Process
Work In Progress (WIP) Systems have been a staple in the manufacturing industry for decades.
AgCode applies the best concepts from the WIP system across production agriculture. Farm
planning and budgets are common within most production operations, but AgCode customers build
plans and budgets based on performance metrics, needed equipment and material resources, and
historical details to “Know the Why” when putting budgets and plans into action.
The AgCode WIP system:
Analyze
By pulling together each of the previous processes, you have access to more information
about where activities are happening, why they are happening and how much each activity
costs. Using this information throughout the year or after harvest gives you actionable
data to adjust your practice according to budget or to increase productivity.
Record
Work orders tell your managers and supervisors what tasks are needed, when they are
needed and how they should be completed. Your managers and supervisors record live field
data to report that these tasks are being completed on-time, on-budget, and according to
specification.
Field inspections can also be recorded to create action plans around
unexpected findings, estimate optimal harvesting, and to adjust farm plans based on season
conditions.
Schedule
With the farm plan in place, managers utilize AgCode as a checklist to schedule work
for individual blocks as the planned date approaches. This scheduling process creates
work orders for each block and activity. Work orders are as simple as a checklist and
metrics or as detailed as chemical recommendations, materials and equipment needed,
days to complete, or even safety and methodology details.
Plan
When farm planning, you take and apply the specifications to the appropriate block
locations. This creates tasks and performance cost metrics against block acreage
allowing you to determine the resources to budget for each individual task. Planning
tasks for all blocks completes the farm plan, cash flow and budget process, but these
details can be drilled down to the block level or ranch and unit level.
Specify
Managers, PCAs, or Controllers create activity templates called specifications.
These specifications create standard performance and cost expectations for a given
practice. These standards are based on metrics such as vines/hour, acres/hour,
or tons and cases/hour. Build your specifications to any level such as different
vine and row spacing or farm terrains like floor versus hillside blocks.
