Operators record starts, completions and holds in a scan or a tap. Supervisors, schedulers and sales all see the same live board.
Logging at the station in seconds
We design station screens with the operators who use them: scan the traveler, tap start, tap done. A hold takes one more tap and a reason. Screens keep working if the shop Wi-Fi drops.
- Start, pause and complete
- Good and scrap quantities
- Holds with a reason
- Next job in the queue
A live board instead of a whiteboard
Every open job by work center, with late and held jobs at the top. Sales checks the same board before promising a date.
- 1 Job released
- 2 Operation started
- 3 Hold or complete
- 4 Next station
- 5 Job finished
Holds that get cleared
Each hold records a reason, such as material, quality, machine or engineering, and goes to the person who can fix it. If it stays held too long, their supervisor is alerted.
✕Whiteboard updated once a day
✓Live board from the floor
✕Holds noted on paper
✓Holds assigned with alerts
✕Scrap found at month end
✓Scrap logged at the station
Shift reports without spreadsheets
Completed operations, cycle times, scrap and rework roll up by station and shift. Where machines expose data, we can connect them.

- Updating the board from the floor
- Flagging jobs past their due date
- Rolling up shift reports
Your people decide
