Abstract

A web-based workplace performance improvement system was developed for managing real-time manufacturing processes and the level of execution of the production tasks at workplaces. The system's web aspect provides significant advantages, as the system is distributed through inter-operable, cross-platform, and highly pluggable web-service components. It is possible to estimate the effectiveness of the production process at the workplace through different key performance indicators. The main objective is to eliminate excessive idle time, but also to analyse possibilities of reducing various times involved in the manufacturing process, such as the setup time, quality control time, etc. The system was developed in cooperation with Fujitsu Services Estonia, and it is possible to integrate it with the human resources managing system PERSONA (Fujitsu Services).

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Principles of improving workplace and production system performance are tightly connected to the company’s competitiveness. Optimization of workplace activities is an integral factor for achieving the expected performance and improving results. The workplace is connected to different information flows. The workplace is connected to the information flows, the aim of which is to describe the tasks at the workplace as well as the data concerning the results of the analysis (quality, productivity, energy efficiency, cost, etc.). Making the right decisions and managing the timely launch of improvement activities are possible on time only if adequate information is available. Workplace performance can improve the results based on the needs of the respective model, the management of information flows, data collection and analysis.
