One day, played through
A day with the kit on your shopfloor
Shopfloor management doesn't live inside Excel — it lives at the board and in the huddle. Here is what a day can look like — an example routine with real excerpts from a generated kit. How many huddles you run, which KPIs they cover and at which data level — workstation, machine group or plant — is entirely up to you in the configurator.
05:45
End of early shift
Five numbers, two minutes
The shift lead enters the day's actuals — onto the paper entry sheet at the machine or straight into Excel. With the traffic-light circles filled in, the completed sheet is already visual management: anyone walking past sees at a glance what's running well and where it's stuck — without opening a dashboard.
At the machine: the filled-in entry sheet makes the day's status visible as you walk past. Real excerpt: entry sheet with a traffic-light circle per KPI. 08:30
Shopfloor huddle at the machine-group board
Ten minutes at the board, not in the office
The dashboard shows every KPI as a traffic-light card: actual, target, delta, 30-day trend. Green isn't discussed. Red gets an action — and the safety cross hangs right next to it.

Deviation becomes action
Who. What. By when.
Every red card ends as a row in the action tracker: owner, due date, PDCA status. Overdue actions flag themselves red — nothing gets lost in notebooks.

When it stalls: the meeting chain
Escalation isn't drama — it's an appointment
What the huddle can't solve moves one level up — with clear rules instead of gut feeling. Nothing sits still, and plant management only sees what it needs to see.

Weekly review with the plant manager
Trends, not daily noise
Once a week, direction is what counts: the KPI detail pages show actual vs. target over time. One bad Tuesday doesn't matter — a bad direction does.
Weekly review at the board: the plant-round printouts come straight from the kit. KPI detail page: large actual value, daily deviation, actual-vs-target trend Month start
Monthly review with top management
The month on one page
Month comparison and yearly trend come from the same daily values — nobody copies anything together. Attendance and the safety cross have their own evaluation in their own workbook.

What it costs you daily — honestly
- Data entry: a handful of numbers per workplace and shift — the configurator shows you a live estimate of the pure typing time for your selection.
- The huddle itself: 5–15 minutes. The dashboards calculate everything automatically — nothing is evaluated by hand.
Your day looks different? That's exactly what the configurator is for.
