Improving your Machine Tool Productivity

Improving your Machine Tool Productivity without Costly Trials and Testing.

For Machine and Tool production planning even a small improvement in efficiency can save a lot of time and effort, but finding the right solution takes time. Time you might struggle to find. It becomes a vicious circle.

Typical problems you might have…

  • There is only one Dedicated planner – and no one else can plan. Perhaps using a white board or spreadsheet to plan that is not easy to view throughout the business
  • Time pressures and limitations of manual planning job run times and setup are rough estimates making the plan less accurate
  • There is No easy way to see what capacity the business has to insert new jobs without the need to run extra machines or use overtime
  • Jobs are added manually to the plan and if they create jobs on multiple machines each separate job is created separately

If you recognise any or all of the above problems then its worth investing some time to look over the parapet and see a new world of stress reduced planning ready and waiting.

Deciding what you need
To help speed up your research for an effective Machine Planning System we recommend a basic list of Must Haves:

  • It deskills the planning process and makes it more transparent
  • It allows you to critique the plan and improve it
  • It is based on standards – no guess work
  • It shows you quickly and easily what capacity you have
  • It allows you to plan against sales orders and convert into production to save you time
