teams a clearer basis for action

Common questions about the Gap Assessment

What does the Gap Assessment evaluate?
It looks at the factors that most directly influence molding performance, including operational efficiency, quality control, technology use, workforce capability, and the metrics used to manage performance.
Is the assessment on-site or virtual?
The assessment can be scoped based on your operation and goals. RJG can help determine the best format during the initial conversation.
What will we receive at the end?
You’ll leave with a clearer view of where performance is falling short, what opportunities are worth prioritizing, and what the highest-impact next steps should be.
Who should be involved?
Include the people responsible for process performance, quality, production, and operational decision-making so the recommendations reflect both plant realities and business priorities.
What if we are not ready for a major technology investment?
That is exactly why the assessment is valuable. It helps surface no-cost, low-cost, and higher-impact opportunities so your team can prioritize based on fit, timing, and ROI.
