The Produce Plus module allows enterprise
management monitoring, controlling and evaluating company production
performance in detail.
A quick
overview of the current status of a business is provided by the traffic
light colours Red, Amber and Green
and by viewing various indicator graphs.
Produce
Plus' six major traffic light indicators make it possible to compare
current results with previously defined targets.
Production performance navigation is supported by
measuring the following indicators:
The indicator for the Production
section is a reflection of Work Rate Variances. The Standard Work Rate
can either be based upon the MEU (Maximum Effective Utilisation), as
used in OEE (Overall Effective Efficiency) methods, or upon the EP
(Expected Performance), as used in standard industrial engineering
methods. The screen is split into four sections:
·The data list displayed on the
screen shows a summary of production data that has been entered for
selected periods.
·Work Rate Variance Graph - When the
user selects a Product or Line from the data list, this bar chart
displays the work rate variances for each period. The graph also
displays the upper and lower limits of the acceptable range that the
user has defined, so it is possible to see where each period's value
lies in comparison to the range.
·The two other graphs reflect
Production Quantity and Production Time
2. QUALITY
The indicator for the Quality section is a reflection of
Right First Time expressed as a percentage of total production. The
screen is split into four sections:
·The data list displayed on the
screen shows a summary of the production data that has been entered for
the selected periods.
·Right First Time Graph - When the
user selects a Product or Line from the data list, this bar chart
displays the right first time percentage for each period. The user can
select to display the percentage for each single period, or the
accumulated percentage. The graph also displays the upper and lower
limits of the acceptable range.
·The other two graphs in this section
represent Not Right First Time and Total Production.
3. OVERALL
EFFECTIVE EFFICIENCY - OEE
The indicator for the OEE section is a percentage value
for the Overall Effective Efficiency (also known as Overall Equipment
Effectiveness) of all products or lines. Three aspects are looked at,
Availability, Performance and Quality. The screen is split into four
sections:
·The data list displayed on the
screen shows a summary of the OEE components that have been calculated
for the selected periods
·OEE Graph - When the user selects a
Product or Line from the data list, this bar chart displays the OEE
percentage for each period. The graph also displays the upper and lower
limits of the acceptable range.
·The two other graphs show
Availability and Performance.
4. EFFICIENCY
/ PERFORMANCE
The
indicator for the Efficiency and Performance section is a percentage value
for the Effective Line Performance of all products or lines. Three aspects
are examined, Line Utilisation, Line Running Efficiency, and Effective Line
Performance. The screen is split into four sections:
·The data list displayed on the screen is
a summary of Efficiency and Performance components that were calculated for
the selected periods.
·Effective Line Performance Graph - When
the user selects a Product or Line from the data list, this bar chart
displays the ELP percentage for each period. The graph displays the upper
and lower limits of the acceptable range
·Two other graphs are shown which reflect
Line Utilisation and Line Running Efficiency.
5. COSTS
The
indicator for the Costs section is the variance of Actual costs for
Labour, Raw Materials and Packaging, from the Standard costs. These
values can only be displayed by period as actual quantity and costs are
documented against a period not against a Product and period as with the
other calculations. The screen is split into four sections:
·Total Cost of Production Graph -
This graph display the data for all periods, not just the one selected
from the data list.
·The chart shows the actual costs of
production, split into the three areas, labour, raw materials and
packaging, which are stacked to give a total cost of production. This
graph also shows the upper and lower targets.
·Labour and Material Costs are shown
in the other two graphs.
6. LABOUR
PERFORMANCE
This section displays the standard labour hours recovered
based on good production (inc. rework) and standard labour hours
calculated against each SCC (Labour compliment). The indicator for the
Labour Performance section is the variance between the Standard Labour
Hours recovered and the actual hours paid. The information in this
section is not specific to any line or product and is displayed only
against a period. The screen is split into four sections:
·The data list shows the SLH
recovered, the actual hours paid and the calculated Labour Performance,
for each period.
·Labour Performance Graph - The
calculated Labour Performance figure is plotted against each period.
This graph shows the upper and lower target ranges.
·Two other graphs in this section
reflect Actual Labour Hours and Standard Labour Hours Recovered.
Utilities
Produce Plus includes a wide range of reports. These are available from
the Global Reports Menu.
The
menu is split into separate sections according to the type of
information contained within the reports. These reports can all be
viewed on screen or printed.
It is
also possible to export data from the indicator sections, to an Excel
spreadsheet. The exported data can then be used by management, to
include in their own reports, or perhaps for further analysis.
The UNIDO Business Performance Management Software
can be ordered through official distributors or obtained within Training Programmes introducing
continuous improvement practices increasing productivity, quality,
competitiveness, sustainability and managerial capacity under special
discounts.
