Outlay

Scheduling, the cockpit and live costing on one model of the plant.

Finite machine time and qualified labour, plan beside actual on one Gantt, and margin against standard while the shift is still going.

The rest of the plant, on the same model.

Crew needed, run by run

Each block is one production run, as tall as its crew and as long as it runs, stacked by area against the staffing you have, so a shortage shows before the shift.

The Outlay labour profile: production runs stacked by area across the day, coloured by mixing, processing, finishing and packing, with dashed lines for the crew on hand.
The labour profile for one site and one day. Demo data.

Every table the plan needs

Pick what you will use Outlay for and the setup shows the tables that takes, how they depend on each other, and which are already filled.

The Outlay data setup screen: switches for scheduling, labour planning, shop-floor capture and standard costing beside a map of the tables they need, from items and areas to cost standards, routing steps and the skills matrix.
Data setup, with every table filled. Demo data.

Margin by site and operation, live

Planned against projected margin, schedule, scrap, downtime and crew for the whole estate, with the biggest opportunity named and a list of where to look first.

The Outlay reporting screen: planned and projected margin, variance, on-schedule share, scrap, downtime and crew tiles, the top performer and biggest opportunity, and a where-to-focus list of products and lines.
The roll-up for the demo company. Demo data.

A slow oven shows up in the cockpit while the shift still has time to recover it.
