Video 4 – Feb 2009 NTMA Keynote

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
- “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 VSS 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 finished off our fiscal year end 10/31….. could have never turned things around w/out the VSS.!!!!!! We finished the year in the black because ‘the board’ helped us focus on FINISHING! The last 6 months also saw a serious improvement in on time delivery, and an increase in the volume of orders thru our building… No job gets lost in the shuffle no matter how longs its in the building… THANK YOU!”
  
  Tanya DiSalvo
- “Fantastic program which provided our business the leadtime reduction we were looking for. As a result, we have reduced our production costs/unit by 40%!”
  
  Greg Culley, Typac
- “Prior to the start of the program, there seemed to be constant stress in trying to balance the work load and meet delivery times. Now, after completion of the program, we are nearly caught up with all work that was behind schedule and much better positioned to meet an increase in demand through an increase in available capacity. Our operations are very complex and the work we are required to perform can very greatly, however, we are able to attain our objectives without much of the \\\"panic\\\" or chaos that was present before. We have a solid base established that we can continue to improve and perfect as we grow our business! Thanks Dr. Lisa!”
  
  Shane Pence, Manufacturing Manager
- “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
- “Upon implementing the VSS, we noticed the following benefits: reduced WIP by more than 50%, learned we can do more with much less, and we increased visibility for project management and production that has led to a reduced cash flow cycle and happier customers! I recommend the VSS for any job shop that struggles with managing schedules, inventory, and chaos within the manufacturing environment. If you sign on with Dr. Lisa, she will give you the tools you need to get it under control and achieve outstanding results. Thank you, Dr. Lisa!”
  
  Matt Groves
- “I think the biggest impact we have seen is the improvement in our backlog/past due orders – overall we have reduced our past due days over 65%. We also have significantly less waste in terms of production hours because we are all working on the right stuff at the right time. The simple visual system makes it easy to identify what we need to be doing.”
  
  Adam Gold, Dimensional Group
- “We increased our speed dramatically. Thanks to VSS we sell 80% more than before - within two month! Due day performance grew from about 60% to nearly 100%.”
  
  Nils Peters, ALTONA S.A.
- “We achieved reduced lead times and increased throughput, as well as, improvement in productivity.VSS also worked very well from a management standpoint with regards to the employees being more involved in the production decisions, not just \"go and do that job\" but they see why they need to get that job done now and I feel they have more ownership in the company.”
  
  Don Cornwell
- “The Velocity Scheduling System has become the centerpiece of our tool shop. The simplicity of administration and visual nature of the system has been received well by the shop. Jobs are finishing faster and deliveries are improving thanks to the VSS Coaching Program.”
