30 Job Shops Improve Scheduling

By Dr Lisa Lang

In 2009 we significantly improved the scheduling and operations of 30 custom job shops and machine shops. These 30 shops improved due date performance (DDP) to at least 97%, reduced lead-time by 50%, all while improving communication and reducing chaos. Isn't it time for YOU to do the same? Here's an email that I was copied on just yesterday. It's from one of my VSS clients to someone he is recommending the course to:

Jose, This is the best system for Manufacturing that I have encountered. This is our next step in the cables shop and covers the entire value stream. It is a web based course that you take 2 hours twice a week for a month and the person walks you through your specific implementation and helps you through the problems. We are currently finishing the training and building the new board. Trust me I have seen and implemented many JIT, Lean Six Sigma systems in the past and this is the best. I have copied Dr. Lisa the creator and facilitator of the program. She is top notch. As well I am attaching one of her free reports on how the system compares with other systems. Sincerely, Luis Fernandez Schlumberger Manufacturing Engineer IPC-Cables

It's amazing what can happen when a team of people participate together and acquire a shared vision.

And did I mention that 3 of the companies participating in group 5 were from multi-BILLION dollar conglomerates?

And 4 of the companies in group 5 were Westinghouse vendors because Westinghouse recommended their vendors sign up?

I just laid out my recommendations, the logic and provided a little motivation.  They did all the work.

The next group is starting soon and you can sign up at www.VelocitySchedulingSystem.com.  The Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program is based on Goldratt's Theory of Constraints.  So if you ever wanted some guidance putting The Goal (and Drum Buffer Rope) into action, now's the time!

In an interview with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezo, Jon Fortt for CNBC reported:

 This summer he (Amazon CEO Jeff Bezo) spent time at Lab126, a Silicon Valley outpost about a mile from Apple headquarters where Amazon engineers hash out hardware designs. And he also hosted three all-day book clubs with Amazon's top executives, capped by nice dinners at the end. Bezos said he used the books as frameworks for sketching out the future of the company. Which books? Bezos was kind enough to share the titles.

• The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker
• The Innovator's Solution by Clayton Christensen
• The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt

The Goal was originally published in 1984 but is still very relevant today.  And, as you likely know, it take place in a machine shop.  Many job shops and machine shops use The Goal as their Bible.  The only problem is that most have no idea how to apply it to their unique shop. Well, I have good news.  If you own or manage a highly custom job shop or machine shop and want to apply what you read in The Goal to YOUR shop, you can do that with expert guidance very inexpensively.  Just check out the Velocity Scheduling System (VSS)  Coaching Program. VSS is NOT software but a visual manual scheduling system developed specifically for highly custom job shops and machine shops which are typically low volume high mix environments where the constraint can move week to week or even day to day. Who's the expert that would guide you?  Well that's Dr Lisa Lang.  She is one of the foremost Theory of Constraints experts who has worked with Dr Goldratt and specializes in applying Theory of Constraints to highly custom job shops and machine shops. Check out Velocity Scheduling System here:  www.VelocitySchedulingSystem.com When you're there check out the free webinar called "How to Get More Jobs Done Faster".  You'll be glad you did!
