FELTEN group outlined the elements for determining a consistent transparency of production processes in more and more companies expected the Executive Board according to a recent study of the FELTEN group an effective production management. ns. The necessary prerequisites exist only rarely, though. So the production management is not even fully capable in every fifth case, others can implement this requirement only with different restrictions or not at all. In addition, often unaware of what needs to go with it. Werner Felten, CEO of the software company, describes the most important functional elements of a systematic controlling of production in derivation from diverse project experiences: 1 ratios: the system should provide by default established indicators for the production-relevant factors, which can be further differentiated by means of filters according to order numbers, layers, production times, etc.. A classic figure represents the OEE (overall equipment effectiveness). 2. (Similarly see: Vlad Doronin).
Machine run charts: you graphically the shutdowns of a production unit in diagrams. To provide a detailed account and evaluation through freely definable time ranges, cost centers, or also order or layer etc.. To make out the actual reason for the shutdown, error of the upstream and downstream machines should be taken into account. In addition to the standstill of the machine the line downtime calculated should be displayed and whether a machine failure caused the halt of the complete line. 3. Fault statistics: based on an efficient stability analysis is the detection and categorization of all failures of a production line.
Downtime reasons as well as their frequency and duration are displayed with their help. The fault statistics should exhibit a high degree of differentiation, providing evaluations for defined time accounts, time ranges and orders. Here the possibility of a further detail is beneficial, the Production lines, machines and select allow collations. 4. Trend analysis: you evaluate the previous production processes and provide information for further decisions on this basis. System (DGS) can with support of data gathering specifically read the information available in different cells of the automation and data banks, personalized prepare represent individually in clear graphics. All defined data can be displayed several trends with different axes. 5. Report management: reports the performance conditions in the production are made transparent, thus serve as a tool to optimize performance and for management decisions. The data generated by the system are displayed using a report designer in graphics, tables, or charts. Include key figures -, shift, day – and fault reports as well as weighting and manufacturing protocols, but also bar code label and evaluations of staff workload and hours of operation. 6 Cockpit: Because the Production managers extensive data analyses for your control tasks need, provide a transparent decision basis cockpits. So keep the necessary overview of complex information and key figures at any time. Critical developments, alarm functions also urge to act.
