Control Board (Individual Zones)

What Is Displayed in This Widget? #

This widget displays the progress of the execution of product orders within selected zones and the completion rate of a work instruction from each selected zone that is currently being worked on (in real-time) in comparison to each work instruction’s pre-determined time study.

If an operator’s work pace is on schedule, then the progress bar will remain green. However, whenever an operator takes more time to complete a work instruction than they’re supposed to, then the progress bar will turn orange.

That way, as an admin, you can easily monitor the progress of your operators’ work. Thus, whenever any operator is falling behind schedule, you will immediately know which employee is lagging behind and in which zone they’re working. As a result, you can take the necessary actions as soon as possible.

This widget is closely related to the Control Board (Grouped Zones) widget. Both widgets focus on the same thing, which is to monitor the progress of production in your plant compared to the production timeline that you’ve set using the time study feature.

However, this widget displays granular data – while the Control Board (Grouped Zones) widget shows you helicopter-view data.

Note: Make sure that every instruction step in the work instructions displayed on this widget has a time study. Otherwise, these work instructions will be labeled as invalid.

Here’s an explanation of what’s displayed on this widget:

1. The Station column displays the name of the zones that have been selected for display on this widget.
2. The Plan column shows the total number of product orders in each selected zone.
3. The Actual column shows the number of product orders that have been finished in each selected zone.
4. The Progress column shows the live progress of the work instruction on each selected zone currently being worked on by your operators. The black line on each chart represents the time study for each work instruction. If a work instruction’s progress is behind schedule (and the additional tolerance –  which we will discuss in the guide section below), then that work instruction’s progress bar will turn orange.
5. The Product order column shows the name of the product order that is currently being worked on in each selected zone.
6. The Work instruction column shows the name of the work instruction that is currently being worked on in each selected zone.

How to Deploy This Widget? #

Before you can deploy this widget, we must first set it up for you. If you’re interested in this widget, please contact us through our support@azumuta.com email.

After the widget has been set up, you can deploy it right away. Please follow the steps below to deploy this widget to a new dashboard. However, if you would like to deploy this widget to an existing dashboard, then you can navigate to that dashboard and start from step No.4 instead.

1. Click on “Dashboards” on the side panel.
2. Click on the plus icon under “Dashboards”.
3. Type in the new dashboard name.
4. Click on the yellow plus button on the bottom right of the screen.
5. Navigate to “Control board (individual zones)” under the “Product Orders” widget category, and click on “Create”.
6. Select the zone(s) that you would like to display in this widget.
7. Under “Default tolerance percentage”, Enter the time tolerance (as a percentage) for the given time study. For example, if the time study is 60 seconds and the tolerance percentage is set to 10%, that means that the time tolerance is 6 seconds. This means that the total allowed time in this widget for that particular work instruction is 66 seconds (60 seconds + 6 seconds). The widget’s bar will stay green for 66 seconds and turn orange as a warning once this time tolerance has been exceeded.
8. Click on “Add”.
9. Click on the date range (next to the widget name), and adjust the date range. Make sure that it covers the time period where the product orders were executed. Click on “Custom rolling range” for more date range options.
10. When you’re done, click on “Save”.
11. Click on “Yes”.
12. Adjust the widget’s size as desired.
