APEX Forge
APEX Forge OES
Operational Execution System
Reduce operational guesswork. Create execution visibility. Establish the foundation that makes performance measurable and makes risk visible—so you can scale with confidence using OIRS™ operational intelligence.
Forge runs execution. OIRS™ turns it into intelligence.
APEX Forge OES is operational infrastructure: it establishes reliable execution visibility and control points. OIRS™ operational intelligence uses real signals to quantify risk, identify where profit is gained or lost, and guide decisions that scale. Forge can run standalone or feed OIRS™ packages.
APEX Forge OES
Captures day-to-day operational truth so leaders can see flow, WIP, and inventory status with confidence.
- Execution visibility
- Inventory presence & flow
- Throughput & dwell time
OIRS™ packages
Quantify risk and readiness using operational signals—then translate drift into prioritized actions and next steps.
- OIRS™ scoring & posture
- Risk drivers & trend signals
- Scaling readiness insights
The outcome
Operational clarity first—then intelligence that tells you what matters most, what to fix next, and how to scale without chaos.
- Fewer surprises
- More control
- Better decisions
Who this is for
Forge OES is built for organizations that need a reliable operational system—fast—so execution becomes visible, measurable, and controllable. This is especially relevant when teams are running on spreadsheets, handwritten notes, or disconnected systems.
Execution is hard to see
Work is happening, but you can’t reliably see where it stalls, why it stalls, or what is truly “ready.”
Inventory & WIP are unclear
You have material, WIP, or finished goods—yet location, aging, and status are not consistently visible.
Performance is inconsistent
Throughput varies by day, shift, or team. You need operational truth to stabilize and improve.
What’s included
Forge OES is designed to scale through automation-first delivery. Most deployments are executed remotely with guided onboarding and structured support—without heavy IT lift.
Operational execution visibility
Establish consistent execution signals across your workflow so you can see what is moving, what is stuck, and what is ready.
- Work-item & stage visibility
- Timestamped execution events
- Dwell time & bottleneck indicators
Two-week stabilization baseline
Capture a two-week baseline to validate signals, stabilize the model, and establish operational truth you can trust.
- Baseline capture period
- Signal validation & normalization
- Stabilization recommendations
Forge Dashboard + executive readout
Forge Dashboard views reveal flow, throughput, inventory aging, and constraint points—so leaders can act with clarity.
- Forge Dashboard delivery
- Operational KPI views
- Executive readout + next-step roadmap
Optional: Forge Scan App (PWA) capture layer
Forge can include an installable Scan App that standardizes operator capture across receiving, production, packaging, and shipping. It supports phone cameras, Bluetooth scanners, and rugged RF devices (keyboard wedge), with offline-tolerant capture.
- Tenant-branded workflows (configuration-driven)
- Camera scanning + scanner input support
- Real-time event feed into Forge Dashboard
Ongoing continuity subscription (recommended)
After setup, the monthly continuity plan keeps the system stable through data hygiene, dashboard maintenance, and light support—so visibility does not decay over time.
How it works
Forge OES follows a structured delivery loop designed for speed, stability, and adoption in real operations.
Define workflow stages, event types, and minimum required fields for reliable, repeatable visibility.
Deploy capture mechanisms (Scan App, QR labels, or simple forms) and onboard the team for consistent usage.
Two weeks of live capture establishes a trustworthy baseline and reveals bottlenecks, dwell time, and aging.
Forge Dashboard views and an executive readout clarify where performance is gained or lost—and what to do next to stabilize and grow.
Signs you’re ready for Forge OES
If these are true, Forge OES is likely the correct starting point.
- Leaders lack reliable visibility into what is truly happening in execution.
- Inventory, WIP, or finished goods are difficult to locate and age reliably.
- Throughput varies and bottlenecks feel random instead of measurable.
- Reporting exists, but it doesn’t drive daily operational control.

FAQ
How fast can we get visibility?
Most teams begin seeing usable execution visibility within days. The two-week baseline period stabilizes signals and establishes a trustworthy operating picture.
What dashboard do we receive?
You receive Forge Dashboard views that show execution flow, throughput, WIP/inventory status, aging, and bottlenecks. Dashboards are delivered as part of the setup and maintained via the continuity subscription (if selected).
Is Forge OES remote or on-site?
Forge is designed for automation-first, remote-first deployment. Delivery approach is scoped based on complexity and environment, with the goal of minimizing disruption and IT burden.
What determines the setup price range?
Pricing is based on the number of workflows/stages, sites/areas, the complexity of the operating model, and the level of support required during stabilization.
Do we need new hardware or software?
No specialized hardware is required. Forge works with practical adoption in real operations, including phone cameras, Bluetooth scanners, and rugged RF devices (keyboard wedge).
What do we get in the monthly continuity subscription?
Ongoing continuity includes system stability support, Forge Dashboard maintenance, data hygiene, and a monthly operational snapshot to keep signals trustworthy over time.
How does Forge connect to OIRS™ packages?
Forge establishes operational truth. OIRS™ packages use that truth to quantify risk, identify drivers, and create reliable decision signals for growth and scale.
