Shop-Wide Benefits

Experience an interconnected shop floor with machine monitoring and ERP integration.

Manufacturers appreciate more than most the value of a well-oiled machine, yet too many shops are disconnected, leaving them to operate like there’s gunk in the gears. JobPack is the grease that makes everything run smoothly again.

By linking ERP software with JobPack’s production scheduling and machine monitoring modules, manufacturers gain a shop-wide perspective on their operations. Operators on the shop floor can clearly see the next orders in their work queue. Managers and schedulers can anticipate heavy work loads and make adjustments to optimize working hours. Purchasing and CFOs have more data on which to base procurement and budgeting decisions. Owners and CEOs can maintain high-level awareness of order progress to ensure customer satisfaction.

Shop-Wide Benefits

Strengthen communication with shop floor transparency.

Spreadsheets, paper job packs, and other analog production tracking methods aren’t just slow and outdated—they’re also a regular source of error:

  • The owner says “yes” to a rush order without confirming capacity with the scheduler.
  • Purchasing can’t see that a major order has been moved up in the schedule and so fails to order in stock.
  • The manger makes a change to one of the orders but it doesn’t reach the operator in time.
  • The operator is struggling with a machine that is producing too many non-conforming parts and needs to explain why they are running behind schedule.

Mistakes such as these lead to waste and lost time, but they can also result in finger pointing, and lost trust. Bad feelings aside, the blame game prevents manufacturers from identifying and resolving the root cause.

The factory oversight provided by JobPack allows every level to see at a glance whether the factory floor is running to plan. Eliminating paper job packs means that changes are distributed immediately, and with a fully documented audit trail. And user notes give operators the means of providing additional context as a job progresses.
