Video 4 – Feb 2009 NTMA Keynote

by Dr Lisa Lang

Want to see my NTMA speech (from last week) titled — Maximizing Profitability in Uncertain Times?

I covered how to increase sales with a Mafia Offer and why operational improvements are needed to deliver the offer and how you have to challenge your thinking to put this all together to really MAXIMIZE your PROFITS.

I was the last speaker at the event so I also summarized the messages from the other speakers. I got some great feedback so you don’t want to miss this!

Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials
- “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
- “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
- “VSS has provided us a path to collect data, identify bottlenecks, and true address the issues that have and will continue to make us better. Our WIP reduction is in the millions of dollars! We have learned so much, since starting this process. Thank you Dr. Lisa for you help and guidance!”
  
  A GE Aviation plant
- “Overall we reduced chaos from the shop floor. Our OTD increased by over 13%. Drove more cross training and reduced bottlenecks to ship more.”
  
  Neil M
- “We have seen improvement in many areas while using this Velocity Scheduling System. The most powerful changes brought on from this: Closing jobs completely & having visibility of areas that are sitting and waiting on processing. By utilitizing the board, we have a better understanding of WIP and are able to minimize much of the headache that comes with TOO MUCH WIP. GREAT NEW FOR US ! As the VP of McAllister Tool & Machine, I would recommend this system to any company--large or small. If you ever want to use me as a reference for other companies looking to use this system, I will be more than happy to close the deal for you!”
  
  Wendell McAllister
- “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
- “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.
- “This is the best system for manufacturing that I’ve encountered… Trust me I have seen and implemented many JIT, Lean Six Sigma systems in the past and this is the best…. Dr. Lisa, the creator and facilitator of the program, is top notch.”
  
  Luis Fernandez, Schlumberger
- “VSS dramatically helped us understand what our overall capacity really is and how we could improve the capacity. Our quoted lead-times have improved in accuracy since we started helping us to meet customer expectations of delivery dates. We do not have expedited orders now since all orders can flow through the normal process with high predictability. The first improvement was control of our process and now we are seeing improvements in productivity and capacity. Thanks Dr. Lisa!”
  
  Todd R, Ohio
- “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
