In a manufacturing environment, the Andon system is one of the key elements for controlling and managing production: Andon is, in fact, a visual solution that supports shop-floor operations.
HOW IT WORKS
The Andon is an illuminated electronic board that allows operators and/or line supervisors to view, in real time, concise information on production progress and, as a result, take timely corrective action when needed.
THE RIGHT INFORMATION REACHES THE RIGHT PEOPLE
By adopting Andon Monitors in the departments, real-time visibility on production status is available to those who need it most, without having to “chase” information on paper or by querying the IT system.
Sharing information across the shop floor in this way increases every team member’s engagement in achieving the shared daily/shift objectives.
