Leading on the Shopfloor with Schertech
You know the situation: meetings drag on, information is incomplete, and feedback from other departments on completed tasks is missing. What’s lacking is a clear system.
Schertech’s Shopfloor Management is more than just a digital tool – it is an effective leadership instrument. It embeds Lean principles into daily routines, creates transparency, empowers teams with self-responsibility, and ensures continuous, data-driven improvement of operational performance.
During daily production meetings or shift handovers, you need reliable information about disruptions, key metrics, or customer deliveries. The digital shopfloor board provides all this in real time, allowing you to discuss topics in a focused and efficient way.
In meetings, the focus should not be on “What happened?” but rather on “What actions were taken?”
- Workplace Safety: Accidents, near-misses, safety measures
- Productivity: OEE, cycle times, setup times
- Quality: Scrap rates, rework, root causes of defects
- Logistics: On-time delivery, material availability
- Personnel: Attendance, qualifications, downtime
A special focus is placed on recording and analyzing machine downtimes. These are classified (e.g., technical faults, material shortages), evaluated in terms of frequency and duration, and linked to concrete actions. This enables the identification and sustainable elimination of systematic causes.
CIP:During meetings, the status of open actions is reviewed: What has been completed, what is delayed, and what needs to be escalated? Actions are digitally recorded, prioritized, and assigned to responsible persons. Progress is immediately visible through traffic light status indicators (green/yellow/red).
Capturing and evaluating improvement ideas: Recording and evaluating improvement suggestions: Employee improvement ideas are captured directly at the workstations. Appropriate actions can be defined and tracked precisely. Key performance indicators reflecting the effectiveness of the improvement process are visualized right on the shopfloor.
Of course, some further explanations are needed. We can go deeper into this in a presentation!
