Low-Volume & Custom Manufacturing

Complex job mix and constant changeovers don't have to mean you're flying blind on performance. 10in6 gives custom and low-volume manufacturers job-level visibility, scheduling support, and quality documentation that works across highly varied production — without forcing your operation into a template designed for high-volume repetitive runs.

The operational challenge

What makes visibility difficult in this environment

📅
A constantly changing job queue

Scheduling a mix of custom jobs with different routings, priorities, and resource requirements is genuinely complex. Most scheduling tools are designed for repetitive production and don't handle this well.

🔄
Setup time that varies by run

When every job is different, setup and changeover times vary widely. Without tracking, this variability stays invisible — and efficiency estimates stay inaccurate.

📋
Quality documentation that doesn't scale

Paper-based quality records for custom work are inconsistent and hard to retrieve. Building a repeatable quality process that adapts to varied job types is a challenge most systems don't solve.

🔁
Recurring problems hidden in unique work

When every job looks different, it's easy to miss patterns. The same tooling issue, operator gap, or material problem can repeat across dozens of work orders before anyone notices.

Where 10in6 fits

Job-level visibility without a custom development project

10in6 is configured around how custom and low-volume operations actually run — tracking production and quality at the job level, supporting scheduling for a high-mix queue, and surfacing recurring issues that would otherwise hide inside varied work. The system adapts to your process, not the other way around.

  • Schedule and sequencing — manage a high-mix job queue with routing and priority visibility
  • Changeover and setup time by job — track actual setup time per product to identify variability
  • Job-level production reporting — output, OEE, and efficiency at the job or work order level
  • Issues tracker — log and track issues across jobs to surface recurring root causes
  • Configurable quality checks — quality documentation that adapts to job type and routing
  • Operator performance by job — visibility into how efficiency varies across operators and job types
Key Outcome
10%+

Efficiency improvement within six months — typical for custom and low-volume operations implementing 10in6

Why 10in6

Adapts to your mix, not the other way around

⚙️

Configured around your operation

10in6 is not a fixed template. Quality checks, scheduling logic, reporting formats, and traceability requirements are configured to match how your jobs actually flow — including the ones that don't follow a standard routing.

🔍

Issues surface across varied work

The issues tracker works at the job level, but it also rolls up across jobs. Recurring tooling problems, material issues, or operator gaps that repeat across unique work orders become visible patterns instead of isolated incidents.
