Industry Challenges
Unpredictable Job Completion
Job shop manufacturing involves producing customized products, making it challenging to accurately predict how long a job will take. This can lead to delays and longer lead times, which can negatively impact the overall efficiency and planning of the business.
Lack of Visibility
Without clear visibility into the production process, it can be difficult to identify and address potential issues. This can result in delays, production downtime, and increased costs.
Resource Optimization
Variability in the production process can lead to waste and inefficiencies, impacting the overall profitability of the business. Optimizing resources, including labor, materials, and equipment, can be challenging to reduce waste and increase efficiency.
Adjusting Production Schedule
