Production planning for print and apparel workshops
An order of 200 shirts goes from the DTF printer to the heat press and then to packing. Taktcell gives each step a machine, a time and a person.
Example machines
The screenshots on this page show a fictional demo company, Hillside Print Works.
Each step on its own machine
Create a job for printing, one for pressing and one for packing, each on its own machine and with its own owner. Give them the same customer and deadline, and Taktcell warns you if any step is planned to end after it.
Short jobs and changes
Print work often comes in small, urgent batches. Mark a job as high or urgent priority, drag it forward in the schedule and the person responsible gets a notification about the new time.
Photos of the first piece
The operator adds a photo of the first print or pressed shirt to the job. The supervisor sees it on their phone and can reply in the same thread.
Breakdowns and maintenance
When a press or printer stops, the operator reports it from the phone and the machine shows as broken on the board. Planned cleaning or head maintenance takes its time in the schedule.
