Gemba Solutions Job Sequencing module offers a new dimension to our existing software, allowing a production machine’s workload to be sequenced and its performance against that workload to be monitored.

Unlike traditional scheduling or planning software, this module calculates realistic job start and end times based on data relating to the demonstrated performance of your assets. This gives a much more accurate picture of your actual production schedule rather than one based on theoretical/nominal production rates.

The user can pre-load the system with jobs and the software will calculate start times and dates based on actual shift availability, planned downtime and demonstrated OEE levels. The end times that the system calculates will be compared to the due dates/times that the user has entered in to the system, and any jobs that won’t meet their due date will be highlighted immediately.

This means that you will get advance warning of any potential to miss a deadline, and you’ll have the opportunity to re-order the jobs, contact your customer etc before the problem occurs.
