'Increasing Performance Significantly...'

Value Stream Technology application suite 'Visual Manufacturing Operations™' in combination with 'Total Performance Management' enables responsible personnel, line and plant management to see instantly, what other manufacturing facilities may see after hours, the next day or even days later, and after time consuming consolidation of shop floor information.

Taking immediate action instead of analyzing what was going wrong some time ago. The secret of high performance is: being faster than others.

Simple ‘point & click’ based functionality provides immediate information flow of manufacturing performance and any kind of shop floor issue. Potential or actual machine down times, material shortages, tool issues, or personnel issues, through-put deviations. All this is captured automatically via Programmable Logic Controllers or simple and fast with point & click front-ends in CellFusion’s Visual Factory.

From here information just flows... simple and fast responsible personnel and management can react...

The maintenance department can actively monitor all equipment, machines and tools in the entire plant, and dispatch repair personnel immediately when shop floor personnel identified machine or equipment issues. The management can monitor any issue and downtime escalated to them automatically with Performance Escalation Management ™.

The logistics department immediately receives information about any logistics or material issue, potential or actual material shortage, and is prepared to act, before the work stops. Kanban Flex Monitoring™ provides information about critical deviations in all running supply activities.

Resource issues, breaks, expected or unexpected are captured and available. A fully integrated Escalation & Action Management™ allows the responsible personnel and management to reduce unproductive time drastically. Supervisors can observe all types of potential and actual issues. Always one step ahead.

Due to interactive functionality and information flow line managers and plant directors can view all unexpected deviations in productivity & efficiency instantly using Pro-active Performance Monitoring™. The application monitors all activities, issues, and key performance indicators on the shop floor from actual Through-put versus planned, Performance Efficiency, Equipment Availability, Quality Rates, Material Availability, to Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE), and displays this information real-time.

Integrated constraints provide color-coded alerts in case deviations are higher than expected (Early Warning). Graphs simplify and show the development of key performance parameters during the day.
