Manufacturing & Production

Planning the line, running the shift, and taking waste and lost time out of both.

Capacity & Production Planning

Work out what the plant can make, and whether that covers the order book.

Manufacturing & Production

Plan weekly production capacity: define machines and shift patterns, load them with product demand and routings, find bottlenecks and test what-if scenarios. Runs entirely in your browser.

Performance & OEE

Split lost output into availability, performance and quality, and cost each one.

Manufacturing & Production

Work out overall equipment effectiveness across every machine on the floor — availability, performance and quality for each production run, the losses ranked in minutes, and a machine-by-machine comparison you can print. Type the runs in or import a spreadsheet. Nothing is uploaded.

Lean Flow & Standard Work

Set the pace of the line and balance the work across the people on it.

Manufacturing & Production

Work out takt time from your available production time and customer demand, then time each process step with a stopwatch and see which steps run over takt, which ones are too variable to standardise, and where the bottleneck really is. Type the readings in or import a spreadsheet. Nothing is uploade

Manufacturing & Production

Write standard work properly: every work element, its manual, machine and walk time, the sequence, the standard WIP, and the operator balance against takt — with machine time kept parallel instead of wrongly added. Nothing is uploaded.

Manufacturing & Production

Assign work elements to stations, compare every station against takt and draw the Yamazumi stacked-time chart — line efficiency, the bottleneck station and the elements that can move, in one working register. Nothing is uploaded.

Changeover & Setup Reduction

Time the changeover, split internal from external, and take minutes out of it.

Manufacturing & Production

Log every changeover with its planned and actual minutes, see the trend against your target, find the machines and delay reasons that keep costing you downtime, and prove the improvement. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Manufacturing & Production

Time a changeover task by task, separate internal from external work, move tasks outside the machine stop and project the shorter changeover before spending anything — the SMED method in a working register. Nothing is uploaded.

Manufacturing & Production

Record how long every product-to-product changeover takes, see the whole from-and-to matrix at once, find the asymmetric pairs, and work out a running order that costs far less than the one you use today. Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Capacity & Bottleneck Analysis

Find the constraint, then decide what to do with it.

Manufacturing & Production

Find the real constraint in a process chain by effective capacity — rate, uptime and yield combined — then size the utilisation, the near-constraints and what closing the demand gap is worth. Nothing is uploaded.

Yield, Scrap & Loss

Count what did not come out right, and what that cost in material and time.

Manufacturing & Production

Log production runs with good, rework and scrap quantities, see first-pass and final yield calculated honestly from totals, and find where scrap cost really comes from. Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Shift Control & Daily Management

Hand the shift over cleanly and run the board that starts the next one.

Manufacturing & Production

Record what the outgoing shift tells the incoming one — safety conditions, production status, quality holds, equipment faults, shortages and actions — with acknowledgement tracking and a printable handover sheet. This is the handover log, not a rota or roster. Nothing is uploaded.

Manufacturing & Production

Run an hour-by-hour production board — plan against actual for every period, the loss reason and countermeasure written in the hour it happened, attainment, first-pass quality and a downtime Pareto, printed for the shift handover. Nothing is uploaded.

Manufacturing & Production

Run a daily SQCDP performance board — record a green, amber or red for Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery and People in each area, track countermeasures on every red, and print a tier-meeting-ready report. Nothing is uploaded.

Production Scheduling

Sequence jobs onto machines and release them in an order that works.

Manufacturing & Production

Sequence jobs on your work centres with planned dates, hours and priorities, catch late-running work before the promise breaks, and measure schedule adherence and estimating accuracy on every completed job. Nothing is uploaded.

Lean Waste & Improvement

Walk the floor looking for the eight wastes, and log what you find.

Manufacturing & Production

Walk the floor, log the seven wastes plus underused talent, put a defensible annual cost on each observation, and print a ranked waste register that shows where the money leaks. Nothing is uploaded.

Manufacturing & Production

Structure your gemba walks — record observations by area and theme, keep the coaching questions and follow-ups honest, watch your walk cadence and close the loop with the team. Nothing is uploaded.

Manufacturing & Production

Capture every improvement opportunity found on the floor, size it, triage it by benefit against effort, and see honestly how many ever turn into a verified saving. Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Workplace Organisation & 5S

Score the area, tag what does not belong, and keep the standard.

Manufacturing & Production

Run a 5S workplace audit — score Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain checkpoint by checkpoint from 0 to 4, track the audit score over time, and turn every low score into a corrective action with an owner and a date. Nothing is uploaded.

Lean Flow & Value Stream

Map the whole flow, then measure how little of it is value-adding.

Manufacturing & Production

Map a value stream step by step — process and wait times, value-add analysis, process-cycle efficiency, the biggest queues, and a current-versus-future-state comparison with a printable lean report. Nothing is uploaded.

WIP, Flow & Aging

Find the jobs sitting still between operations, and what they are worth.

Manufacturing & Production

Track work-in-process jobs, see how long each job has sat in its current stage, spot late work and stages hoarding value. Runs entirely in your browser. No installation, no account, no upload.
