METRIC | OWNER | COMMENTS |
Job Card On-Time to Release | Planning | Need to release within capacity & material availability This drives Raw Material and Work In Process. |
Job Card On-Time to Delivery | Planning & Operations | Ask: Was the Job Card released late/early? If we are completing early, then we may have Manufacturing Lead Time or routing move/queue disconnects that need fixing. This drives Schedule Attainment. |
Job Card On-Time to Cycle | Planning & Operations | Ask: Why are we early – are we making others late, are lead times overstated, etc.? Ask: Why are we late – was there a disruptor, priority change (pull forward), work on an ‘early’, etc.? This measures flow/velocity and drives WIP. |
% Overdue Job Cards | Planning & Operations | Ask: Why do I have past dues? Is this poor planning, poor execution, or both? This drives WIP; leading indicator on shipment accuracy. |
Job Card Released > 7 Days Early | Planning | Ask: Are we releasing Job Cards early or “date-rolling” (re-dating v re-scheduling)? Were parts bought in too early? Do we have a capacity issue? Will these orders make others late? This drives up Raw and WIP investments. |
We understand the value of supplementing our assessments and programmes with comprehensive flow diagrams and explanatory narratives
We work across multiple sectors of the industry and provide support at any stage of your process improvements or building project
