Analysis Page Weekly Checks - Opportunity
The Analysis Page is designed as a “one stop shop” to identify opportunities for any specified date range. It is broken out into three separate views; Employee, Classification and Equipment. The below step-by-step instructions are designed to assist Production Supervisors in quickly identifying areas of opportunity within the facility. As a best practice, Supervisors should perform these steps daily, using the previous day’s data, as well as weekly with the previous week’s data.
Navigate to the Analysis Page
- Navigate to the Analysis Page by clicking on the “four-square” and then selecting “Analysis”.
Opportunity by Job Classification
- From the Analysis page, click on the “Classification” view.
- Choose your date range – “Yesterday” or “Last Week”
- Click on “Lost Hours” to sort these hours high to low
NOTE: A good approach is to focus only on your top 2-3 opportunities from last week.
Now that you have identified the job classifications with the most amount of opportunity, it is time to act on the data. Spend extra time in this area throughout the week and observe the process, in order to better understand what is causing these inefficiencies.
Opportunity by Employee
The next step in improving overall plant efficiency is by simply holding employees accountable to job standards. Once you have determined that there are no process/flow or equipment issues preventing employees from meeting standard, it is time to coach. Below are some quick ways in quickly identifying “low hanging fruit” by employee.
- From the Analysis page
- Ensure you have the appropriate date range selected
- Select the “Employee” view
- Click on “Opportunity” to sort high to low
- Focus on the top 3-5 employees with the highest amount of opportunity
Don’t forget to enter a Coaching Moment once you’ve spoken with the employee(s) with the most opportunity.
Excessive Time
A commonly overlooked area of opportunity is non-productive hours. Non-productive hours are hours spent in Break, Lunch, Meeting, or Other Area.
- From the Analysis page
- Set the view by “Employees”
- Click on the “Break” column to sort the times high to low
- Next, click on the Lunch column to sort the times high to low
Coach any employees that spent excessive time in Break or Lunch for the previous day/week.
Non-Standard Hours
Non-Standard Hours are hours that are spent in tasks that are not measured for a production efficiency.
- From the Analysis Page
- Click on the “Classification” view
- Uncheck the “Auto” and “Manual” filters by clicking on them and ensuring they are no longer highlighted
- Sort “Logged Hours” high to low by clicking on it
- Next, view non-standard hours by employee
- Click on the “Employee” view
- Uncheck the “Auto” and “Manual” filters by clicking on them and ensuring they are no longer highlighted
- Sort “Non-Standard” hours high to low by clicking on it
