Velocity Scheduling System Reviews & Testimonials
- “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 - “You have heard of the Horse Whisperer well Dr Lisa is the Job Shop Whisperer.
She has taught us to read the messages that our job shop has been communicating to us all along. Signs that our instincts and training have caused us to ignore.
Many of the things this program asks us to try are counter intuitive, but I would encourage everyone to have faith and try them because the downside risk to trying them is almost nothing.
The program is well thought out. It is structured in such a way that each week you gain insights from observing what is actually happening in your shop. This weekly epiphany is great because your team becomes motivated, inspired and committed to making more changes.
It sounds too good to be true, but it works. Our due date performance is currently tracking at 100%, 3 months in to the program. Our lead times are being maintained at market expectation and we are charging a premium for times that clients want things faster. Our job shop is calm and ordered with almost no visible work in process and our scheduler has cancelled his prescription for angina tablets.
The best part about the system is how easy it is to run and manage. Our team is able to get immediate feedback when things go wrong from simple measurements. The corrective actions required are obvious and have an immediate impact which helps develop peoples understanding. We are much more focused on doing the things that matter and stopping doing the things that don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t.”
Daniel Heerding - “The biggest single impact was saw was the improved flow through our shop. The flow improvement along with emphasis on finishing rather than starting got us from jobs being in our shop from an average of 15 days down to about 4 days on average.”
Eric B., A TO Z Machine Company 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 \"Velocity Scheduling System\" and have improved our on time delivery by 20% and our profit by 100%.”
Keith Garrison - “The biggest improvement we have seen is with reduced daily chaos. We are focusing more on finishing jobs and not just getting others started. Our deliveries have improved greatly and our reputation in the industry is starting to change (for the better). Would recommend VSS to anyone in manufacturing, even if you your deliveries are 100%, this program will help you in many other areas of your business!”
Bruce (Ohio) - “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 - “VSS changed everything for us. VSS became the new language of our business and changed our focus to a systematic process to improve job flow which resulted in better plant communications, delivery performance and cost reductions.”
Ron Peuterbaugh, Joint Production Technology - “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 - “After completion of the course our on-time delivery has improved from 68% to 95%. Using the VSS principals our goal is 100% by year end!”
Tim Merrifield - “We increased our speed dramatically. Thanks to VSS we sell 80% more than before - within two month! Due day performance grew from about 60% to nearly 100%.”
Nils Peters, ALTONA S.A.
- “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%!”
