Put a number on what
disorder is costing you

Hunting for a tool, reworking a part, stretching a changeover: you pay for it every day, and nobody counts it.
This software counts it — then proves it has gone down.

No card required · unlimited zones and users during the trial.
Then CHF 49 per month, per company — up to 50 users, unlimited zones.

Audits. A score out of 25 per zone, the weakest axis highlighted, the history of every workstation.
The action plan. Every gap becomes an action, with an owner, a due date and its origin.
The morning huddle. How each zone is evolving, readable on the workshop wall.

Figures from the demo workshop — fictitious data, seeded to show the software.

Three minutes per person, per day

That's what an untidy workstation costs. Enter your own figures — the maths does itself.

0 hours / year
0 CHF / year
Over 220 working days. It's the amount that appears on no invoice.

Assumptions: people × minutes lost × hourly cost × 220 working days. An estimate of your exposure, from your own figures — not a measured gain, and not a promise.

The price

49CHF

CHF 49 per month, per company. Up to 50 users, unlimited zones.

Excluding VAT. No commitment: cancel whenever you like, the subscription ends with the month already paid. After the 30-day trial nothing is charged: you choose to continue, otherwise the workshop becomes read-only.

Certification and auditor visit: separate, at the price stated before ordering. Shop equipment is paid on order.

Three numbers you never mix up

A 5S is told in points, in money and in results. They are not the same thing — and the software never converts one into the other.

Measured

The organisation score

From 0 to 25, per zone, at every audit. It says whether the workstation is kept — not what it earns.

Estimated

Your exposure in money

The calculator above, with your figures and its assumptions shown. An estimate, not an invoice.

Observed

The real gains

Search time, scrap, changeover duration: you record them yourself, before and after. No 5S point is ever turned into a saving.

Four losses, and not one of them measured

5S isn't about looking tidy. It goes after four losses you can count — and the software hands you the counter.

What costs youWhat the software does with itWhat you read
Searching Marked locations, audited criterion, dated action The criterion "every item has an identified place" goes from 0 to 2 — and you can see when.
Reworking Red bin, identified scrap, knock-out criterion Unidentified scrap caps the audit at 12/25, however clean the rest may be.
Changeovers Posted standard, shadow board for tools Set-up time stops depending on who is standing at the machine.
Getting hurt Clear access routes, ISO 7010 signage A blocked walkway caps the score: the software refuses to mark it green.

The proof is two numbers

5S gets talked about everywhere. Here it gets measured: a score at the start, a score at the end, and the gap. Without both, nothing happened.

One audit

Twenty criteria, four per axis, one photo. Standing, at the workstation, without going back to the office.

Before it counts

The 5th S is not ticked on the same day. The software refuses the diploma if fewer than thirty days separate the first step from the last.

0

Green out of politeness

A zone nobody has audited stays grey and says so. A board that is green only because nobody filled it in is a lie readable from four metres away.

Three refusals that make the difference

  • The software refuses to award a diploma if the final audit is no better than the first. Five ticked boxes with no progress is not a project.
  • It refuses to count a missing measurement as a zero. A criterion that cannot be judged drops out of the calculation. Punish an auditor for being honest and you get grids filled in at random.
  • It refuses to mark a dangerous workshop green. Blocked walkway, unidentified scrap, untreated leak: any one of them caps the score.

Certification is what your customers look at

A client does not visit your workshop. They look at a document — and they want to be able to check it.

Diploma

Internal. It requires a lead, two team members, all five steps and measured progress. The server checks, and refuses with a reason.

Certification on file

We check the starting score, the progress and that it held for thirty days. The certificate arrives by e-mail, with a link you can pass on.

Certification with a site visit — OPTIONAL

An approved auditor comes out and decides on site. It is not compulsory : certification on file stands on its own. The visit is the higher tier, and the document says so in plain words.

Every document carries a reference. Anyone can check it: verify a document. Valid twelve months, renewable through a maintenance audit — a lifetime certification only ever attests to a single day.

Once certified, you are in the network

Certification does not stop at the document. It brings you into a network of workshops that work with the same grid — and recognise each other. The network starts with the first certified workshops.

You can be found

The public directory of certified workshops opens with the first certificates: name, town, trade, date. A buyer looking for a serious subcontractor will find you there.

↔

You speak the same grid

A certified customer, supplier or peer speaks your language: same criteria, same evidence, same grid.

★

You can audit

Your certified lead may be mandated by MECAFLOW to audit other companies. They join the auditor network — and what they learn elsewhere, they bring back to you.

That is the loop: certified workshops train the auditors, the auditors certify further workshops. Nobody sells an audit to a workshop they do not understand.

Order the equipment straight from the finding

A criterion at zero, one button, a quote. No catalogue to wade through.

169

ISO 7010 signs

Standardised signage, the same as in every plant across Europe. Size is chosen by reading distance, not by the space available.

Marking and storage

Tape, shadow outlines, red bins, mats, furniture. You build the list in the software and receive a priced quote.

Browse the shop — no account needed

Getting started takes one morning

No project, no consultant. Three steps, in order.

Open your workshop

A name, a first zone, your e-mail. With your Google or Microsoft account if you prefer. One minute.

Audit that zone, standing, at the workstation

Twenty criteria, one photo, a few minutes. You get a starting score — your point zero.

Fix the first gap

The criterion at zero becomes an action with an owner and a date. The next audit will tell whether it held.

Support

A person, not a bot: contact@mecaflow.ch. Reply within one working day. No sales follow-up.

Your data

Encrypted in transit (TLS), hosted at Cloudflare, continuous backup with point-in-time restore. At the end of the trial the account becomes read-only — nothing is deleted without your consent.

Start with the lowest-scoring zone

That's where the gain is biggest — and it's the first thing the software will tell you.
