By using machine cards, we can easily see if a machine is running or not, check if it's on target, and identify any production gaps or inconsistencies. I also discuss how machine cards help us plan ahead for resource allocation and address maintenance issues. Watch this video to learn more about how we use machine cards to optimize our operations. What can you get from a machine card that you can’t get from a utilization chart? You can use machine cards to see: -If your machine is currently running, stopped, or in setup mode -If you are on target or behind target for the shift/day -Where your expected production is expected at the end of the shift/day -If you need to have people stay late or come in on the weekend to make up for lost production -If a machine has upcoming maintenance or maintenance that is overdue -If your cycle times are consistent or if something is preventing consistent production -If downtime has occurred and being tracked for continuous improvement -If TMAC from Caron Engineering has stopped your machine preventing part/machine/spindle damage
