Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials
- “We increased our velocity of jobs getting though our shop. it has helped point out many flaws in our shop that where previously getting hidden or overlooked to help increase productivity.”
Marcus Ellis - “Dramatic increase in on-time delivery, dramatic reduction in chaos. The shop floor personnel really seem to like the system. Involving the entire work force really improves the quality and quantity of solutions to a given problem.”
Profile Grinding, Inc - “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 - “After trying different solutions, included expansive scheduling software with years of implementation required, we finally found a system which delivers what promised! We reduced dramatically (about 30%) our already good manufacturing lead times, have a stable and reliable schedule and everybody in the plant knows what to work on at any point in time. There are so many great things about the VSSC but the key is that it’s really fun and easy to implement because it engages the organization as a whole. Thanks Dr. Lisa!”
Alessandro Bernacchia Manufacturing Manager - “Our overdue orders were mainly due to jobs being overlooked. We have so many different parts that it is hard for one person to keep track. With VSS we've incorporated Detail planning and a Visual Vss Board so that jobs will no longer get overlooked.”
Karin Carlson - “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 - “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 - “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.”
Steve, WI. - “The program has helped reduce the chaos in our shop. The communication has dramatically improved to help the work flow through the shop.”
Overton Industries
