Production assistance request and reporting system
Quick reactions reduces production waiting times by up to 20%
Variations and deviations in production are part of the everyday working life at a production facility. Disturbances challenge business goals in terms of quality, quantity, and delivery times.
When a disturbance occurs, quick communications can significantly reduce production waiting times. That is why a method is needed for exceptional situations which creates a clear process for the processing of production disturbances and assistance requests.
Typical characteristics of production disturbances:
Long waiting times that affect all of production
The operating procedure for the problem-solving process is unclear, roles and responsibilities are not determined
The management of production requests is confusing and time-consuming, and no measurable data is collected on them
