A project management blog for manufacturing and engineering
Did you know you can use custom scripts to perform checks on employee barcode scans? When shop floor employees scan barcodes while performing manufacturing jobs, your custom scripts can check their values to make sure they are correct. This reduces the number of incorrect scans and incorrect values.
Watch the video below.
Learn how to create scripts that check barcode input values using your own custom business rules.
ERP or MRP? Or neither?
Standard Time is a hard one to classify. Take a look at the video below to decide for yourself.
You can clearly see that ST has manufacturing jobs, customers, invoicing, tasks, schedules, and just about everything both ERP’s and MRP’s have. So which one is it!

Follow the steps in this video to attach engineering and manufacturing drawings to jobs in Standard Time. This lets you view drawings when performing the project.
Employees can even pull up drawings with a special barcode scan.
Consider allowing Standard Time to manage your job management. You’ll spend less time communicating job status, figuring out where jobs are, and who’s working on them.

Learn how the Standard Time timesheet can be used in manufacturing. You probably already know you can scan barcodes on the shop floor, but there is so much more in there.
Office workers can enter time manually into a weekly timesheet. Managers and supervisors can view employee hours in that same weekly timesheet or in a spreadsheet style grid. You can export to Excel, and run scheduled reports on the timesheet data. This little video may give you some inspiration to try this in the office.
Let’s get into shop floor inventory tracking! Got a manufacturing shop? This video is for you. This tells you exactly how to get timestamped records of both time and material usage.
This video is unedited, non-commercialized and authentic. Hope you like it!
I love ice cream! And I love manufacturing!
We hope this cute video will inspire you to try Standard Time to improve your manufacturing shop. Scan barcodes, see WIP on the shop wall, be more efficient. Then reward yourself with some ice cream!
Aw, rats! Forgot again! Employees keep forgetting to scan out of jobs at lunch and the end of the day.
Guess what?
We’ve got a solution for that. This little video may inspire you to enable this really cool capability in Standard Time.
I really thought he was going to miss. I mean the ball looked like it was going right past his racket. What do you think?
Of course, that never happens in business… or in manufacturing. You never miss. Everything you do is perfect. You never mess up. There’s no waste, no inefficiencies, no loss. Same with us! Geez, the world is so great, isn’t it? 🙂
How do you get shop floor job status now? Don’t say, “We just yell across the shop floor over the noise of grinders, CNC’s, plasma, benders, and exhaust fans“. Cuz that’s not an answer, dude.
