See how work really flows, then make it better.
CourageMFG maps how work actually moves through every application and how people use the screens, and suggests improvements, written up by AI when Courage Chat is set up. Take one up and it becomes an improvement issue, measured afterwards against the same number. Kaizen, ideas from the floor, 5S and approvals sit alongside.

Replaces
- Celonis, or a consultant's value-stream map that's out of date the week after
- project plans in spreadsheets and status meetings
- Visio and Lucidchart swimlanes and SOPs in Word
Process mining across every app
Every record's history, from issues, CAPAs and work orders to tickets, opportunities, NCRs and PO confirmations, becomes an event log. CourageMFG maps it every few minutes: where the time goes, work going backwards, handoffs and records that stall.
- No Celonis project, no consultant's map
- Built from the records people already work in

How people use the screens
Screens people flip between, trips out to Business Central, actions that keep getting rejected and work done one record at a time: the friction a process map can't see.

From suggestion to verified saving
Ideas from the floor, reviewed and taken up; kaizen projects with the problem, countermeasures, an owner, and estimated and verified savings.

Approvals without email chains
Requests for capex, deviations and purchases, each with an approver, a stage and a history of every stage change.

Suggestions, measured after
Each suggestion names the number it should move. Take it up and CourageMFG raises an improvement issue and keeps measuring that number, so you know whether it worked.
Build the next app
Simple apps in CourageMFG are each defined in one readable spec: stages, fields, numbering and list. When an improvement needs an app, it's a spec change and a deploy, not a new subscription.
The Implementation Factory
Each improvement project has a measure, a current value and a target. AI and people do the work in a test copy. People approve each change. CourageMFG measures the result at 7, 30 and 90 days.
With Business Central
CourageMFG reads what it needs live through BC's own APIs and writes back through BC's own validation, as the person doing the work.
Reads from Business Central
- Items, work centers and orders the improvement touches
The applications
For CI leads, plant managers and anyone with an idea. Each one is a view of the same records; where Business Central already does the job, CourageMFG links straight to it.
Process mining
LiveMaps how work actually flows through every CourageMFG module and how people use the screens, then suggests what to improve, written by AI.

Tasks for AI and people
LiveEach task has a change type, an approver, a test copy and a rollback plan. AI coding tools get ready tasks through the MCP server.
Process maps and SOPs
LiveSwimlane maps of how each process runs, by role and system. Each map is its SOP, and people and AI agents follow the same released revision.
