Think digitally – dCocpit
Components Production Dashboard
The tool called dCockpit enables you to monitor the fulfilment of intermediate targets in Production, as well as staffing and productivity, in real time
he carmaker has deployed the innovation as one of the SVP (ŠKODA Verbesserungsprozess) projects in the PK – Component Production department. dCockpit is used to display the reporting of the widely used Power BI. It automatically, clearly and neatly summarises essential information and statistics from sections of Production. Logistics and Component Production Quality are also gradually being added.
The tool
increases
the efficiency
of production
meetings – for
example, the
time needed to
go through the
status of each
line is reduced
by up to a third.
The tool is used by supervisors at all levels (including foremen) during meetings, among others. In addition to the general overview of whether an indicator is being met or not, it is also possible to display a more detailed look of the partial indicators of each production section. Another thing dCockpit can do is to filter time slots. “The fact that this is a standardised report is a major advantage. It looks similar in all departments, and everyone has the same source of information. Paper is saved as well, as we don’t have to print all kinds of documents and so on”, explains Pavel Vorlík from PKM – EA 211 Engines.
The key indicators that dCockpit displays include the number of pieces produced per shift, the number of employees, their productivity, the overall efficiency of the equipment and the number of accidents recorded. “Of course, you can access dCockpit from a desktop, but you can also display it on mobile devices like any other Power BI reports. It can be easily published in MS Teams and shared freely there with your co-workers. We are currently working on connecting the source data from the primary systems for the Power BI report to automate the work as much as possible”, says Vorlík. Štěpán Vorlíček
