Andon Scoreboard
Andon scoreboards have traditionally been a fairly basic and
quite expensive addition to your lean manufacturing program.
The data they display is usually fixed, with restricted headings,
and they limit you to a snapshot view of what’s currently
happening on your shop-floor—once the display changes, the
data is lost.
Gemba Solutions has addressed these issues, and provides a
fully flexible and user-configurable LCD display with a whole
host of additional features.
Offering a new alternative to outdated technology,
Gemba Solutions provides the missing piece in your
Lean Manufacturing jigsaw...
Andon Benefits
Flexible LCD Display...
With our user-friendly Andon Supervisor software , you
can easily configure your displays to show whatever
production data you think is relevant, ie. minutes of shift
elapsed; minutes required to reach daily target; minutes
behind target; TAKT time etc, and change the layout as
often as you like.
Enter your production requirements and the software will
quickly calculate TAKT times and a production plan for
your machines/lines that automatically takes account of
planned downtime (ie. breaks etc). A visual on-target
indicator will let you know how you stand against target
in real-time, and you can also view a profile of progress
throughout each shift.
Our standard LCD displays (all sizes available) are stock
items, which means you don’t spend a lot of time and
money getting customised boards designed, made and
delivered.
- You can program the display to show what ever data you like.
- You can change how the display looks whenever you like.
- Off-the-shelf delivery means no long waits for equipment to arrive.
It’s not just a snapshot...
Unlike a traditional Andon scoreboard, the data collected
by our Andon solution will be saved, and provide you
with an historical summary report showing shift and
daily/weekly performance, including TAKT times,
targets, actual production achieved, rejects, downtime,
etc.
You can drill down into this data to find out where your
problem areas and production bottlenecks lie, decide on
changes to your process and then check your summary
reports to ensure that your results have improved—no
data is ever lost.
Get rid of all your spreadsheets and the headache that
goes with trying to produce management reports each
month, and use this mechanism to quickly and easily
pull out what you need.
- All the data is available for review and analysis on a historical basis on your PC desktop
- Rapidly identify any problem areas in your process and take corrective action
- Provide management reporting quickly and easily
And when there’s a problem...
...wouldn’t it be useful if your production process could
automatically alert your staff to issues that need their
attention, and then escalate alerts to senior staff when
necessary? You can use our Andon solution to display
alerts via your Andon scoreboard, as well as by other
mechanisms including email, text message, pager, etc.
With our Andon Supervisor software, you can create
multi-step processes that allow your staff to react to
situations as they occur. Alerts can also be triggered automatically by an aspect
of your production process:
- A maintenance engineer is required
- Material is required to restock your Kanban system
- Your efficiency level has fallen below a given target
- Your defect level has risen above a given threshold
- A machine has broken down
- A temperature/pressure/torque reading is out of tolerance
- Display messages and alerts on the Scoreboard
- Automatically escalate problems to senior staff via email, text, pager etc
- Automatically trigger alerts based on any aspect of your production process
Go wireless...
Our flexible Andon
solution offers a variety
of ways to get data to
your scoreboard. Our
standard data collection
terminals (Ethernet or
wireless) can be
installed at machine
level and will pull data
from your production
process directly into our
Andon Supervisor
software. Alternatively, we can provide you with WiFi
button boxes that require no installation or cabling, can
be positioned and moved wherever and whenever you
like and provide a mechanism for an operator to call for
help, flag a problem etc. Don’t let your Andon system
fall in to disuse just because you need to move a few
machines around—move the button boxes too.
- Put button boxes anywhere without worrying about all the wires
- Move button boxes around as much as you like
- Supervisors can move around the shop floor and take a button box with them
- No need to wait ages for an electrician to come and install things
- Minimal cabling means minimal cost to install
