TIME TRACKING AND PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

The Jefferson – MANUFACTURING OPERATION SYSTEM

What is the J-MOS System?

The Jefferson – Manufacturing Operation System, is a software package designed by a custom wood architectural millwork firm located in Virginia. Due to the internal success of this program we believe it is of great value to similar firms in our industry.

The J-MOS system is designed as an in-house software package used as the central communication tool between the Owners, Estimators, Project Managers, Production Staff, floor personnel, and accounting department.

J-MOS creates and organizes millwork orders; loads and tracks hours in Real-Time; creates fabrication reports; job analysis; capacity plans for fabrication windows; what if scenarios for task completions; posted hours reports; delivery tickets; time sheets; comparisons of estimated vs. actual hours; data collection using barcoded work orders and touch-screen input devices; tracks: parts, batches, tasks or processes, hours on jobs and work orders, employee time; percent completion updates, expected due date completion, quantity of parts and batch completion; Real-Time snapshot of what's going on in the shop; warns of time overages, late completions; non-value added labor tracking… and much more.

Jefferson Industrial Software’s office is physically located in a millwork plant and intends to stay in this environment. The only way to keep a pulse on the industry and change with its trends is not be apart from it! Being a part of the everyday action helps hone the needs for the J-MOS System.

J-MOS is an evolution of ideas stemming from the basic needs of workers in our industry. There is an ongoing never-ending challenge to supply this need and we are dedicated to meet this challenge.

We are very grateful for the input from our current J-MOS clients. We try to implement their needs in our software and share it with the rest of the industry. This keeps us moving continuously forward.

Before you purchase time management and organizational software, whether theirs or ours, consider this:

Be sure the software is priced so you can get a quick return on your investment!

Check for hidden costs (i.e.: seats, updates, service, hardware, compatibility).

Make sure you need, and will use all the packages you are paying for when you buy software, or, at least use most of them.

Feel comfortable with whom you’re dealing with, be sure they know your industry!

Is the software company “listening” to you?

Look hard at how easy the software is to use and how long the learning curve will be.

How accessible is the data once it has been collected? Is the data proprietary?

How much does it cost to add a person, station or computer to the “system”?

What do you get with the service contract?

Keep Moving Forward!
