View Production Circle
Explanation
Use this activity to obtain an overview of all
production units connected as sub production units to a production unit
overview. This window is useful as you can easily manage several production
units from one place. For each production unit connected to the overview, a
production circle is displayed in the upper section of the window. The
production circle is graphically viewed as a pie chart and shows the production
status and stop time of a production unit. Production time is to be read
counter-clockwise. Observe the following illustration:
Assume that the production circle is similar to a
normal clock. With this comparison, the current production time in the
production circle is at 12 o'clock. One hour back in time will be at 11 o'clock.
In the production circle, running production is shown
in green while stops are shown in red. The bigger the piece of the pie chart
that is colored in red, the longer a stop would have occurred. If a production
unit is currently out of production, its production circle will be grayed out in
the overview mode.
- If you click on an event in the list, the
production circle for the production unit where the event occurred will be
highlighted with a frame around it.
- If a stop event that occurred during the last 12
hours exists, the red piece in the pie chart for this event will be
highlighted with a white frame around it.
- You can report an event, i.e., stop, log,
scrapping, produced, and production change, directly on the production
circle by using the relevant right mouse button options.
In addition to this, you can view a more detailed view
of a production unit by clicking the link given below each production unit
circle.
Prerequisites
- The production unit must have been created, and
connected as a sub production unit to a production unit overview. This
creation/connection is made in the
Define Production Units window (Setup OEE).
- The production unit must have the follow up type
APQ.
- The production unit overview must have the follow
up type Overview.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, several production units
can be managed from one place.
