Live Schedule

Live Schedule
  • “Reduced Lead-Times from 6-8 weeks down to less than 2 weeks.”
  • “Less disruption – one single schedule across the business, everyone working on the right parts at the right time“.
  • “When a delivery date changes, we simply move it on the Master Schedule, everyone has the same information instantaneously“.
  • “No more handwritten lists keeping track of the orders, Red/Amber/Green status line by line at every workstation“.
  • “Operators like the simplicity, full visibility of what is required and when. Avoids confusing urgent changes at the last minute“.

ShopFloorLive dedicated to Manufacturing.

  • Working backwards from the delivery date we drive On-Time Delivery.
  • Our unique routing system sends the right parts to the right operations to be completed at the right time.
  • Each operation has its own schedule linked to the LIVE Master Schedule.
  • When the operator completes part(s) they simply click on the part and enter the quantity completed. Red/Amber/Green clearly shows progress.
  • No more out of date schedules, no more wasting time in meetings trying to figure out what still has to be done.

Let’s take a walk:

Loading sales orders: This can be loaded directly from your ERP/Sales system or manually as required. Key information :- quantity, delivery date and the parts required.

One unique feature of the system is you can either set up codes for every product, or we can take the order line information.

Parts are sent to the correct operations using the default route for each component, should you need to change this can be done just before production starts.

Job now appears on the Master Schedule and all of the individual schedules based on the delivery date. [ When setting up the system you set the number of workdays before delivery for each operation. The system includes a holiday calendar]

Now to Operations. Here you see a list of all your operations

Behind each operation is a schedule linked to the Master Schedule. Example the Saw.

[The Saw is set 4 days behind the delivery date as per the initial setup].

Click on the job, only parts show for this operator to complete.

As they complete each part. Red/Amber/Green

Let’s take another operation the EdgeBander, we only see the components required to go through this machine.

This makes it easy for the operator to ensure they complete only the items assigned to their operation
