Human work is invisible in most systems
Even highly automated factories miss a big part of their real activity:
-
❌ Quality checks never reflected in workload or OEE
-
❌ Unplanned tool changes that disrupt production
-
❌ Manual interventions not tracked or time-stamped
-
❌ No traceability on what was actually done.
💬 Result: a constant gap between planned efficiency and real performance.
Model and schedule human tasks automatically
JITbase allows you to create operator tasks within your production plan —
tasks that can run in parallel with machine cycles or trigger automatically based on real events.
✅ Schedule recurring quality checks (e.g., every 20 parts)
✅ Trigger tasks automatically based on machine events
✅ Display tasks in the operator interface
✅ Confirm and track execution for traceability
💡 Human work becomes predictable, measurable, and part of the plan.
How it works?
1️⃣ Supervisors define recurring or event-based tasks (inspection, tool change, cleaning, etc.)
2️⃣ JITbase automatically inserts them into the live production schedule
3️⃣ Operators see them on their screens and confirm completion
4️⃣ Each task is time-stamped and integrated into OEE and workload analytics
All data updates automatically — no manual entry, no forgotten steps.
Why it matters
Human work represents up to 30% of total production time in most factories.
Ignoring it distorts workload calculations and OEE accuracy.
With JITbase:
✅ You plan operator interventions ahead of time
✅ You improve OEE accuracy and workload balance
✅ You ensure traceability of every manual task.
💬 Balanced production means balancing machines and people.
Customer Example
“Before, quality checks and robot reloads were never part of the plan.
Now they’re automatically scheduled and shown in the operator interface.”
— Production Supervisor, Aerospace Supplier
Pro Tip
✅ Operator tasks aren’t exceptions — they’re part of the process.
When human work is visible and predictable, you can plan better, balance workloads, and prevent bottlenecks.
