This problem arises as a direct result of not having enough visibility on the movement of materials from suppliers and to the shop floor, allocation of manpower and improper upkeep and maintenance of machines.
When you do not know if there are enough materials in stock or your machines breakdown frequently or there is a crunch in manpower availability, you cannot schedule your jobs accurately, leading to delay in materials arriving at the shop floor, delay in manufacturing and on-time delivery to customers.
These delays eat up your margins, profitability and dents your market reputation.
Current Production Problems that you Face
- Scheduling is manually done using spreadsheets, sticky notes and writing board.
- Customer orders are taken based on assumption that materials, manpower and machines are available at a given point of time.
- Job prioritization is a mess as they are executed randomly and not because of their due dates.
- Every job on the shop floor becomes an emergency job due to lack of visibility.
- Material procurement from suppliers and shipping times are not considered while scheduling jobs.
- Product quality takes a hit as jobs are manufactured and shipped quickly.
- Overhead costs increase, margins decrease due to delay in production.
- Customers are unhappy due to late deliveries consistently.
