Frequently Asked Questions about Continuous Improvement with FourJaw

Continuous Improvement teams rely on accurate data to drive meaningful change. FourJaw helps CI teams to see where time and efficiency are lost, so they can focus their efforts where they’ll make the biggest impact.

Explore the answers to learn how our production monitoring platform supports Lean, Kaizen, and other CI programmes — from uncovering opportunities to measuring results and sustaining improvement.

How does FourJaw support continuous improvement initiatives?

FourJaw gives CI teams the data they need to identify, prioritise, and measure improvement opportunities. By automatically capturing machine utilisation and downtime reasons, FourJaw provides an accurate, real-time baseline of performance. This enables teams to target the biggest causes of lost productivity and track the impact of improvement projects with confidence.
Can FourJaw help us measure the results of our improvement projects? Yes. FourJaw’s dashboards and downtime trends make it easy to see how machine performance changes over time. Whether you’re running a SMED project, a Kaizen event, or a shift optimisation initiative, you can track downtime reduction, utilisation gains, and overall ROI to demonstrate measurable success to your stakeholders.
What types of continuous improvement programmes work best with FourJaw?

FourJaw supports a wide range of CI methodologies — including Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, and TPM. It provides the live, factual data these frameworks rely on to uncover waste, validate improvements, and sustain gains.

Many customers use FourJaw alongside PDCA or DMAIC to guide improvement cycles from baseline through to control.
How do operators and teams engage with FourJaw during improvement activities?

Operators use tablets on the shop floor to log downtime reasons quickly and accurately. This builds engagement by involving the people closest to the process and giving them a voice in identifying and solving problems.

Meanwhile, managers and CI leads use the web app to visualise patterns, share findings, and celebrate success across teams.
What impact have manufacturers seen from using FourJaw for continuous improvement?

FourJaw customers commonly achieve 10–30% productivity improvements within just a few months. For example, AMS increased machine utilisation by 19% through data-driven CI, while Listers improved productivity by 10% and reduced energy waste. These results show how visibility and data empower teams to make focused, lasting improvements.
