This questionnaire has been designed to undertake a precise and general identification of the needs, and potential areas of opportunity, with regard to the implementation of Manufacturing 4.0.

We'll explore these 7 key areas:

  • Attendance Control
  • Machine Connectivity And Performance Tracking
  • Production Planning And Scheduling
  • MES System Or Production Management System
  • OEE And Dashboards
  • Notification & Alerts
  • Quality Control And OEE

Your honest opinion, response, and information will always remain purely exclusive and private, and shall help us offer a more accurate evaluation and some practical knowledge which is useful for you. Please respond to the following questions:

0%

Attendance Control

1. Is there something like an attendance control on the production floor at your company?

1.1 Has your staff time and attendance control implementation been missing so far?

1.2 Are you looking for a real-time monitoring of your processes but not able to achieve it yet?

1.3 Do you want something that allows a better monitoring the performance and control?

1.4 Are you able to efficiently manage the schedules, credentials and authorization of workers with as little effort as required?

Machine Connectivity And Performance Tracking

2. About Machine Connectivity and Performance Tracking: Do you have full control and monitoring from your company?

2.1 Are You Able To Track Work Progress In Real Time?

2.2 Are you currently managing production data on paper?

2.3 Are you able to have real-time data for tracking and analyzing resource status?

2.4 Do you want to Plan & Schedule for Optimal Performance But Struggling with Execution?

Production Planning And Scheduling

3. Are you happy with the way that production planning and scheduling are being managed?

3.1 Do you want to increase the overall success rate of your scheduling all the way through performance optimization?

3.2 Do you support backwards and forward production scheduling?

3.3 Do you have an Excel sheet or some similar spreadsheet software for production scheduling?

3.4 Is your current production scheduling process insufficient and impairing the performance of your shop floor?

MES System Or Production Management System

4. About how your production works today, do you currently have a functional production tracking method? If so, consider if this works correctly for you (if not, confirm as limited) if you do not have one, confirm as no.

4.1 Since you are limited or do not have a system, are you looking to transition from paper-based traceability to a paperless shop floor and improve overall document management?

4.2 Well then, do you currently manage and distribute documents manually but want to make them more accessible and editable?

4.3 And what about the information? Is your production data still kept on paper, making it difficult to track and analyze the status of resources in real time?

4.4 Do you consider that you lack real-time connectivity with your equipment and machines and are you looking to establish it to improve operational efficiency?

OEE And Dashboards

5. Do you know what OEE is and do you have a solution to manage critical information in your production process, from traceability to real-time decision-making?

5.1 Can you currently improve at least one of the following aspects of performance in your company using OEE data and information: factory, employee, equipment?

5.2 Do you want, but still lack, a good way to perform product analysis? Or can you do it today without problems?

5.3 Do you have machines in production and their effectiveness affects your production, and can you control or monitor them?

5.4 Do you have a way to manage the flow of production data in real time to make quick, calculated adjustments to the production schedule?

5.5 What method do you currently use for managing critical information in your production process, from traceability to real-time decision-making?

Notification & Alerts

6. Do you have a notification tool for any of the following information management issues: bottlenecks, quality and traceability issues in your production process? and does its operation meet the desired objective?

6.1 Do you have any methods for early warnings or information about bottlenecks and quality issues while creating complete production traceability?

6.2 Do you have any type of instant messaging, configurable alerts?

6.3 You track issues such as problem management and early warnings of downtime and production issues? and that solution match you goals?

QUALITY CONTROL And OEE

7. Do you have control over the calculation of production efficiency, real-time monitoring of resources and quality deviations, as well as product analysis in your manufacturing process?

7.1 Can you calculate production efficiency in real-time and historically, supported by comprehensive reports?

7.2 Do you possess real-time data for tracking and analyzing resource statuses in your production process?

7.3 Can your production system track quality deviations and exceptions in real-time, enhancing quality control management and documentation?

7.4 Is there a need for an effective method to perform product analysis in your current setup?
