- A map of the floor showing the state of every area
- Stock per shelf, coloured by occupancy or by number of part numbers
- Open incidents, by type, and how they are trending
- The day’s goods in and goods out, imported from the ERP
- Who is on shift, clock-ins, hours and absences for the month
- Lorry loading and the delivery note out of the loading bay
The problem
The plant’s data existed, but scattered: stock in one spreadsheet, incidents in another, clock-ins in a third and goods receipts inside the ERP. Preparing the morning meeting meant opening all of them and assembling the picture by hand, every day.
What was built
A single screen showing the state of the plant, designed both for the daily meeting and for looking at during the shift: what is in the loading bay, how many incidents are open and of what type, who is present, what has been received and what has gone out today.
Stock per shelf can be coloured by occupancy, by square metres or by number of distinct part numbers, depending on what you are looking at. Goods in and out are imported from the ERP, with nothing retyped.
Beyond the dashboard
What started as a screen to look at ended up being the tool the work is done in: part numbers are created, a lorry is loaded, a package is recorded and the delivery note is generated. Each role sees the tabs that concern it and edits only its own.
Status
In production. The measurable results — how much shorter the daily meeting is, how many stock queries are saved — are pending agreement with the client before being published.
Measurable results: awaiting the client’s authorisation to publish them.
