Work Order Efficiency

Tracking work order time is the first way to improve them. If you can learn how much time goes into each operation of a job you can use that to eek out small percentages of improvement. Or, in some cases completely alter your processes. Sometimes small “bugs” in operational processes are actually just tips of the iceberg. That’s why work order tracking has value.

Consider this little video an inspiration to try the Standard Time® tracking capabilities. You might find something worth correcting.  🙂

What is a folder in Standard Time?

What is a folder in Standard Time? It’s just a way of categorizing or putting things, kind-of like folders on your computer. I.e. a place to put them. A bucket.

Use folders to put jobs into buckets. Or inventory into buckets. Or expenses, or any other thing in Standard Time.

The nice thing about folders is that you can find all the time and materials from shop floor activity that is in them.

Time Log Calendar

Still living in the 1980’s with your VCR and car phone? Then this little shorty will inspire you!

This little quickie is a nice reminder to view shop floor barcode scans in a calendar view, even back to the 1980’s! Or whenever you started scanning jobs into Standard Time.

You probably already know that your barcode scans are visible in the Time Logs page, but have you tried the Time Logs calendar? That’s a whole different animal, and it might give you some “rad” new intel. 🙂

Give it a try. Get modern! Get Rad! Get with the 80’s!
