In Shop Floor Management, it is crucial to respond quickly and effectively to unexpected events in the production and logistics environment. Whether it’s machine downtime, delivery delays, or tolerance limit violations – ensuring smooth processes requires immediate and effective action.

The challenge lies in detecting events early, systematically recording them, and continuously evaluating their impact. Only by doing so can appropriate measures be initiated in a timely manner. A transparent, intuitive overview of all incidents and their processing is essential for quick reactions, identifying root causes, and implementing lasting improvements.

Visual Shop Floor provides a dedicated event mechanism that enables structured event capture and documentation. Events can either be recorded manually in the system or automatically derived from existing data based on predefined rules and algorithms.

Documenting an event not only serves as a valuable source of information but also forms the basis for targeted actions that need to be taken in response. Once established, event-driven actions become a reliable support in daily operations and actively contribute to continuous process improvement and optimization.

By systematically analyzing event frequencies and root causes, Visual Shop Floor creates a solid foundation for an effective continuous improvement process (CIP). This helps companies optimize their processes sustainably and enhance efficiency in the long run.
