Strengthened Decision-Making Based on Real-Time Information

A Lean Execution™ implementation supplies key personnel the decision-making data necessary to optimize manufacturing performance. From any location, the technology will allow managers to make immediate decisions on staffing, maximize labor efficiencies, control order fulfillment and monitor machine utilization. Real-time performance reports such as actual versus plan, production unit cycle time, production efficiency, scrap and downtime by machine or work cell can all be specifically configured for up-to-the-second review and action by management.
When unexpected events do occur, Lean Execution™ also helps managers and lead operators take proactive steps by utilizing your customized set of alerts and alarms. Using workflow notification key individuals are notified about potential issues—before they become costly problems. Manufacturing execution solutions do not stop after notifying operators of unexpected events. This type of system pairs event notification with appropriate workflow so operators take suitable resolution steps in real time without affecting operations.

Production order status and work in process are readily accessible via standard JDE Video Screens. This can also empower managers and other decision-makers to communicate information electronically to customers and other manufacturing locations. Ease of information access also smoothes the daily transition between shift managers and provides updated statistics on key performance indicators (KPI), wellness views and other important reports.
