Tulip Optimization Workshop
Discover. Align. Accelerate.
Transforming your shop floor with Tulip starts with understanding how people, processes, and systems work together. SPK’s Tulip Optimization Workshop is a hands-on, on-site engagement designed to help your manufacturing, engineering, and IT teams align around how Tulip can best deliver measurable impact — whether you’re just beginning implementation, expanding to a new plant, or ready to improve your current setup.
What is the Tulip Optimization Workshop?
The Tulip Optimization Workshop is a structured, collaborative engagement led by SPK’s manufacturing and digital transformation experts. We visit your facility (or multiple sites) to analyze how your operations run today. Our team will review the flow of materials, data, and decisions, and how Tulip can enhance that workflow.
We focus on aligning Tulip’s capabilities with your desired business outcomes: improved quality, higher throughput, real-time visibility, and a more empowered workforce.
The Tulip Optimization Workshop is Ideal For
- Manufacturers that have implemented Tulip but want to drive deeper adoption or optimization.
- Organizations planning to roll out Tulip to new lines or facilities and need an implementation strategy.
- Teams seeking to align digital initiatives with real-world operations on the floor.
What We Do On-Site
During the workshop, SPK’s team works side-by-side with your operators, engineers, and managers to:
- Observe and document current workflows — capturing the real ways people and machines interact on the shop floor.
- Evaluate your existing Tulip environment — including app configurations, station design, dashboards, and data integrations.
- Map your desired future state — identifying gaps, bottlenecks, and opportunities for automation or improved visibility.
- Prioritize actionable improvements — building a roadmap of quick wins and strategic next steps that align with your business goals.
By the end of the engagement, you’ll have a clear picture of how Tulip can be configured or expanded to deliver higher efficiency, quality, and insight across operations.
Tulip Optimization Workshop Deliverables You’ll Receive
After the on-site visit, SPK provides:
- A comprehensive findings report summarizing current workflows, system use, and observed challenges.
- A future-state process and system map highlighting opportunities for optimization or expansion.
- A prioritized improvement roadmap with actionable recommendations for implementation or application management.
Optional ongoing support through SPK’s Tulip Application Management services.
