Functional areas

Shop floormanagement

The quality of shop floor management is measured primarily by the timeliness of shop floor deliveries and the level of quality achieved. Monitoring only efficiency and occupancy rates is no longer enough to remain a competitive plant, and can even lead to side effects: overstocking, failure to respect delivery priorities, and increased scrap. Accurate monitoring of the progress of operations in start/finish mode makes it possible to measure real time and to know the real time status of machines and teams. Volume, Punctuality, Quality and WIP indicators allow for balanced decision making. The connection to the machines provides vital data accuracy to speed up decision making. By calculating actual capacity, Smartprod allows you to visualize your production flow in terms of actual throughput and identify your bottlenecks in real time. A simulation tool shows you the impact of these bottlenecks in terms of completed production and work-in-progress. Ease of adoption is a must: data entry is simplified to reduce administrative tasks. Data is customized according to the context of each user (according to his last activities, his qualifications, his workshop…).

Work-in-process management

We give you the means to improve your throughput times and chase dormant work-in-process. Work-in-process is located and quantified in parts and working hours. WIP inventory is more accurate than in ERP and operators no longer waste time searching for parts. The movement of high-value parts can be tracked. Queues are prioritised to maximise overall plant punctuality. Rework is managedin the application without having to add to the ERP routings, while tracking rework times back to the ERP. The scrapping of parts is also tracked in the application until they leave the company, which an ERP does not generally allow. Traceability of batches and serial numbers is ensured at the operation level, which complements the traceability that ERP only ensures at the stock level. The operator can match each serial number with its components managed in batch or serial number. This ensures complete multi-level traceability. The operator can send his workshop manager for validation of component exchange requests in a completely digital way. This represents a significant time saving and a better follow-up of component quality problems.

Collaborative management

In the event of a production shutdown, alerts are sent to members of the production support teams. The process of handling alerts is managed from start to finish in the application to provide greater responsiveness and transparency between departments

The Methods department will also be able to use the application to plan its work preparation actions. It will also use the actual data to improve the accuracy of standard times or review operating procedures. It can create inspection plans that allow operators to enter quantitative and qualitative controls and the tools used.

The Quality department will be involved in the management of the batches to be reworked. After analysis, the choice of the rework operation will be confirmed in the application by the quality engineer. The scrap, rework and rework success rates can be more finely analyzed with the data collected by the application than with the ERP.

Between shop floor managers, short-term scheduling can also be more collaborative because the status of work in progress is visible to all workshop managers. By managing the order of operations, each workshop is synchronized with the others to produce the parts expected by the market.

Team Leadership

The team leader can allocate critical operations to machines and operations taking into account priorities, his team’s skill matrix and current work in progress. This fine-tuned planning of individual resources takes into account the actual available capacity of each resource (absence, maintenance, shift schedules, etc.).

The reporting tasks of shop floor managers are greatly reduced by the availability of ready-to-use indicators. Team meetings are facilitated by the relevance of these indicators, allowing immediate actions to be identified more quickly.
