The Right Kind of Shop Floor Visibility – Right Now

For manufacturers feeling powerless over shop floor production, Protected Flow Manufacturing™ (PFM) helps you drastically improve on-time delivery by prioritizing what needs to happen first, not what’s due first.




PFM can help your shop:
Gain actionable intelligence you can trust
Prioritize based on how you actually work
Predict a better future for your shop floor
Deliver the results you need – fast

Alert. Recommend. Do.

PFM’s Threat-Level Prioritization increases shop floor productivity and promotes better flow by bringing actionable intelligence directly to those closest to the work and ensuring everyone is always working on the right job, next.

  • Gain instant visibility into your entire WIP status and each work order’s associated Threat Level.
  • Identify work orders at risk of being late and problematic operations that need urgent attention.
  • Know exactly where your work orders are and how they’re progressing, which job to work on next, and when customers will receive their order.

There’s Nothing Finite About It

Unlike traditional shop floor production scheduling that focuses on finite capacity and static planning, PFM is the only manufacturing production planning and execution system that accounts for variability by adjusting to real-time conditions.

  • Prevent resource bottlenecks, increased wait times, and confusion over priorities by controlling the release of work with a “just-right date.”
  • Make and keep your customer promises with time allowances that stay up-to-date with the passage of time.
  • Eliminate time-consuming production scheduling meetings with a simple, powerful priority method that everyone can agree on.

Prove the Work
Before You Do the Work

Stop struggling with shop floor production scheduling software that relies on “best-laid plans.” With PFM Planning, simulate the way you'll be executing jobs at each future moment to identify and prevent problematic work orders from derailing production.

  • Expose obstacles such as machine bottlenecks, manpower constraints, and material/tooling availability.
  • See how and when you will be able to complete all jobs based on the capacity and resources you have.
  • Simulate your future by the week, day, hour, or even minute-by-minute to show issues as they're predicted to occur.
