Problem-Solving Materials: Improving Operating Rate Part 4 | Issues of "Visualization"

What are the challenges of visualizing equipment operation status? A document for discovering and solving issues in the production site.

This document is a series that proposes solutions to various challenges faced by production sites, focusing on the theme of "improving operational efficiency," from identifying issues to finding solutions. In Volume 4, we will introduce the use of "visualization" and its challenges, with a focus on improving operational efficiency. [Document Overview] "Visualization" of equipment operating status is gaining attention as an effective means to improve operational efficiency and productivity. Among the many systems available for acquiring operational information, a widely adopted system utilizes signals to signal towers. This allows for tracking operational performance such as during operation, downtime, and alarm status. To effectively utilize this operational information, it is important not only to understand the current situation but also to identify appropriate challenges. Therefore, this document organizes the factors contributing to the decline in operational efficiency and productivity into two elements. We will discuss what aspects should be improved in various operational statuses, such as during operation and downtime. Additionally, we will explain the challenges faced by the current "visualization" systems in improving these aspects. *You can download the document using the button below.
