See the slip before it ships.

The slip seen before it ships, not after.

For AS9100 shops running high-mix work with plating, heat treat, and inspection sent out. We draw the shop as a Frame on the records you already keep, show which room the late days come out of, and say how far ahead the schedule can honestly see.

Where the week goes

  • Parts sit at outside vendors and nobody tracks the round trip.
  • The master schedule lives in one spreadsheet, rebuilt by hand after every hot job.
  • A late part means an NCR, an expedite fee, and a root-cause report the customer wants by Friday.
