The manufacturers that succeed will be those who can consistently deliver on time. Many factories find that they have orders still on line that they need to deliver today. And if not, what do we need to do to complete the standard minutes left at each stage. An increase in operators performance Traditionally clothing manufacturers have used devices called 'Pacers' to help increase an operators performance. A pacer is a simple device which displays the operators performance after the completion of a bundle.
Pacers have the effect of increasing performance.
Each operators terminal displays their current performance, total pay so far, and their predicted pay for the day. It also displays a timer which operators can use to pace themselves. Improved attendance With a Real-Time system clocking on machines are no longer required. This is because operators clock on and off at their own terminal. This improves overall attended time since operators are at their place of work when clocking in and out.
