Machine monitoring analytics bring insight to the workings of your shop floor.

Uncovering the root cause of inefficiencies begins with better data. JobPack’s machine monitoring module helps you gather machine performance data and compare reports to identify bottlenecks and optimize utilization. Compare planned time vs. actual time to see where the slowdown begins. Combine this with data about your booked parts vs. nonconforming parts to better calculate OEE.

Notifications speak volumes. Get them in real-time.

Staying on top of your shop’s machines, the jobs running on them, and the people who operate them is critical. Communicating the information you gather about the state of your shop is just as critical. JobPack can automatically send notifications in your email, on your screen, or on big monitors throughout the shop. You set the trigger points, such as machine downtime, critical part inventory alerts, or work stoppages.

Pinpoint problem areas and measure process improvements.

Continuous improvement is a never-ending battle, but JobPack not only helps to identify trouble sources, it also provides measurement data to track progress. Daily reports can provide a finger-on-the-pulse to ensure work stays on progress, while monthly reports provide a regular cadence to check in and see whether adjustments have helped or not. Annual reports can track year-over improvement for a big picture view that smooths out the noise of seasonal fluctuation.

What-if scenario planning that prevents disruption from unknown variables.

Do you have the capacity to accept a rush order from a client? If you tried to squeeze a partial project into a downtime gap, would the changeover time be worth it? Will approving a week of overtime hours let you make your on-time delivery promise to your clients? These questions are difficult-to-impossible to answer using dated scheduling tools, but JobPack’s “what-if” scenario planning makes it easy to run through possible schedule adjustments, and then easily revert back to the approved schedule when you’re done.

Effeciency Boosting

Visualize everything in one place to prevent production clashes.

Many efficiency gains begin by eliminating common sources of error. People get tired and mistakes happen, but a good production scheduler removes some of the burden by surfacing the most important information and setting fail-safes so that key parameters aren’t overlooked. JobPack not only makes opportunities for improvement easier to see, it also prevents efficiency-killing disasters from entering the production schedule.
