Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials
- “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 \"Velocity Scheduling System\" and have improved our on time delivery by 20% and our profit by 100%.”
Keith Garrison - “We would certainly recommend the VSS Program. It is a useful tool for implementing order in a chaotic job-shop. The best thing about the VSS Program is that it\\\'s PRACTICAL. One doesn\\\'t just get taught a lot of theory. Right from the onset, trainees are given practical tasks to implement in their job shop.
Before starting the VSS Program our factory operated without a proper job flow. There was no clear order to how jobs were prioritized when they entered the factory - nor on their lead times.
With the implementation of VSS, we now have a clear VISUAL SYSTEM on what jobs are currently being worked on, which department they are in and how long the job has been in the \\\"system\\\". We also have the tools to better plan job priority orders.
Additionally, we are also now able to gather and analyze data concerning our factory, better.”
Adar Segev - “Before starting the Velocity Scheduling System our on time delivery was about 68%. After implementation of the system we’re currently running at 100% OTD. The velocity board has been a great tool that provides visibility not only to myself but everyone in the shop. Daily 5 minute meetings keep everyone informed of how jobs are running and if there any problems. This system has been a great help and we are very happy with the results.”
Richard Pothier - “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 - “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.”
Eric - “We are a small manufacturing company with +/- 20 employees. We thought we had a system that worked until our sales increased dramatically and we experienced difficulty getting the jobs completed and shipped. We just couldn\\\'t get the work out fast enough to make a profit. Although we have some fine tuning to do with our Velocity System, shipping has increased, we are able to see and address our issues right away, and everyone in every department seems to like the visual system. This visual system helps us maintain consistent and reliable communication regarding our jobs by showing where they are at any time in the process. The added bonus is our entire team working together on the same goal and that is priceless.”
KATHY OPATIK - “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 Velocity Scheduling System program and personal support has given us the results that we have been looking for. Thank You Dr. Lisa.”
Jim McClelland Robinson Fans - “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 - “Substantially reduced chaos on the floor and provided us with a proven process to schedule and operate under. We have seen improvements in order flow, Due date performance, cash flow and constraints. We look forward to continued success as further implement this process and gain greater understanding utilizing a targeted and integrated process improvement plan. Thanks Dr Lisa! Keith B. Pa.”
Keith B., PA - “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.”
