What is just plan it?

Just Plan It specializes in production scheduling specifically designed for high-mix, low-volume make-to-order settings. Through our collaborations with various manufacturing shops, we have identified the crucial elements that lead to their success. Despite the effective use of an ERP system, CIOvita relied on custom Excel spreadsheets for production scheduling, a method that became increasingly insufficient as the company grew. This approach brought forth several significant issues, including poor visibility and reduced responsiveness to changes. The resulting environment was characterized by constant fluctuations and a focus on crisis management. Before implementing Just Plan It, Loynds utilized spreadsheets, paper lists, and extensive discussions to establish delivery timelines and keep their engineering team updated on current work tasks, as highlighted by Richard Loynds, the Managing Director at Loynds. The main obstacle they faced was the lack of transparency about the actual activities taking place on the shop floor, which was exacerbated by rapidly changing processes. This absence of visibility often resulted in the failure to meet delivery commitments, ultimately threatening customer relationships and eroding trust. The switch to Just Plan It has not only addressed these issues but also brought about a significant enhancement in operational clarity and efficiency, allowing Loynds to regain control over their scheduling processes.

What is Machestra?

Machestra presents an all-in-one solution for production scheduling and shop floor management, specifically designed for small manufacturers operating with 3 to 30 machines. By providing a centralized platform, it replaces the complications associated with spreadsheets, whiteboards, and shared calendars, enabling effective management of equipment, personnel, materials, and schedules. The system emphasizes four essential functions while deliberately steering clear of unnecessary complexities. Each job is segmented into specific operations, with each operation allocated to its respective machine, operator, and timeframe, facilitating accurate tracking of a part's progress through processes such as turning, milling, and inspection instead of relying on approximations. The scheduling board showcases commitments for every machine, helping to avoid double bookings and improving overall workflow efficiency. Furthermore, each operation records its true start and finish times in comparison to initial plans, gradually honing lead time estimates with each completed task, ensuring continuous improvement. Machestra employs a straightforward pricing structure based solely on the number of machines, eliminating per-user fees and making it economically viable for teams to implement without additional costs. The entry-level Starter plan is priced at $19 per month, while the Growth plan is set at $79 per month, with pricing adjusted to reflect local purchasing power. Remarkably, the service is complimentary for users managing three machines or fewer, requiring no credit card information and imposing no time limits for usage. This user-centric approach positions Machestra as an attractive option for small manufacturers eager to enhance their operational efficiency, ultimately leading to increased productivity. Additionally, the ease of use and accessibility further bolster its appeal in a competitive market.
