The Problem: What Most Factories Do Today
Every one of these costs you money. Every single day.
📋

Staffing by gut feeling

"Put 5 people in putaway, 3 in shipping." Why those numbers? "That's what we did yesterday." Unbalanced staffing wastes 15-30% of labor capacity.

💬

Shift handoffs are verbal

"It was a rough shift." How rough? Which area? What broke? Without data, the next supervisor starts from zero. Problems repeat.

📊

Reports are monthly fiction

End-of-month Excel reports built from memory. By the time leadership sees a problem, it's been bleeding money for 4 weeks.

🔧

Maintenance fixes the wrong things

Engineers work on whatever's loudest, not what's most important. Without bottleneck data, the real constraint goes unfixed.

The Solution: One Platform, Everything Connected
Your process model feeds your staffing plan. Your staffing plan feeds your production targets. Your shift reports feed your dashboards. Your dashboards feed your decisions. It's a closed loop.

Math-based staffing

Theory of Constraints distributes people to maximize throughput. One button. The bottleneck is highlighted. 10-25% more output, same people.

📝

3-minute shift reports

Targets auto-fill from your staffing plan. Just enter actuals. Safety, downtime, quality, action items β€” all in one form. Live auto-save.

📈

Real-time dashboards

Managers see reports as they're being written. Directors see 30-day trends. Problems surface in days, not months.

🎯

Data-driven priorities

Pareto analysis shows which 20% of problems cause 80% of losses. Engineering fixes the right things first.

Process Modeler

Map your entire operation visually β€” every stream, every step, every dependency. The system calculates critical path, bottleneck, and lead time automatically.

ROI:

Unbalanced staffing wastes 15-30% of labor capacity. With 50 people at $20/hr, that's $150-300K/year. The process modeler shows you exactly where the imbalance is.

  • Multi-stream modeling with cross-stream dependencies
  • Critical path analysis with lead time calculations
  • Bottleneck detection β€” see the constraint instantly
  • Cycle times, shift activation, and roster management
  • Save to cloud, create reusable templates

Core Feature

Auto-Assign Staffing (TOC Math)

One button distributes your available people across every process step using Theory of Constraints. The algorithm maximizes throughput by feeding the bottleneck first.

ROI:

10-25% more output with the same number of people. For a facility processing $5M/year, a 15% throughput gain = $750K in added capacity.

  • Enter headcount with +/- buttons (5 seconds)
  • One-tap auto-assign based on TOC math
  • Bottleneck highlighted instantly in red
  • Manual override available β€” adjust and recalculate
  • Per-shift staffing plans (1st, 2nd, 3rd shift)

My Day β€” Your Daily Playbook

One screen. Everything a supervisor needs to do today. No dashboards, no charts, no analytics. Just a checklist that auto-populates based on your role, shift, and what happened before.

ROI:

Eliminates "good shift / bad shift" depending on who's running it. Consistent execution from every supervisor = predictable output = fewer surprises for management.

  • Quick Staff card with auto-assign
  • Incoming shift notes from previous supervisor
  • Auto-populated production targets
  • Open action items assigned to you
  • Daily tasks (audits, safety checks, walkthroughs)
  • Outlook/Google Calendar sync via ICS export

Shift Reports (Under 3 Minutes)

Standardized reports that capture production, quality, safety, downtime, and action items. Targets auto-fill. Everything auto-saves. Managers see progress in real time.

ROI:

Facilities with structured shift reporting see 5-15% improvement in schedule adherence within the first quarter. Real data replaces "I think we did about 800 units."

  • Auto-populated production targets from staffing plan
  • Live auto-save β€” never lose work
  • Production, safety, downtime, defects, action items in one form
  • Multiple production entries per report
  • Draft & submit flow β€” start at shift-start, finish at shift-end
  • Real-time streaming to manager dashboards

Dashboards, Trends & Pareto

KPI dashboards with OEE, throughput, schedule adherence. 14-day production trends. Pareto analysis. Performance trends over 30 days. All auto-generated from shift reports.

ROI:

A $500/hr downtime event caught on day 3 instead of day 30 saves $13,500. Pareto analysis focuses improvement on the 20% of causes behind 80% of losses.

  • KPI cards: OEE, throughput, schedule adherence, quality rate
  • 14-day production trend charts
  • Pareto analysis β€” defects and downtime ranked by impact
  • Performance trends β€” 7, 14, or 30-day rolling views
  • Bottleneck alerts in real time
  • Report history searchable by date, facility, shift
