Our Short Interval Control boards are custom made for your needs
Short Interval Control – an introduction
Short Interval Control (SIC) is a structured process of continuous improvement, identifying opportunities for improved production efficiency.
At the heart of the SIC process are on-going short reviews. Above all, these focus on the line and are carried out at regular intervals. For example, every couple of hours. Furthermore, each review lasts for only 10 minutes (or less).
Above all, the Short Interval Control board delivers a way to visually capture on-going results. In other words, what is learned from each of the daily series or reviews that underpin the SIC process.
How Short Interval Control boards work to deliver visual reviews
At the heart of the SIC process are on-going short reviews. Above all, these focus on the line and are carried out at regular intervals. For example, every couple of hours. Furthermore, each review lasts for only 10 minutes (or less).
Above all, the Short Interval Control board delivers a way to visually capture on-going results. In other words, what is learned from each of the daily series or reviews that underpin the SIC process.

How Short Interval Control boards work to provide structure
Each SIC review requires the undertaking of specific steps. In short:
- Firstly, review losses
- Secondly, assess actions
- Consequently, identify risks to performance
- In addition, decide next actions
- Finally, repeat at next short review
The SIC board works to provide a space to prompt the relevant steps. Likewise, to assess progress per review. In addition, to log what actions to take.

How Short Interval Control boards work to maximise production
The SIC board delivers the framework to the granular approach required. In other words, it visually supports the iterative process that forms SIC short. So, the regular review results are output on to the SIC board.
Most importantly, the team is constantly striving to optimise production throughout each and every shift. Above all, every iteration of this process is visible thanks to the SIC board.
Show your Short Interval Control status
So, track your progress and display real time updates with a choice of status indicators. Firstly, status indicator meters can show a numerical scale if you wish. Alternatively, choose to use dry wipe pens to update your SIC board. In addition, use red green status sliders or colour coded magnetic labels.
Status meters and status sliders provide an instant visual snapshot of progress

Further options and accessories
Board options
So show your visual display on any of these options. Firstly, a Frameless Board. Secondly, a Printed Whiteboard. Likewise, a Magnetic Overlay (covers any magnetic whiteboard). On the other hand, choose a Mobile Whiteboard (double sided options available). Finally, Handheld Whiteboard. In short, standard and custom sizes available. Furthermore, use indoors, outdoors or in wet production areas.
Accessories for your board
So all our board options work with our board accessories and status indicators. Above all, these add visual functionality. Therefore, accessories include a range of status indicators. Likewise, many magnetic options. For example, magnetic headers and magnetic labels. Furthermore, add document holders. In addition, T-cards and ticket systems. Most importantly, we custom make board accessories. As a result, we meet your needs.
Our Approach
We create visual management displays and boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional and visual board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
