eSFM: Digital Shopfloor Management Flashcards
What are the effects of digitalization?
- Real-time data allows quick response
- Less effort for capturing, processing & visualization of data
- Increase of data availability from processes
- Increase of data quality due to minor failure risk
The effects of digitalization results in what?
Effectiveness
- Increased transparency about processes
- Decisions are based on precise facts & figures
- Digital data is available for prediction based on AI
Efficiency
-Less manpower demanded for data processing, documentation and follow up
What are the benefits of eSFM in the problem-solving process?
Creating Visibility:
increase of the real time level
Creating Transparency:
increase of the real time level
Implementation of prognosis & autonomy
What are consequences of digital Shopfloor Management?
- Increase of data quality due to minor failure risk
- Increase of data availability from processes
- Real-time data allows quick response
- Less effort for capturing, processing & visualization of data
What are types of latency in the digital problem-solving process?
- data latency
- analysis latency
- decision latency
- implementation latency
What is the preparation characteristic of SFM?
Before the SFM Meetings a preparation process is conducted to create the
KPIs and to summarize the problem that occurred in the considered “reporting“ period.
What are the major steps for the SFM preparation process?
Major process steps
- Recording of data
- Processing of data, e.g. framing KPIs
- Visualization of data
How do you evaluate the preparation process?
Evaluation of the process
- Analogue: manually on paper based on observations & discussions
- Digital: manual execution based on digital data, e.g. in Excel
- Automatic: data will be recorded, processed & visualized automatically
What is the purpose of SFM meetings?
Current SFM Meetings are mainly running on manually transferred KPIs & prioritized problems (paper or excel list) gathered from the Preparation Process
- Escalation into the next higher cascade is done manually, mostly verbally
- Documentation of follow up and tracking is executed mostly manually
What are the characterizations of current SFM processes to identify potentials?
Preparation Process
SFM Meetings
Problem Solving
What are the major SFM process steps?
Major process steps
- Check deviations in the fields of SQDCE & additional KPIs
- Define counter measures
- Check progress on problem solving; escalate if support is required
How do you evaluate SFM meetings?
Evaluation of the process
- Visualization*: answer to what happened is given
- Transparency*: answer to why it happened is given
- Prognoses*: answer to the question what will happen is given
- Autonomy: the system derives & executes measures *based on analogue and digital data
What is problem solving in SFM?
The documentation of problem solving processes is conducted on paper-base
with manual date tracking
What are the major process steps of problem solving?
Major process steps
1. Following problem-solving according to PDCA / A3 Problemsolving process
- Derive & implement preventive measures based on prognoses A3 Problem-solving
How do you evaluate problem solving?
Evaluation of the process
The process can be evaluated based on the supported data:
• on premises analogue: Problemsolving process is documented and tracked on paper-base
- anywhere digital: documentation & tracking in document-based systems, e.g. Excel, One Note
- Integrated digital system (MES): access for every stakeholder – link to affected KPI’s is given *based on analogue and digital data
