Daily production schedule notes
About 2.5 hours a week back for the planner, because sales knows what slipped before a customer asks.

How it runs
What we build, step by step.
This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.
- 01
Schedule and shift notes gathered
The current schedule and each shift's notes on output, downtime and problems are collected at the end of the day.
- 02
A daily note for the office
What finished, what's running tomorrow, and which customer orders have moved, with the reason the shift gave.
- 03
A cleaner shift handover
Open problems are listed with an owner and the next action, and facts are kept separate from suspected causes.
- 04
Affected orders flagged for sales
Each rep gets a short list of their customers' orders that slipped.
Shown with software we see a lot. If your team uses something else, we build it into that instead.
Built for your business
Same job, different business. We build yours.
Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.
Your steps
Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.
Your software
Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.
Your rules
Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.
You sign off
Your team keeps the final say.
The shift lead checks the facts in the handover, and the planner confirms any changed date before sales passes it on.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
2.5 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 115 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$5,750
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
Sales walks out to the shop floor or messages the planner to ask where an order is. The planner answers the same questions all day, and the shift handover is a few lines that leave out what the next team needs.

A month in
About 2.5 hours a week of "where's my order" interruptions from inside the building goes, and the next shift starts with the full picture.
FAQ
Does it change the schedule?
No. The daily production note only reports what the schedule and shift notes say. Planning stays with the planner.
Our shift notes are on paper. Does that work?
Yes. Paper shift notes work from a photo of the sheet, or from a short form on a tablet. We pick whichever your shift leads will stick with.
