SmartSpace continuously monitors the movement of WIP throughout the production process, revealing real-world production flow and detecting deviations from plan.

This instantaneous view of production reality enables operations teams to proactively optimise productivity and quality, while enabling continuous improvement teams to quickly identify process waste and instability.

PROBLEM

• Wasted time searching for WIP
• Delayed WIP stuck between process steps
• Quality issues arising from missed or incorrect process steps
• Bottlenecks caused by frequently-overrunning processes
• Low productivity caused by inecient routing of work orders through available work zones
• Low productivity driving WIP inventory build-up and labour costs required to hit delivery schedules

SOLUTION

• Real-time location of all WIP
• Automatic alerts highlighting delayed WIP
• Real-time detection of process sequence errors
• Automatic identification of unstable processes
• Identify priority WIP and match with available resources

VALUE

• Increased productivity and quality through better coordination of complex processes
• Reduction in labour costs
• Improved order-to-delivery time
• Reduction in WIP inventory
• Reduction in cycle time
