Description

The Andon Tool is a web-based application designed to enhance communication and workflow for manufacturing teams on the shop floor. Employees can easily submit requests for production support using any device with browser capabilities, which then show up on live boards within their departments; these requests can be claimed by designated responders, while also maintaining a record of their status, responses, and completion history. Supervisors have the ability to monitor request activities through detailed reports covering various plants, departments, and work areas. In addition, the platform features production schedule boards that illustrate employee rotations and job templates, daily KPI boards for tracking performance with a green/yellow/red system, TV dashboards, and comprehensive downtime logs that categorize waste and provide Pareto analysis. There are also optional paid features available, such as Skill Matrix tools that help manage certifications and work instructions, while the Continuous Improvement Board (C.I.B.) supports methodologies for ongoing improvement, including techniques like the 5 Whys, fishbone diagrams, PDCA, and A3 reporting. This versatile tool is tailored for a wide range of users in the manufacturing sector, including production-floor operators, responders, supervisors, plant managers, and teams focused on continuous improvement initiatives, ensuring that all stakeholders can effectively collaborate and optimize workflows. Overall, the Andon Tool empowers organizations to streamline their operations and improve overall productivity.

Description

Introducing an exceptionally effective and adaptable electronic planning board tailored for your web browser, the EPB provides a visual representation of your active scheduled tasks. Each job is illustrated as a bar, accurately scaled to reflect the remaining hours of the process, while further categorizing the loading into setup time, runtime, and cleanup time, referred to as activities. These activities are color-coded and displayed at the bottom of each bar for easy identification. The main section of the bar indicates the current status of the process, represented by its corresponding color and the chosen fields for the bar's content. In addition to the process bars, the EPB features down-bars, which indicate periods when resources are unavailable for production. You can generate down-bars for resources using downtime Proformas, and if Labor Tracking is implemented, dynamic down-bars are automatically generated based on labor force shift patterns. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of scheduling and resource management are efficiently handled, providing users with enhanced clarity and control over their operational timelines.
