Secure-Awarehas been involved with designing Biometric systems to take care of a number of issues related to Company Profitability & Staff Efficiency.. Version 2 There are THREE Modules to this JOB Production System: 1) TurboTime – Production Job Costing (Barcode) 2) TurboTime – Time & Attendance Software 3) TurboTime – Big Wall Clock & Siren system EXTRA OPTION:CCTV to monitor all production controls.
Was the Job we just completed profitable? Are we making money or haemorrhaging on some products? Can we measure how long it takes to complete a Job?Can we cut back on Overtime but still increase productivity? Do we really need to know what it costs to make things?
A Honest Day’s Pay for a Honest Day’s Work! That is easier said than done! Currently you Pay staff for being at “Work” i.e. 40 Hours with 15 Hours Overtime!But only 32 hours are allocated to Work orders for that WEEK What happened to all the other hours you are paying for? Times that by 40 Employees and it will not take you long to figure out: PROBLEM Are you paying your staff to be at work, or paying them to work? Have you ever measured the COST of LOST production time at your company?Companies know they have a problem but how can you begin to measure it? How can you measure the time being paid to an employee for being at work versus the hours allocated to Jobs and productivity? Would you like to know who is Productive and Who is Not? DO YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? TurboTimeHAS a solution!
Production Timing Failure? Most companies out there use the old “Thumb-suck” method to guessHOW MUCH TIMEis actually needed to complete any given Job! This “Projected Time” is then built into the quote / project for the customer, and if accepted, a Work Order is generated based on these “Thumb Suck hours”. Under Quoting versus Over Quoting! Not allocating enough time to a Job means you will get business you don’t necessarily want and your profit margins are way to tight. You could be losing money_ _ _ _ _ _ on every Quote! Well, there goes that profit! Over quoting on any Job is dangerous as you could unwittingly lose potential business as your quote is based on incorrect information. NOT KNOWING IS EXPENSIVE
Most companies have a good idea of the cost of MATERIALS, before they begin to manufacture their products. But when it comes to accurately forecasting the COST OF LABOUR and the “TIME REQUIRED”to manufacture your products, That’s where theWheels Fall Off. How can you stay competitive if you are not sure of the TRUE TIME required to quote on production costs. Labour Costs is a major cost to your company and you are Tendering / Quoting, based on Guesswork? That is as clever as . . . . . . . . . Cutting bread with a wooden spoon!
So what is Production Timing? * Production Timingis the ability to measure the “Time” taken to manufacture a product from START to FINISH. * Each “Task” has a duration! (Cutting, Welding, Grinding, etc.) * Each TASK has a COST to the company (this includes all overheads) * Measure the “Budget Time” versus the “Actual Time!” * Tasks! - Did they exceed the time allotted for that Job? * Measure Wage cost against Production Cost during your production * Profit and Loss is accurate because you now know manufacturing FACTS. * Here is a TOOL to dramatically increase your Productivity and PROFIT.
Production Timing solutions. If your current system to measure the time taken to manufacture your products is non existent or a dismal FAILURE, then you will be looking for something that is easy to use, reliable and gives you the information you need. This is what we came up with. Now you can accuratelymeasure how much TIME was taken for each Job, from Start to Finish.Measure the MONEY needed (Labour and Overhead Cost) to complete not only the JOB but each and every TASK. • Excessive time taken to complete any JOB can now be investigated. • Is more training required for that operator? • Was the time allowed simply inadequate for the task at hand? • It might be that a machine is faulty, but whatever the reason is, it will be brought to your attention and resolved one way or another. • Hind sight gives you 20-20 vision. • As each Job is completed, you have all the information at hand to know if it was profitable project or was it running at a loss! Information allows Action to be taken. • With time, quotes can be adjusted accordingly and you increase your accuracy. Look at your Profit & Loss report. Allow for the appropriate action to be taken before you start the next Job or send out the next Quote.
A honest day’s pay for a honest day’s work! Start paying staff for working and not for being at work! Your employees cannot beat this Production Timingsystem. Either they book too much time to a Task / Ops number and the system will highlight this fact, or they are getting paid for to many man hours that are not being accounted for! Either way, THEY are accountable for THEIR“TIME”. Here is an unbiased system that gives everyone a fair opportunity to prove that they are delivering.
Why some employees will HATE this system! Employees, now, for the first time, are accountable for their time! Those who have been getting away with working at the old two speed rate (Stop and Reverse) surely will not be ecstatic with the introduction of this system. We will even tell you who they are after installing this system and without us even going onto the Job-floor or talking to them! First Trick - They try not to clock “OFF” a Job! Result = Missing clocking – Short Time – please explain. Second trick - They don’t clock “ON” to a Job! Result = Missing time – please explain. This system means that they are accountable for their time and either way they need to explain why it took too long, or why they have not accounted for their time PAID to them. Either way, they cannot beat the system.
Lets get started, so what is needed? * A number of JOB DATA CAPTURE units are installed at convenient points around the factory (Needs a TCP IP point). • * Barcode readers are attached to the Data Capture Readers. • * Barcodes are printed for each EMPLOYEE • * Barcodes are printed for every JOB stick it on your current Doc. • * Barcodes are printed for each TASK • * Barcodes are printed for EXIT codes.
TASK Codes ON: EXIT REASONS * Machining * Cut & Punch * Boiler Making * Welding * Drilling * Sand Blasting * Painting – Spray booth * Milling M27 machine * Long Seam Welding * Straightening * Quality Control * Helping Hands * Warranty – No charge! * Pack & Ship • * POWER FAILURE • * Waiting for Instruction • * Emergency Change Job • * Machine Breakdown • * Going to Stores • * Waiting for SPARES • * Task Completed • * Task Completed & Shift END • * JOB Completed • END of SHIFT. • You can have as many reasons as you want.
TASK Codes EXIT CODES JOB STOP JOB START Barco-de Scanner in Cradle WITH STEEL CABLE SO THAT IT CANNOT FALL ON THE FLOOR. Picture from a real live site!
The readers all have their TCP IP points and are installed on the walls in the factory – Now what? TASK Codes TASKS & EXIT Codes are printed onto A4 Paper andplaced on Each side of the Job costing reader. EXIT Codes Now you have the Barcode DATA Capture reader on the wall with the ”START TASK” on the left and the “EXIT REASON” on the right hand side – Is that Visualised?
You saw from the previous page that you can ADD and setup all your tasks. Then you can ADD a VALUE to each Task. The report will show you the $$COST $$ of each Task, or at any stage of the final cost of that $ $ JOB $ $
How Does It Work? Each employee receives TWO Employee Numbers, 1 x for Time & 1 x JOB The TIME / Attendance can be card, fingerprint, Facial. But the JOB number is always a BARCODE in the form of a ID type card with a barcode label. This Employee Number (without the preceding E) can be used to clock the employee “In” and “Out” for Time & Attendance as well as Production timing. * Access Control for unlocking doors can also be added at a later stage. • Clock In – Time & Attendance (Optional.) • Clock “ON” a Job. • Clock “OFF” a Job. • Job Status – Tells you the current status of all Jobs open. • Clock Out – Going Home - Time & Attendance (Optional.)
Clocking ON (Starting) a Job: Push on the Data Capture Clock F1 F1 F1 F1 * SCAN the Employee Number. * SCAN the JOB Number, * SCAN the TASK Number.
Clocking OFF (END) a Job: Push on the Data Capture Clock F5 * SCAN the Employee Number. * SCAN the EXIT REASON. That’s it. We cannot make it easier than that!
Network Overview: Typically there are between ONE & FIVE PC’s that might want to view JOB information.PC1 -System-Operator - Use this PC to ADD Job's & PRINT BARCODES. Jobs are added to the system using PC1 and only closed once they have been Invoiced. To ADD a Job – Enter the job number i.e. J100-555 + Description then ADD all the Tasks from the Pop-up list plus all the time allowed for each operation. To close this Job you need to click on Close and “Save” the “Formula” or “Recipe” You may want to use this information again. PC2 & PC3 – Production Director / Workshop manager. Sales department can look up jobs to see where they are in the process and if any Job is “Waiting for spares” it will be highlighted in RED.
Network Overview. PC4– Stores. Allows stores to see what Jobs are “Waiting for PARTS” and the Job number as well as what section (Task) that the Job has stopped on. - Cannot invoice if the job is not Completed. PC5– Workshop Floor – Allows staff, foremen to see who is working on what Job and the status of the Jobs. PC6– SALES DEPARTMENT – can log in, type a JOB number in and SEE where that Job is – Painting Shop, etc. Quit bugging Production. Staff can also clock IN/OUT when at STORES for “Collecting Parts” as an enormous amount of time is wasted whilst standing around at stores pretending to be “Waiting” to collect parts. *NB* Stores may need it’s own separate DATA Terminal!
Your FLOW of Events: 1. Quotation accepted by customer and purchase order received 2. Works order number issued 3. System-Operator prints barcode labels and attaches to Job Cards. Sends to shop floor. 4. Employee Clocks - ON JOB. Remember how easy it is? F1 Scan Employee card, Scan Job Number, Scan Task. Done. • Employee Clock’s - OFF JOB. Push F5 Scan Employee card, scan EXIT code-Done 6. ** Repeat steps 4, 5 until Job is finished. ** • Do post mortem. Analyse the results of any or all your Jobs, especially those over budget. • Was the time allowed enough, or was it realistic? • So was it the Job or the Person? The Hi-resolution CCTV system will solve this issue. 10. Invoice & Close Job. Start again at step 1 – ADDJOB.
Some of the Reports Available. JOB Status report.Shows which Jobs are currently Open and what the current status is. Indicates ”When“ they were opened and ”Who” is working on them now. Note on the PC screen - All “Waiting for parts” are highlighted in RED for Action. Time Allocated to any JOB report.Shows the hours booked to a job. Select Summery or Detailed. All Start / Stop times are indicated with the hours calculated and accumulated for you. Time Allocated to an Employee report. Shows what time employees clocked ON / OFF Jobs, the Time spent on the various Jobs for that day or for the Week, Month, Year! If an employee only booked 6 hours to Jobs for the day but was actually paid for 10 (TEN) Hours. . . . . . . . Then what happened to those LOST hours?
Some more Reports Available. Excess Time report.Shows all Jobs where the time allocated exceeds the time allowed. Action needs to be taken to make sure the problem is identified and does not re-occur. Daily Exception report.Shows all Jobs that have missing clockings. Shows who clocked onto a Job but not off a job! Take action to make sure the problem does not re-occur. Over budget Jobs.Shows all Jobs that have exceeded their monitory value. Shows the % over budget by Job and Task. These get better with time as you have the tools to measure. Shows you Time and Money. Budget 160 hours but when finished, took 240 hours Budget was R 80 000 final cost was R 120 000 50% over budget and that cost you R 40 000.00 *#@!
How does the “Production Timing” system help your company? Gives your company the ability to accurately measure how much TIME was taken to complete any given Work Order, versus just guessing. You can measure the pre-determined time for each Operation. Now you know how many man hours are taken to complete any Job / Works order, all broken down into bite size “time” chunks. This allows you to build up accurate data over time so that you don’t under / over quote. Once you can MEASURE, you can increase productivity. Increase productivity means an increase in efficiency and PROFIT. You can quickly and accurately highlight any excessive time taken to complete a Work Order and Who / What is eating up time.
How does the “Production Timing” system help your company? The status of all “Works Orders/Jobs numbers” are highlight as to what the current status is and the reason for the stoppage. What % of the Job are currently (50%) (85%) (175%) etc., What Jobs are still outstanding, “Waiting for SPARES”! Should any paperwork gets lost, all the appropriate information is now on your PC, dates, times, who worked on that part, etc. Guarantees and re-work can be quickly addressed and resolved. NOW – you can tell how long it took to manufacture your product(s) You have the TIME and MONEY it took to complete your production run/Job Once you have this information your QUOTES will be far more realistic and you PROFIT will be accurately measured. Monitor your “Time Costs”, your profitability and know the progress and status of each Job. Ensure that the jobs are completed within the expected completion date and budget. .
What else can the “Production Timing” system help your company? Once you have a “Recipe” of a product, you can “Save the Recipe” We know how many hours it to took Cutting, Welding, Grinding, Polishing, Assembly, Sandblast, Paint, Final inspection, Pack, Load & Ship. We know all these things. Hours and money. i.e. Fact – it took 174 hours = which is equal to 74 850.00 bucks. Save your “Formula” – Next time, “RESTORE” your formula. A PDF report of all the hours and figures pop up, and a NOTES pad is their for you to “refresh” that rusty memory. Lookup what you did the last time, now plan what you are doing to do this time round. If you cannot measure, you have no control. – We measure real well. *Use the past to plan the future. *Increase productivity, get rid of guessing by having facts. Accurate quotations bring in profitable business. As the Marketing executive told the board meeting. “FIFTY percept of our advertising works and the other FIFTY% does not. If only we knew which 50%! ! ! !” Hope that is not like your Quotes & Production!
Each Employee is allocated to a Task Group as to what he can and can not do. The *** indicates an employee has clocked onto a TASK he is not supposed to do! - To-date this has NOT been a problem as each employee knows his 2, 3, or 4 task that he is qualified to do.
What is needed! • * Data Collection Terminal (s) • * Barcode Printer • * Barcode Scanner. • * TurboTime Software • * Production Timing Software

The System This system gives you invaluable feedback as you can now measure how much time is allocated to a Job and how long it actually took. Also the time wasted by employees booking time to “Waiting for instructions” The employee’s need to work with the system, not against it. Employees have to account for “their time” no matter what! If they book too much time to the job, you will find out, because the system warns you that the time you Quoted has been exceeded. THEN QUESTION WHY! Is it a “Machine” problem, a “Employee” problem or a “Quote” problem? Now that the Job is complete, click on the icon that says “Close Job.” This saves and stores Job 100-555 and when you need it, you retrieve that data and make a comparison. You know how long it took for the last Job, did this take longer or less time? Build up HISTORY as you go along. Get to know which jobs are PROFITABLE and which are NOT! Accurate information available at your fingertips means Decisions are based on FACTS, not wishful thinking. Job Security, Company Stability and Profitability.

Wall clock system! 1 – 10 clocks all over the factory The idea behind the Wall Clock is to have “ONE UNIFORMED TIME” in the workplace. Ask four people the time and you will get four different answers (test this theory) so irrespective of who’s watch says what, whatever the time indicated on the wall clock, then that is what the time is. The HH:MM is circled by “Hi-Bright” LED’s to emphasize the seconds. When the seconds are in RED the workers are expected to be on the work floor working. When the seconds change from red to GREEN then they can go for their break. The clock can sound both a Siren / Bell and to linked to your PC via a Radio Frequency (RF) signal. The time is received from the Greenwich “atomic time”. There are NO CABLES as the RF transmits the time from the PC to the various wall clocks around your factory. The whole concept cannot be explained on one page, but the idea is to keep the workers on the shop floor “working” for those few extra minutes and the wall clock system will ring a “Warning” at the correct time. The warning signal is 2 minutes before the shift restarts, because it gets them back to work sooner, these few minutes here and there ADD UP and if you take into account what the COST PER HOUR is to run your business, then that time accumulated in additional productivity is astounding. (Ask us for more info on this concept)

TOUCH SCREEN ON THE FACTORY FLOOR This is a “Touch Screen” application was designed to be installed in the Factory, so anyone can walk up to it and find out details on one job or a load of general info. RED is Over budget and Green means still on track.The idea being that every morning, you can have a workshop meeting and look at all Jobs that are over the 80% mark, all Jobs that are RED.Look at all Jobs due:- This Week, Next Week, This month This “Touch Screen” Application came from 3 ideas, one from a site visit we did to Mauritius where the Sales guys were always asking production when their customers product was going to be ready! The 2nd idea came from a site visit to a company who had gone to London to see a German system and they had a meeting every morning using a Touch screen to go through their orders and work in progress and the 3rd from an existing customer who wanted to call any employee who was looking way too casual to be doing anything. Walk him over to the Touch Screen and see exactly what Job’s he had done so far for the day. :-O) Sales Department can have this App on their PC’s and can see where their customers orders are without phoning anyone! The Factory Manager can have it on his PC and see what Jobs are over budget, due this week, etc. Can be good for the MD / Financial Director to see what is happening on the factory floor. That big job, can it be invoiced? If it is Wednesday 27th month end is Friday! Are going to make that dead line or not?
