stations and queues with their build items. Know the
performance at each workstation, the position of every
product in process, and the quality status of those
products; which enables you to predict what you
are “Likely” to produce by the end of the shift.
• A Work Order consists of a list of serial numbers
with the information required to build the product,
and the date when they should begin being produced.
• Create a Product, a Route for that Product and create a
Work Order to build it – PINpoint knows how long each
product spends in a workstation, who worked on it,
if it went over cycle, and if help was needed.

11. Production Trends

a Product, a Route for that product and create a
Work Order to build it. PINpoint knows how long
each product spends in a station, who worked
on it, if it was overcycle or if help was required.

16. • V5 ANDON provides the most modern plant
floor communication and efficiency reporting
system in the marketplace today; but, if you
also need to drive world class quality, you
need more. You need PINpoint’s proven
manufacturing execution system, V5 MES.

a station not just counting bolts. PINpoint software comes with all the tools
to create a ‘closed loop of accountability’ at every workstation.

18. • Actively control all fastening operations, scanning, critical
component validation, checklists, pick lights, tester
operations, gauging by process step.
• Force a supervisor ‘buy-off’ if something goes wrong.
• Do a time study on every product you ever build
by monitoring the time to complete each process
step and the overall station cycle time.
• At any time, review any active documents or videos
• Assign and describe a defect. View or resolve
a defect that was assigned at a previous
station - all data is tracked.
• Reject a part so no more work is
completed at future stations.
• View Goal, Planned, Actual, and TAKT
time information on the Productivity Tab.

19. MANUFACTURING INTELLIGENCE
Dashboard & Operator Metrics Reports

20. Start With Your Goal
• Goal is the number of products you want to build for a given shift.
• Select the Scheduler app from the PINpoint Portal Website
to set your Goal for each Shift, and to determine the
Takt time – do this in either of two (2) ways:
1) Input number of units to build for that shift and the system will calculate
the maximum Takt time required per unit (production time / build count)
2) Input the maximum Takt time per unit built and the system will calculate
the number of items the line can produce during the Shift (production
time / takt time, w/ result rounded down to nearest round number)
• Select Auto calculate and input the 'Percent' of Takt time to set your Cycle Time.

21. Dashboard – Plant View
• Plant View provides a clear picture of the assembly line performance
with a Real-time OEE calculation and indication of Goal, Planned, Actual.
• Metrics are displayed in an easy to read format accessible from the cloud.
• An OEE score of 100% is perfect production: manufacturing only good
parts, as fast as possible, with no stop time. An OEE score of 85%
is considered world class for discrete manufacturers.

22. Dashboard - Line View
• Line View tab provides information about Workstation performance, or
the percentage of planned products the Workstation built. It shows
current shift schedule performance, and time categorization information.
• The ‘Station Metrics’ view displayed at the bottom can be customized
• Filter the Station column data to show specific metrics per station.
• Line View ‘Station Metrics’ shows the manufacturer how their assembly
line is performing in real-time with OEE, Performance, and Quality
metrics displayed prominently for each Workstation.

23. Dashboard – Station View
• Station View charts performance of station based on Operator’s process step timing.
• The ‘Planned’ chart shows the expected output from the station as a saw tooth.
• It also allows the user to reclassify Performance Losses to Availability Losses.

24. Operator Metrics Report By Performance
• The Operator Metrics Report By Performance is useful for determining how operators
are performing relative to other operators on the same workstation and shift.
• Results are based on 'Actual' products produced divided by the 'Planned’ number of
products to produce in the specified time-frame the operator is logged into the station.
• Results can be displayed by percentile and color heat map. Use the
“DISPLAY OPTIONS” menu to select from several different metrics.

25. Operator Metrics Report By Average Cycle Time
• Display the By Average Cycle Time report to know the average cycle time
an Operator spends performing process steps while logged into
a certain workstation in a specified time-frame.
• Data can be visualized as either a percentile and/or a color heat map.
• Click on the column heading to filter the results for each workstation.

26. Operator Metrics Report By Total Units Produced
• Know which operators produced the most units at a certain station in a
specified time-frame by displaying the report By Total Units Produced.
• Data can be visualized as a value and a color heat map.
• Hover over the data to reveal specific details about the operator’s
process step completion timing performance.
