Our Lean Scheduling workbench compares actual demand volume and mix to factory resources and alerts planners to potential resource bottlenecks to ensure effective daily scheduling, production sequencing and load balancing.

Problems We Solve

"I wish we could never miss a customer shipment."
"We can ship on time, but what it costs us is huge."
"We need a way to make it simple for people to know what to build, how much to build and when to build it."
“We’ve focused on Lean practices for years, but we still have pains in running production.”
"We can't synchronize our production requirements across departments based on customer demand."
“Heijunka is a powerful concept, but it is too hard to do manually in our business.”
“I wish I had the technology to drive my mix with Every Product Every Interval (EPEI) logic.”
“We know so much about our process, but our systems don’t leverage that in our planning.”
"Our customers can't live with our lead times."
"We can never catch up."
"We have too much of the wrong inventory at the wrong time."
"We are forced to allocate overtime because we don't have the right products or quantities to support our build schedule."
"We are crisis junkies. We go from one crisis to another because we don’t manage our process and materials around our customer's demands."
"We could free up a lot of space if we could build it and ship it when the customer needs it."
"We need to better predict what our customer need is so we can ship it when they need it."
