ED Products recently engaged Creative Manufacturing Solutions to execute a teamwork meeting at our facility in St. Catharines. This was a business process flow mapping exercise involving our senior management group. Robert Jolliffe facilitated the meeting, and introduced us to the Theory of Constraints Thinking Process using the Current Reality Tree concept.
Creative is pleased to announce the release of our Shop Floor Toolkit collection of LEAN inspired data collection tools for Visual Manufacturing. Shop Floor Toolkit is a product designed to replace the tedious data entry requirements of the Visual system with a streamliked "Kiosk" style data collection paradigm.
The main products in the Shop Floor Toolkit include:
Kan Ban - Designed for visual signal driven production decisions made on the shop floor.
Quick Scan - Designed to allow "end of day" data reporting by staff on the shop floor - avoiding the back and forth travel to and from barcode kiosks.
Quic Progress - Specially designed for capital equipment or project manufacturing to collect percent complete statistics.
Wedge - Our adjustable and customizable replacement for the standard Visual wedge.
Time Card Entry - An end-of-shift time card entry tool that "looks like" a standard employee time card.
Customers purchase Shop Floor Toolkit and select from one to three of these and more products with their purchase. Additional information is available from Creative sales staff.
