The role of production management boards

Increased transparency: Production management panels provide teams with real-time information to inform everyone about the state of the production process. This will help to eliminate information asymmetries and promote better communication and collaboration.

Optimization of production programmes: the panels show production plans, tasks and deadlines, making them clearer and easier to implement. Teams are kept abreast of what needs to be done next to meet client needs.

Reduction of stocks and waste: By monitoring stock levels in real time, production management panels can help teams to avoid excessive raw materials or product stocks and reduce costs and waste.

Quick identification issues: The panels can highlight problems in production, such as disruption, equipment failure or quality problems. This has helped teams to take prompt measures to reduce production disruptions.

Promoting improvement: The production management board could also include recommendations for improvement and encourage staff to propose and discuss ways of continuous improvement to improve productivity and quality.

The board is the intel on instructions.

This is the basic function of the board. This information is clearly indicated on the board of sight, as to what, how much, when and where to get and how to move. The number, time, method, sequence and time of removal, the object of removal, etc. are clear to the workers of the various processes. As a result, the plate is like a nerve on the production line, transmitting withdrawal and production instructions and controlling excess production and excess stocks. The board plays an important role in accelerating liquidity and reducing costs.

The board is a visual management tool.

Since the panels must at all times be moved with physical objects, they can control overproduction, indicate the sequence of production and simplify on-site management procedures. This insistence makes visual management possible. When the name of the spare parts, their production, the time and method of production, the place of delivery and the quantity are indicated on the board, this allows the persons at the production site to judge and deal with the problems independently and in a clear manner. At the same time, it provides managers with access to the production capacity of the process, inventory status and staffing, as well as improved management.

The board is a means of improving management.

In the case of the board, if a process equipment fails to produce a bad product, one of the rules of use of the trigger is that "no bad product can be sent to the post-process" and the post-process requirements are not met, resulting in a full-line stoppage, which can immediately expose the problem and prompt improvement measures can be taken to solve the problem. In this way, not only has the problem been solved, but the "physical" of the production line has also increased, resulting in productivity gains. The goal of the lean production method is to end up as a "zero stockpile", while the board provides a tool to move in this direction.

Production and transport instructions

Production and transport work instructions are the most basic function on board. The production instructions drawn up by the Production Management Department at the Company ' s headquarters, based on market forecasts and orders, only meet the total assembly line, and the production of pre-processes is based on board. Information on the quantity, time, destination, location, conveyance, etc. of production and delivery is recorded on the board, moving forward from assembly processTraceability The assembly line removes the board attached to the spare parts used for the previous process. The pre-processes produce only the amounts taken from these panels, and the “post-processes” and “time-appropriate production” are used to produce them.

Prevention of overproduction and overdelivery

The panels must be used in accordance with established rules of application. One of the rules is: “No production, no transport without board”. According to this rule, the processes are neither produced nor transported without a board; the number of panels is reduced accordingly. Since the panels indicate only the necessary quantities, they are used to automatically prevent overproduction and overdelivery.

Active warning and early warning

Workshop panels can help to avoid losses and disruptions and to improve the safety and stability of production by properly setting up monitoring standards and unusual warning mechanisms, detecting potential risks in a timely manner and providing early warning notices that are combined with data on the location of enterprises.
