Visualize, prioritize and start production fast

Each H&G customer has custom requirements requiring careful powder painting to ensure the highest quality.

As a job shop there is no predicting what the next customer order will be; supervisors have to make quick decision and have even quicker turn around times on production throughput.

H&G Powder Painting uses Cohesiv's Adaptive Scheduler; a system built to visualize job floor and help leadership quickly adjust, re-prioritize, and deliver on customer promise dates.

Within months they began seeing improvements in accuracy to quote on jobs and delivery dates, reduce administrative shop floor processes and update customers in real-time on the status of their production.

Seamless Communications from Shop to Office to Customer

H&G's Adaptive Scheduler's main goal was to give the leadership team visualization over their shop floor and monitor real time job progress, shop capacity, and upcoming jobs.

Being able to see every production run live on mobile means customer updates can happen in instant.

Each production run tracks operator run times, downtimes, and estimated completion dates for the most accurate promise date deliveries.

The systems core features and real-team trackers are able to visualize:

1. The exact length each production run takes from start to finish.
2. Profitability of each job based on pricing and run time calculators.
3. Overheads/profit loss due to downtime.
4. Inventory tracking for quick turn arounds on RFQ's.

I see it as a step in the right direction. We're investing in our future... With a push of a button I can see I made money on 'ABC' - I made A LOT of money on 'ABC' - and I lost on EFG. And now I have the data I need to make decisions on fixing EFG.
