Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials
- “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 - “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.”
Luis - “Dramatic increase in on-time delivery, dramatic reduction in chaos. The shop floor personnel really seem to like the system. Involving the entire work force really improves the quality and quantity of solutions to a given problem.”
Profile Grinding, Inc - “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 - “We are getting much better flow through our shop. Parts are not sitting around waiting to be worked on.”
Wayne W. - “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. - “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 program has helped reduce the chaos in our shop. The communication has dramatically improved to help the work flow through the shop.”
Overton Industries - “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 - “The VSS provided a great way to visually track and organize your work flow, even for the most complex job shops.”
