Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials
- “Even as a small shop I found it difficult at times to keep the working flowing properly so we could meet our deliveries. Now we have everyone involved and with controlling our WIP and making sure that we have our full –kit issues resolved we find that jobs flow thru our shop a whole lot quicker and we have less fires to put out. I’d definitely recommend the program.”
Bob Cannon, Cannon Machine Products, Inc. - “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 - “I have seen a serious improvement in the past two months for on Time Delivery, and less chaos thru out the Shop. We have cut our “Work In Process” by 40% as far as I can tell and no Job is getting lost in the shuffle no matter how long it’s on the floor. So as you can see we have a way to go, but I know we are on the right track.”
Ralph - “The VSS System has facilitated operational visibility in terms of our WIP levels, throughput, and due date performance. Thanks Dr. Lisa.”
Bill, President, Texas. - “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 - “One of the first things that it does is forces you to look at and change your behaviors. We have been scheduling based on what we see, mentally, right in front of us. This creates daily fire drills. The system forces us to change this behavior. I also like how the system is so visual and you cannot miss it walking by.”
ERP Coordinator, Century - “We have an interesting challenge in that we are a custom job shop but are now adding some production that has annual requirements for 100,000 piece runs, and those runs will take a cell with 1 CNC lathe and 2 CNC mills at minimum running 20 hours each day. The rest of the shop changes over every other day or so. We use a modified version of the "Velocity Scheduling System" and have improved our on time delivery by 20% and our profit by 100%.”
Keith Garrison - “All the Velocity boards are up and running. For the very first time in the history of Bent River we delivered a “new to the world” designed machine in the nanno technology industry ahead of schedule and to budget. We have never done a project of that scope that well before. It only benefited by about half its life under Velocity, and it still made a REAL difference! Thank you!”
Norela Harrington - “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 - “The VSS provided a great way to visually track and organize your work flow, even for the most complex job shops.”
