Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials
- “From when our company started tracking each facilities on time performance, we have led with an average of 98%. So I was skeptical that VSS was going to make much of a difference for us. I was (very) wrong with my vision of the limited possibilities. This program has transformed our production from a \"Pushing\" to a \"Pulling\" flow through our shop. We have changed from a shop, with individual departments and brought us together as a Team. The communication across the floor, the focus on work and where attention is needed, problem solving, quality and Volume have all improved. And all of it has come with a whole lot less stress. We have been researching and trying other ideas and programs, each with some level of success but Dr. Lisa\'s program and personal support has given us the results that we have been looking for. Thank You Dr. Lisa.”
James G. McClelland, Robinson Fans - “We have found the Velocity Scheduling System to be very helpful in reducing the chaos in our shop and improving communication across all departments and shifts.”
Matt Goss, EIMCo - “The VSS system is so much more than a scheduling system. It touches on many different aspects of running a business. The program made us think about how we prioritized work and how we manage different customers. VSS really is a process for ongoing improvement.”
Joseph - “One of the first things that it does is forces you to look at and change your behaviors. We have been scheduling based on what we see, mentally, right in front of us. This creates daily fire drills. The system forces us to change this behavior. I also like how the system is so visual and you cannot miss it walking by.”
ERP Coordinator, Century - “The time to complete a job shop has reduced. Systematic communication between the shop personnel has increased and become more effective. Best part of the program is smooth flow of work throughout the shop.”
Sachin Agarwal - “The VSS provided a great way to visually track and organize your work flow, even for the most complex job shops.”
Wells Enterprises - “I submit to you that there no software system capable of managing the schedule for a job shop optimally. In fact it is easy to be distracted with the idea that software will fix your issues, when the key to a good scheduling system is execution of a good system (not software that is). If you are looking for a true scheduling system that will "fill the holes" let me recommend Dr. Lisa Lang. She helped us install a true scheduling system that lead to significant productivity gains. What's great is that her system will utilize any of the aforementioned software systems. It's inexpensive and if you can spare 15 minutes watch her webinar and see if her theories don't rock your world.”
Tra Willbanks on LinkedIn - “Velocity Scheduling is an amazing program. It teaches you about your process, helps you find out what are the major issues and focuses on one common goal for everyone, improving flow.”
Luis - “Dr. Lisa, Thanks to your program Velocity Scheduling System Gulf has improved Delivery times, reduced rework, improved team work, improved cash flow, and it has really impressed our customers with such a planning system they can actually follow the progress of their job as it progresses threw the shop. The reduction in chaos has to be one of the best benefits to the program. No more putting out fires all the time. The proper planning and scheduling has really improved this aspect of our operation. This would be great for any shop to consider…….as long as it’s not my competition! Thanks again and we are looking forward to the Mafia Offer Program next Month.”
Vint Massimini Gulf Engineering Co. President - “We have reduced the time that it takes for a job to go through the shop. It helped us get control of the schedule, by reducing the scramble of jobs in the shop. Now we do them in order and everyone in the company knows when to expect a job to be worked on and ready to ship.”
