Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials
- “VSS has provided us with an orderly, systematic, and visual way to manage the workload in our shop. By focusing on fewer jobs, we are able to give them greater attention and move them through the shop at an accelerated pace. We are seeing that the performance measurements introduced to us in VSS are all trending in a favorable direction. The brief meetings that we hold daily at the Velocity Board allow us to effectively communicate critical information about our jobs. They help us identify the causes of disruptions to our work flow.”
Jim Dull, Arizona - “The VSS System has facilitated operational visibility in terms of our WIP levels, throughput, and due date performance. Thanks Dr. Lisa.”
Bill, President, Texas. - “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 - “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 proven to be catlyst for culture change allowing us to instill more discipline and control in our complex machining environment. We have eliminated 2 separate "production expedite meetings" and the chaos of the past has essentially been eliminated. Our WIP has been reduced by 60%, orders are being released on or near scheduled dates, and production "splits" have been eliminated along with the paperwork nightmare associated with it. Now we can visually see where our bottlenecks are so adjustments can be made, and our people are more engaged with the throughput activity. We had to modify the System somewhat due to the uniqueness of our business, but Dr. Lisa gave us good advice on the way forward to make it work for us. Thanks Dr. Lisa for developing such a robust, yet flexible, approach to controlling our shop and meeting customer demand.”
Jim Wehri, True Position Technologies, Inc. - “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 - “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. - “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 - “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 - “Throughput within the machine shop drastically increased from, in some cases, 4 weeks to an average of 5 days. With a concentration on \"finishing work\" we are seeing great benefits in part availability in our assembly departments.”
