Problem & Context
Manual steps like tool changes or inspections often take longer than expected. One shop found that 66% of delays on a key machine came from planned stops (M00s).
With JITbase, they were able to monitor and analyze these interventions, down to the exact stop and time required, without manual inputs from operators.
From Unpredictable Stops to Actionable Insights
JITbase flagged which programs consistently underperformed. By isolating planned stops that ran 8x longer than expected, the shop was able to:
- Improve operator workflows
- Update overly optimistic time estimates
- Achieve up to +20% better performance on key programs
This also enhanced costing accuracy and future job planning.

This case study reveals how program-level monitoring helped one shop align real and estimated cycle times, eliminating hidden time losses.
