All printers regardless of size or location have a requirement for a manual production board system. They need to constantly monitor the ever-changing workload of individual presses, highlight spare capacity, display slippage, spot production bottlenecks and prioritize orders, thereby maximizing their technology investment and minimizing machine downtime. While computerized systems provide a limited view of any schedule, constant scrolling or resorting to instantly outdated printouts are no use to the busy production manager who requires a complete and up-to-date overview of the rapidly changing schedule. Enter Eurocharts.
The magnetic Eurocharts Production Display Board System provides a professional planning tool to replace the homemade manual systems common to printers worldwide. Used as a stand-alone unit or alongside software systems, they provide a fully extendable one or two week production overview. Here is the first “live” production planning system that actually works. Check out these features:
- Magnetic boards provide the “big picture”, enabling the full production schedule to be viewed at a glance
- Changing workloads, spare capacity, bottlenecks and rush jobs can be highlighted to minimize downtime
- Job details are written on reusable,
write-on & wipe-off magnetic job plates
- Ribbed plates lock securely to board to prevent slippage
- Rotating or fixed panels adapt the boards to individual production schedules
- Individual systems suitable for shops with up to 40 machines
- Available wall mounted or free standing on a rolling base

Here’s What They Said at PRINT ‘05
Virtually everyone who stopped to look at the Eurocharts System had the same comments:
- We use a homemade board, but it is not as organized as this.
- We made our own board, but it is not as easy to use.
- Our production schedule is on computer, but you can’t see the whole spreadsheet at once and it is changing so frequently that it is always obsolete.
- I have tried to keep all the production information in my head. No one else can see it and I often forget a lot of important information.
- I needed this system a long time ago. How and where do I get one?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A. The magnetic strips may be written upon with a wipe-off marker provided with the initial kit. The T-Cards may be handwritten or imaged by a printer/photocopier. Also, a label machine (several choices available at office supply stores, some that interface with your computer) may be utilized for either system.
Q. Are replacement supplies readily available?
A. We will be maintaining an inventory of the magnetic strips in assorted colors and sizes, T-Cards in assorted colors and sizes and the wipe-off markers in sets of assorted colors.
Q. Where do I buy the Production Planning Boards and replacement supplies?
A. Both board systems and supplies can be ordered right here at FlexoDepot.com.
Q. What if the boards are not big enough for my requirements?

How to Use
The Eurochart magnetic system is made up of a metal planning board that uses magnetic text plates that lock securely onto the ribbed, panel surface. Reusable, write on/wipe off text plates snap to length indicating a project’s planned start and finish time. If there is a change to your schedule, simply slide the project plate along the planning line or remove and reschedule.
This system is versatile and can be used as a one week, two week, monthly or even a yearly schedule and is also expandable in any of those modes. No matter how you configure your schedule system it provides you with a complete schedule at a glance and is updated in seconds simply by rotating the modular panels or moving the appropriate text plates.
After assembling the base production planning board, simply slide in the seven (7) rotating panels along the rails of the baseboard. The baseboard rails are mounted on the wall with molly screws or can be displayed using a rolling Mobile Floor Stand. To produce the specific index items and scheduling items you can hand-write onto the reusable text plates or use an optional electronic labeling machine with clear removable adhesive tape.
