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

Just Plan It focuses on production scheduling tailored for high-mix, low-volume make-to-order environments. Through collaboration with numerous shops, we have discerned the key factors that contribute to their success. Despite effectively operating an ERP system, CIOvita conducted its production scheduling using custom Excel spreadsheets, which proved inadequate as the company expanded. This method resulted in significant drawbacks, including a lack of visibility and diminished agility. The environment became one of constant change and crisis management. Prior to adopting Just Plan It, Loynds depended on spreadsheets, paper lists, and extensive deliberation to determine delivery timelines and keep their engineering team informed with current work lists, as noted by Richard Loynds, the Managing Director at Loynds. The primary challenge stemmed from the absence of clarity regarding the shop floor's actual activities, compounded by swiftly evolving processes. This lack of visibility frequently led to missed delivery promises, jeopardizing customer relationships and trust. Ultimately, the transition to Just Plan It has provided the clarity and efficiency needed to improve operations significantly.
