What it does
- 01
Value stream map
Cycle times and status come from MES. Takt comes from shifts and APS demand, or a manual entry. Bottlenecks are marked.
- 02
OEE loss waterfall
Each loss row is labelled MES measurement, estimate or no data.
- 03
CI portfolio
All problems and projects in one list. Size sets the tool: Just Do It, 5 Why, A3, DMAIC or DMADV.
Where the data comes from
- MES: lines, stations, routings, station status and downtime. APS: daily demand from the approved MPS.
- GEMBA and QMS: shared screens for kaizen, A3, 5S, LPA, 5 Why and Ishikawa.
- People: shifts, employees and skills. Course content and test questions are entered by hand.
Good to know
- LMS means Lean Management System, not Learning Management System.
- Training is administered here and taken outside the module. There is no course player or SCORM support.
- LMS does not calculate OEE. It shows the losses MES has calculated.
