Metal fabrication and job shops
Scheduling software for metal fabrication and job shops
Plan hundreds of unique work orders on the capacity you really have, keep subcontracted steps in sight and deliver on the date you promised.
Why a digital planning board
Hundreds of orders, no two alike.
A whiteboard cannot keep up.
A metal shop runs hundreds of work orders at once, in small and changing batches, with outsourced steps in between. Planners end up chasing priorities instead of improving flow. Still planning in a spreadsheet? See when Excel stops working for production scheduling.
In make-to-order production, an order typically spends 95% of its lead time waiting and 5% being worked on. 24Flow attacks that waiting with a visual planning board, live status from the shop floor and lead time figures you can act on.
