JOB SHOP SCHEDULING – THE VELOCITY SCHEDULING SYSTEM

The Velocity Scheduling System (VSS) is a complete visual system for machine
shop and job shop scheduling. It is NOT software but works with any ERP or no
ERP. It is a visual scheduling board, visual planning board, key metrics and
includes a process for on-going improvement. It is based on the Theory of
Constraints Drum Buffer Rope and Lean flow concepts — it is the best of FLOW
based scheduling and flow manufacturing but designed specifically for job shops.

If you’re here because you need help NOW –> Immediately sign up for the
scheduling webinar to learn How to Get More Jobs Done Faster and what you can do
immediately to make a difference. After that, come back here to learn more about
job shop scheduling and how our Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program
works.


JOB SHOP SCHEDULING : MACHINE SHOP SCHEDULING

Scheduling is the process of deciding which jobs should run in which order to
optimize on-time delivery and shop productivity.

This system was developed for highly complex and custom job shops and machine
shops because these shops struggled with:

 1. Clients who change their mind
 2. Vendors who aren’t always reliable
 3. Mix that can vary wildly and moving constraints
 4. Employees who do not always have the right skill and whose discipline is
    lacking
 5. Processes that are not reliable
 6. Machines & tools that break
 7. Quality that is not perfect
 8. Data that is not readily available nor accurate nor communicated
 9. And, communication between silos that is difficult


JOB SHOP SCHEDULING SYSTEM USING THEORY OF CONSTRAINTS

In addition to these 9 Challenges, custom job shops and machine shops have
struggled with implementing the traditional Lean and Theory of Constraints DBR /
SDBR (Drum Buffer Rope / Simplified Drum Buffer Rope) solutions you read about
in The Goal.  Algorithms and various software have also proven to require
constant rescheduling.  These struggles are caused by 2 main issues 1) in these
high complex/custom environments the constraint can move day-to-day or
week-to-week; and 2) the starting condition of this type of environment IS much
different.


VISUAL SCHEDULING SYSTEM WITH A PRODUCTION SCHEDULING BOARD

After working with a number of job shops Dr Lisa figured out:

 * the order to implement. What to do first, then second and so on.
 * that the first steps we take need to provide BIG results to get the buy-in
   and support to continue.
 * that the scheduling and priority of the shop needs to be visual.
 * that the visual scheduling system facilitates everyone’s involvement and the
   desperately needed communication throughout the shop.
 * how to create an effective scheduling system that does not require massive
   computing and manpower to run.
 * how to accommodate a complex environment where the constraint moves
   frequently.
 * how to implement the Theory of Constraints process of on-going improvement so
   that we continuously improve.
 * and, how to coach managers and supervisors to get it done.




SHOP SCHEDULER | MANUFACTURING PLANNING AND CONTROL

This approach led to the big results for the shops that had the courage to
implement and turned into the VELOCITY SCHEDULING SYSTEM (VSS).

We also found that our job shop scheduling system, VSS, created faster buy-in
and helped the changes to stick.

VSS is a total scheduling, management, and improvement system including:

 * Velocity Board – the visual shop scheduling board which is a large physical
   board that goes in the shop. This board is simple, just communicates our
   priorities and directs us to what we should be working on.
 * To Be Released Board – the visual shop planning tool. This is also a physical
   board that goes into the shop. We use this board to make sure we are ready to
   work on a job.
 * Detailed Planning – the off-line planning tool (we use Excel) to monitor load
   vs capacity and to plan our release order and to monitor constraints.
 * VSS Dashboard – the Excel tool we use to measure our results and track our
   financials.
 * POOGI – we track why we go into the red zone of our Velocity Board and use
   this information to direct our continuous improvement efforts. POOGI is
   Process Of On-Going Improvement.

In addition you learn:

 * The 8 steps to implementing the Velocity Scheduling System, with examples and
   coaching to help YOU apply it to YOUR situation.
 * What key metrics to measure (operational and financial) to ensure you stay on
   track and how to use the pre-programmed Excel that is provided.
 * How to conduct a 5 Minute Meeting to communicate to the entire team.
 * How to get agreements within your team on the actions you want to take.
 * How to get your customers to supply missing information to complete their
   job.
 * How Theory of Constraints is similar and differs from Lean.
 * How to use the provided Excel file for detailed planning and how to customize
   it for you.
 * How to determine how much raw material stock to hold and how/when to
   replenish.

Exceeded expectations!! Admittedly, I was a skeptic. How could a manual program
help a company schedule and execute hundreds of work tickets at a time?
Certainly, such a program would be overwhelmed! The only thing overwhelmed is
how pleased I am with results of the Velocity Scheduling System! Does this sound
familiar? We would flood our plant floor with urgent work tickets. Tickets would
get started and then sit around for, maybe, weeks. Parts were made would get
lost . . . thrown out? Completed part counts were wrong. Work tickets marked as
complete . . . weren’t. And, the list of woes could go on. Each and every one of
these phenomenon were quickly solved with the Velocity Scheduling System. We now
have complete control over our plant. Our work tickets are able to be tracked
and product can be easily located in the plant. We know when a work ticket is
done and the quality with which each ticket is completed is better than in our
company’s history! Work tickets are completed faster and with more accuracy than
ever could have been imagined. The plant loves working with the Velocity
Scheduling System and strives to get work tickets completed on time and with
great quality. It has brought us together as a team! It took Dr. Lisa to bring
to the plant floor with great clarity what Eli Goldratt was really trying to get
us to understand in “The Goal”. Great job, Dr. Lisa!! We are completely thrilled
with our results!!”

We don’t believe in get rich programs – only in hard work, adding value and
serving others. Our programs are intended to help you improve the productivity,
sales, and profitability of your business. As stipulated by law, we cannot and
do not make any guarantees about your ability to get results of any kind with
our ideas, information, tools or strategies. After all, it takes hard work to
succeed in any type of business. In fact, it takes hard work to succeed at
ANYTHING in life – try learning to play the guitar without putting in any work
and see how that goes! Your results in life and business are up to you and the
amount of effort and resources that you are willing to put into succeeding.



We just want to help by giving great content, direction and strategies that move
you forward. Nothing on this page or any of our websites is a promise or
guarantee of results or future earnings, and we do not offer any operational,
sales, financial, legal, medical, tax or other professional advice. Any specific
improvement amounts or numbers referenced here, or on any of our sites, by us or
in any testimonials or case studies, are simply estimates or projections, and
should not be considered exact, actual or as a promise of potential results or
earnings. All numbers are illustrative only. In fact, the average person who
purchases a program never puts the work into implementing the strategies taught
and therefore achieves little to no results. Our more detailed disclaimers and
policies can be accessed via the links in the footer below. It’s all the regular
legal mumbo jumbo but we feel transparency is important and we hold ourselves
(and you) to a high standard of integrity. Please be safe out there, floss every
day, and don’t forget to wear sunscreen. Thanks for stopping by.
