Support the relaunch of manufacturers in the USA!
This is a comeback you can get behind. Buy Standard Time® and support the companies it supports. That’s one way to do your bit for America!
Manufacturing Machine Availability
Got a hot job that needs to be done ASAP? Or, a low-priority job that can wait?
Standard Time has functions for that. See the video below for examples.
You can find the next available slot for each task in a job, or put the job at the head of the line, or at the end.
Shop Floor Improvements
Shop floor improvements start with real-time data. If you can measure it, you can improve it.
Have you tried barcodes and QR codes to track job status? How about inventory and material usage?

Excel Pivot Tables From MFG Data
Excel makes a nice analysis tool. Try these steps to get more from your shop-floor barcode scans. In just a few clicks, you’ll get some valuable intel you can use to improve manufacturing processes.
Project Visibility in Manufacturing
These fake workers are looking at fake jobs for the purpose of inspiring you!
Did it work? Haha!
In actuality, Standard Time® gives you real data, for real jobs, for real WIP status. That should be inspiring!
Las Vegas Manufacturing
Manufacturing in Las Vegas? Huh? I thought that was just gambling and forbidden vices. Nope! Not anymore. Now, it’s manufacturing!
We’re in the golden age of manufacturing!
And Las Vegas is the place for it. And… Standard Time manufacturing software is the program to run your new shop from. Try that willing combination!
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. 🙂
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!
Work Order Tracking
This little video may inspire you to try some automated work order tracking techniques like barcodes, QR codes, or RFIDs.
Scan your job at every workstation. You’ll collect the employee who logged it, the location, task being performed, and some other valuable data.

Real Time Employee Status
Real time employee status can be achieved by scanning barcodes and RFID’s on the shop floor. Just scan to start, then scan again to stop. Now you know exactly where your jobs are, who is working on them, and what each employee is doing at any time.
