JIT Production Withoutthe JIT Panic.
Real-time supplier visibility, quality gate monitoring, and OEE optimization that so you catch supply gaps and quality issues before they stop the line.
The Challenge
What happens when a supplier truck is 45 minutes late
JIT Surprises Kill Your Schedule
Your supplier's truck is late. Or early. Either way, your production schedule just became a suggestion. By the time you know, it's too late to adjust.
Quality Gates Are Black Boxes
How many units passed Station 47 in the last hour? Nobody knows without walking the floor. Quality issues propagate downstream before detection.
OEE Is a Monthly Report, Not Reality
You calculate OEE after the fact. By then, the performance losses, micro-stoppages, and quality issues that caused it are ancient history.
Supplier Coordination Is Chaotic
12 suppliers, 47 components, 3 shifts. Coordinating incoming materials with production schedules requires a war room and constant phone calls.

Real-World Scenarios
A Day in the Life with Sandhed
Here's what a typical day looks like with Sandhed running.
Adjusting the build sequence before a late truck arrives
“Supplier truck delayed by 45 minutes. But you knew at 5:30 because Sandhed showed the truck status. You adjusted the build sequence, pulled from safety stock for 3 part numbers, and kept the line running.”
Catching a fail-rate spike at Station 12
“Station 12 fail rate jumps from 2% to 8% in 15 minutes. Sandhed flags it immediately. Root cause: tool wear on the previous station. You swap the tool before it becomes a batch problem. 200 units saved from rework.”
Finding micro-stoppages hiding in the shift change
“Your shift supervisor spots that Line 3's OEE dropped 5% this week. He drills into Sandhed, sees micro-stoppages clustering at Station 7 between 10-11 AM. Turns out, that's when material handlers rotate shifts. Quick process change, OEE back up.”
