My Shop Analytics

A friend runs a machine shop and wanted something to track his orders, parts and operations run on his machines. I thought, 'I can do that'. I made a unique kanban board for him and his employees to keep track of their parts. Basically creating an order with parts and quantities, price for material, and other easy to track data, you then drag them from machine to machine and fill out a form each time. The end result is we have all kinds of data to track and analyze. I can see how long each machine is running, how long each employee is working, how long each part is taking to make, etc.

All that data can result in the business focusing on the most profitable parts, machines, employees, etc. It can also help in quoting new jobs, knowing how long it will take to make a part, etc. A real ROI.

Keep in mind I am not a designer, there are several things that could use a nice designer's touch, but its all functional. Its been updated since this screenshots were taken.
