We recognize that production reporting systems can be as unique as the manufacturing facilities that they report on. You need a solution that can be set up to fit your needs and present the information in such a way as to drive accountability for operational improvement.
Whether you’re looking to replace existing manual data entry and OEE reporting or tackle more challenging production reporting requirements, contact us to find out how our approach:
- Can scale to fit your business needs
- Can be tailored to meet individual’s data needs
- Can be condensed and summarized to focus on what matters most
- Can provide accountability to your continuous improvement projects
- Can provide financial payback in less than 12 months
Our challenge to you – bring us your data reporting requirements and if we can’t demonstrate those capabilities (web demo) within 48 hours, we’ll send you a free iPod Touch! Click here to challenge our team!
In manufacturing, maintaining flow through all manufacturing steps is critical to optimizing manufacturing efficiency. Our constraint management solution helps to visual chronic disrupters to flow and provides simple and effective way to:
- Make sure continuous improvement efforts are focused on the issues that most affect ‘end of line output’
- Answer the question ‘WHY is my OEE low?’ vs. “WHAT is my OEE?’
- Isolates ‘people and process’ issues from ‘equipment downtime’ issues
- Provides reports that help to sustain continuous improvement efforts over the long run

When faced with legal/contractual requirements to track & trace production information by serial number/ lot # etc. then you need a solution that:
- Is robust and reliable with six-sigma uptime levels
- Low cost but not low-feature
- Provides powerful tools to extract / analyze the data and identify underlying cause/effect relationships
- Requires minimal configuration time to get powerful ‘birth history reports’
- Open data source so the information can be shared with other business applications
If your facility runs in a batched/production run environment then inquire about our unique approach to changeover tracking and optimization. We have helped many customers make sure that they are ‘building the right product at the right time’. There’s no benefit to running your operations at peak efficiency if you’re not building the right product. Let us show you a solution that:
- Automatically captures production change-over data (without manual input) to accurately account for lost product time due to changeovers and setups
- Integrates with your scheduling system to ensure that the most optimal production schedule is being run
- Provides alerts/warning when potential deliveries will be missed
- Provides a production run history report to understand the overall efficiency of each batch/run
Do I have enough sub-components to complete this order? In high volume, high model mix environments, keeping track of WIP is an ‘art’ not a ‘science’. Unexpected stock shortages or disjointed production schedules are more costly to manufacturing that equipment downtime. We can help you with ‘electronic kanban’ and WIP visualization methods that will provide you with real time decision making on order quantities, schedules and order sizes.
