You make great products, solve your Clients problems by producing advanced machines, issuing an invoice and then after covering all expenses have an unpleasant surprise: where is all the money gone?
The more complicated and ambitious the product is, the higher the risk of cost miscalculation – it is enough to lose a few % from each activity, and the profit from the whole project can disappear. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THANKS TO PRODIO you will be able to not only control the time and budget, but also it will be straightforward, at least as easy as Excel, which you are using now, but first and foremost adding a new machine will be fast.

In Prodio, you can assign planned lead time to each operation and benefit from a potent tool:
It would help if you controlled other expenses, which regularly drain your profit and are challenging to verify, such as ex—machine setting times.
FIND OUT MOREWhen you add a new product to most production management systems, you have to divide it straight away into components and set technology – IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IN PER UNIT PRODUCTION. Practically speaking, it takes a long time to change a customer’s request into a specific product consisting of different parts.
In Prodio, without any problem, you can add component elements in the latter stages and complete technology and documentation – you can even – add up/change the structure during the production process (as the practice often dictates what and how is it going to be processed first).
What’s more, if you treat “Technology Preparation” as one of the operations in the technological sequence, you will be able to account for technologists/programmers working time, and workers at the first machine will know whether they can proceed with their work as the documentation is ready.
FIND OUT MOREWhat’s the biggest problem regarding data analyses in the production of machines/ equipment? If you don’t copy data from work cards and type it into Excel daily, you might not have the chance to catch up, and that delay can cause chaos and prevent natural time reactions. It is also time-consuming, and you might need to hire somebody just for this pointless job.
In Prodio, with one click of a magnifier tool on the list of orders, you can see clearly how long a particular operation took and how it corresponds with the preliminary budget set for the project – see how to turn on, a fast orders progress overview. This function can also motivate employees, as when they visit their actual work progress, they can work harder to fit in the allotted time to earn their bonus.

When you use MS Excel exports, you should find interesting:
This combination allows getting any data regarding a form production/tools quickly. Furthermore, it is also possible to reverse the process by importing data.
What is best to write down and set as “product” in Prodio:
As mentioned in the Tips section – the best way is to write a component element and a completed product as the external order number. However, the main feature apart from the list of ingredients is worth noting when you also register the assembly and mounting times.
Production plan – what can you set as machines/operations?
It is essential to divide to desktop panels (ex., every department can see its machines/operations) constructors/ programmers as separate machines. You can also add as machines the leading providers in co-operation – it will be apparent where the product got stuck when it’s not in-house.
