| Abstract: | This paper presents the design and implementation of a digital feedback loop for optimizing material consumption in a manufacturing environment. The study focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that often lack access to costly Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). We demonstrate how commonly available tools such as Microsoft Excel, Power Query, and open-source solutions can be combined. We created a functional feedback mechanism linking ERP data, CNC machine outputs, and production logs. The proposed solution was developed and tested in a woodworking company producing custom furniture components. By integrating heterogeneous data sources, we established a real-time overview of material usage and waste, reducing manual work and increasing process transparency. The study highlights the role of simple Extract Transform Load (ETL) tools in supporting smart manufacturing, data-driven decision-making, and continuous process improvement. |
