What this video covers
How Steelhead’s workboards standardize production flow, eliminate chaos, and ensure every operator knows exactly what to work on next.
Problem it solves
Without a structured system, shops prioritize work based on urgency, interruptions, or who is asking the loudest, creating inefficiencies and inconsistency.
Key takeaway
Workboards create a single source of truth for production, bringing consistency, clarity, and focus to the shop floor.

Transcript
Production uses the workboards. Every single one of our processes, especially on the final side, they use workboards to know what they are supposed to work on next. We have total continuity on what everyone's working on at any given time. Everyone follows the same set of instructions; they pull their next order from the work board. We used to have a lot of "hey, this guy needs this part. Hey, he needs this part." Shuffle the parts based on who's screaming the loudest. We don't do that anymore. You know we use workboards. So production doesn't have to worry. It's quiet. They look at their iPad and pull up the workboard and say, "That's what I am doing next," and go to work.
