Shop floor management software built for small manufacturers
Run the daily meeting, see red days before they become bad months, and give operators a fast way to raise barriers. DO.Impact replaces the whiteboard-and-spreadsheet routine with connected shop floor management that feeds straight into your weekly and board reviews.
The demo opens a read-only manufacturer workspace with your email — no password, no card.
Daily SQDP boards that people actually use
Every value stream gets a board covering Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and People. Days are marked green or red with a single tap, categories are fully configurable, and a red day can trigger a 3C escalation when it deserves one — not automatically, so the board stays honest.
Configurable categories, targets and units per value stream
Green / red day cycling without forced paperwork
Consolidated board rolling multiple lines into one view
Red-cause Pareto showing exactly what drives the red days
Hour-by-hour tracking and Short Interval Control
Short Interval Control turns a shift into manageable intervals. Teams log planned versus actual output each hour, pick a loss code when there is a gap, and the system builds the loss Pareto for you. Supervisors see drift while there is still time to react.
Plan vs actual per hour with automatic variance
Standard loss codes for downtime, quality, material and manning
Loss Pareto by line, shift or period
Escalation log linking each barrier to an owner and a due date
A kiosk view designed for the floor, not the office
Floor View is a touch-friendly screen for the production area. Big status tiles, two-tap barrier logging, and a motivator that shows how many barriers have been cleared for the team. It is deliberately about removing obstacles rather than tracking people.
Full-screen kiosk mode for line-side tablets and TVs
Simplified 3C creation for barrier removal
Live cleared-barrier count for the crew
Shop floor data that reaches the board room
The same numbers your supervisors log feed the weekly leadership review and the monthly board report. No re-keying, no separate slide pack, no arguing about which version is current.
Weekly SLT meeting mode driven by live data
Editable board report exportable to PDF and PowerPoint
Links from red days into problem solving: 3C, A3 and 8D
Frequently asked questions
What is shop floor management software?
Shop floor management software is the system your production teams use to run the day: visual status boards for safety, quality, delivery and cost, hour-by-hour output tracking, downtime and loss capture, and a clear escalation path when a problem cannot be solved locally.
Do small manufacturers need it, or is an ERP enough?
An ERP records transactions; it does not run the daily meeting. Small manufacturers usually keep shop floor management in whiteboards and spreadsheets, which makes trends invisible. Dedicated shop floor software keeps the whiteboard habit but makes the data reportable.
How long does it take to set up?
Most teams have their first SQDP board live the same day. You define value streams and categories, set targets, and start marking days. Hour-by-hour tracking and loss codes can follow in week two.
Will operators feel micromanaged?
DO.Impact includes a dedicated kiosk Floor View built around barrier removal rather than surveillance. Operators log what blocked them, see how many barriers have been cleared for them, and escalate in two taps.
