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 - “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 - “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 - “We had an on time delivery of 92%. We went to VSS looking for improving our scheduling and visibility of orders through the shop. We wanted a way to improve work through our constraints. VSS gave us a discipline to follow, follow the board. Previously we would have operators stay in their different machine areas no matter what the date was on their order was. Now we will pull people from their areas and put them to the next order they can work on. VSS also improved our communication not only to the shop in our 5 minute meetings on each shift, but also through out the day when supervisors, operators, managers can look at the board and discuss what needs to be done and when. Through the POOGI process we have started to look at what caused us to go into the red zone and gives us a tool to review monthly what the number one contributor was and work at ways to eliminate.”
BOB T., CHICAGO METALLIC CORPORATION - “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 - “Dr. Lisa has provided us with a flexible shop “Operating System” that has provided many benefits to both our engineering and production departments. Chaos is down; visibility and speed through the shop are up. This allows management to make clearer decisions for both product planning and overall corporate strategy. I would definitely recommend the Velocity Scheduling System to other shops that know that they should be doing better. Dr. Lisa has the experience to show you how.”
Clinton - “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 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 - “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 - “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.”
