Built for shops that are ready to move beyond Excel
Most small manufacturers still manage production with spreadsheets, whiteboards, paper travelers, or disconnected ERP data.
It works — until it doesn't.
Jobs change. Priorities move. Operators need updates. Promised dates slip. Nobody knows exactly what is running, what is late, or what should happen next.
JITbase gives your team one simple place to plan and follow production.
What you can do with JITbase Planning
- Plan production with drag & drop
Move jobs, adjust priorities, rebalance the schedule, and react quickly when something changes. No complex setup. No heavy implementation. Just a planning board your team can actually use. - Manage work orders, priorities, and promised dates
Keep production organized around real customer commitments. See what needs to run, what is late, what is coming next, and where capacity is getting tight.
- Assign operators, workstations, and machines
Know who is working on what, where each job should run, and how the shop is loaded. JITbase helps your team align planning, supervisors, and operators around the same schedule. - Manage shifts and available capacity
Plan around your real production capacity, not theoretical assumptions. Take shifts, availability, and workload into account when building the schedule.
- Communicate the plan to the shop floor
Stop printing new schedules or sending constant updates. Operators can see what needs to be done, in the right order, directly from the shop floor interface. - Track live production progress
See what is planned, what is in progress, and what has been completed. Your planning is no longer static. It becomes a live view of production. - Update the schedule through operator inputs or existing scans
Start simple with operator updates, or connect JITbase to existing scan workflows. You do not need machine connectivity to get started.
Start without connecting your machines
You can start with JITbase Planning using operator inputs or existing scans.
That means you can organize your shop immediately, without waiting for machine connectivity, IT work, or a complex integration project.
When you are ready, JITbase can also connect to machines to automate production updates.
