New Planning Role

Planning Boards? Are they still operating in this modern computer dominated business world?

Yes they are, take a look around any office or workplace. Do you see whiteboards, year planners, holiday schedules, paper charts or even post-it notes? These are all forms of manual planning information systems playing an important role in the running of the modern business

Over the years the traditional role of the manual planning board has of course been replaced by software systems. However, they have not disappeared but simply improved and modernised to play a new, important supporting role to the computer

A Complete Schedule

Create a BIG PICTURE of your complete schedule

Software systems contain the smallest and numerous components of any plan. This may be a problem when often all that is required is a summary or ‘BIG PICTURE’ of a complete schedule. Scrolling or rapidly out dated print-outs are not acceptable, particularly when the schedule has to be viewed in its entirety at production and team meetings

The popular Eurocharts magnetic scheduling system provides the communication link between a detailed software plan and a fully visual, rapidly updated and complete summary schedule overview. Coloured magnetic information textplates lock onto the ribbed, steel panel surface and are updated by simply sliding the textplates along the planning line or relocating to another resource

Features

Magnetic Planning System, modular construction Planning Panel

Modular Construction

Magnetic Planning Board Systems are modular in design. Modular index and planning panels are linked side by side into set(s) of wall rails forming a planning display board of any size – dependent on the system requirement.This may be enlarged at a future date by the addition of further panels

Magnetic Display Board, system application example

Sliding Index Panel

Utilising the double tracked wall rails, the Sliding Index panel (Ref: MPI) moves across the system face for accurate index to activity text plate designation

Write On/Wipe Clean

Hand write essential information onto the magnetic text plates with the fine point water based marker pens and wipe clean for re-use at job completion

Magnetic text plates 'snap' to length in 10mm increments

Snap To Length

Precisely allocate data to the planning timescale. Magnetic text plates ‘snap’ to length aligning with the planning panel time scale grid

No more handwritten text plates!
