A Commitment System empowers teams to commit to and execute the right work, at the right time, right across the site.
All work is planned, coordinated, visible, safe and productive. Operations shift gear into an ultra-responsive plan-do-check-act cycle, driving better decision-making and continuous improvement.
As a result, more of the plan gets done more often: increasing production, decreasing cost, improving compliance to plan, and making operations safer.
Our software seamlessly pulls together the right information, from the right places and presents it to the right people at the right time – so they get what they need to be productive every shift.
We work with site teams to understand their processes, discover what matters, confirm requirements, then implement and train their people using our specialist skills and experience. We do this both remotely and by spending time with people on site.
This unique, fully integrated, operational management backbone helps operations move from a mish mash of complex spreadsheets, paper and whiteboards to a fully integrated Commitment System in a matter of weeks.
Our easy-to-use suite of software replaces the disconnected cluster of manual whiteboards, paper and spreadsheets most operations use to try and manage day-to-day operations.
Digital transformation initiatives often falter as they lack a solid foundation of control and visibility. Our suite of software is easy to use because we have retained the human side of visual management whilst digitising the tools.
Clients love that they don’t just get software from us, they also receive a tailored Commitment System handbook that describes how the software works to support their frontline MOS or wiring.
This document shows how your team can use our tools in planning, pre-start, handover, short interval control, realignment, review and improvement meetings – this is the instruction manual for your Frontline Commitment System.
A way to understand the breadth of our product suite is by seeing how it maps onto a typical management operating system or the “wiring” that is often used to manage operations.
Our tools cover all of the elements of a typical MOS or wiring system. This means it’s much easier to implement and sustain than the typical tools sites are using now.
Instead of disconnected spreadsheets and whiteboards our tools work together to ensure all frontline work is connected to the intentions of management and planners each shift.
We typically interface with planning systems such as deswik, SAP, Ellipse, Pulse, EPS or RPM to bring in the work that has been planned in these tools.
We can also connect to fleet management systems such as Pitram, Minetec, Newtrax, SCADA or PLOD sheet tools to bring in data that enables short interval control (SIC) and tells us whether tasks are on target or have been completed.
Commit Works is designed to help everyone on site collaborate with each other so that they can give well-coordinated shift plans to crews every shift.
The key to this is that everyone is working in the same system and can see the work that is going to affect each other. This breaks down the silos and greatly reduces the opportunity for clashes and waste.
The product is used in weekly planning, daily commitment, preshift and handover meetings to ensure everyone understands the plan.
Fewzion is used alongside Cite Vis throughout the shift by supervisors, crew and the control room to ensure everyone is working on the plan.
Finally the data about the work that has been completed and the progress made against KPIs is made available to teams in reports that are used for daily and weekly review meetings.
This data is also provided in an analytics package along with any other data you want to report on so that reliability and business improvement teams can do their work.
