Digital Shop Floor Management
Archimedes, Leonardo, Galileo, Liebig, Bell, Benz, Edison – in the West, people like to tell the history of technological progress as the story of individual geniuses and their brilliant inventions. However, anyone who reads deeper into the history of humanity soon realizes that this isn’t the way things work. Cooperation is the mother of progress. People are made to work together. Even the construction of Noah’s ark required teamwork, as the safe landing of the rover Perseverance on Mars in February 2021 certainly did. As does everyday work in production.
The history of productive cooperation is also the history of technologies that people use to successfully organize collaboration. The people who built the Tower of Babel were successful as long as they had a common language. So, it’s no wonder that not just the construction of towers was invented in ancient Mesopotamia,but also writing and numbers. For people who record experiences and procedures and can pass these along have a clear advantage when it comes to planning and executing complex processes.
ValueStreamer lifts classic Shop Floor Management to an entirely new level of collaboration: global, across teams and and business sectors, always up-to-date, and without friction losses.
Identify and solve problems more quickly
This is where ValueStreamer’s digital Shop Floor Management begins: everything that has previously been recorded and documented in analog fashion is recorded digitally – and can therefore be searched and analyzed. But this web-based software solution can do still more: thanks to digitalization, the individual shop floors can be networked with one another, even across different locations, and incorporated into the usual global ERP and management systems. This way, the data and information that they need to control the productivity and quality of their processes is available directly to the people responsible for the line. The software also represents the single point of truth for all participants. Globally distributed teams and teams working across disciplines can also collaborate in real time without a loss of information and without unstructured floods of emails and messages. The training phase for digital Shop Floor Management is short, even for newbies. The user interfaces are optimized for intuitive use. Depending on their defined role, each team member has access to precisely the processes and data that they need in order to perform tasks independently.
