Execution happens in between.
When a machine goes down, every second counts. Who knows about it? Who owns the fix? Are they tied up ? Are operators waiting ?Who makes sure the next shift knows what happened?
Tackboard makes sure the right roles know what happening , fast. No lost tickets. No missed handoffs. No surprises.
When problems repeat , you see it.
The Manufacturing Challenge
Downtime is not just a maintenance problem, engineering problem or quality problem. It is an execution problem
U.S. plants lose an average of 312 hours per year to unplanned downtime — $50 billion in annual losses across the industry. When one hour of unexpected downtime can cost tens of thousands of dollars, slow response is not an option.
Most plants have good people and capable equipment. Plants are dynamic and people are busy . What they lack is a reliable way to surface issues quickly, and make sure resolution is visible before the same problems repeat.
How Tackboard Helps
Tackboard fills the gap between when a problem appears and when it gets solved.
Issues are organized so the right help knows immediately
Ownership is clear — no more guessing what’s being worked on and what’s open
Problems don’t sit unnoticed—
