OS Lean Skipper demo
The building block first, then the board that puts it to work, up and running.
The 360° ecosystem of a task
A task can only be managed if its ten dimensions are described. That is the building block of the OS.
- With what
- Tools and tooling
- Safety
- PPE and safety rules
- Duration
- Cycle time, value added
- Who
- Skill, ILUO matrix
- Standard task
- E.g. bulkhead fitting, wiring
- Bill of materials
- BOM, supply and kitting
- Quality
- Rules and spec sheet
- How
- Visual work instruction
- When and where
- Lead time and location
- Pacing
- Takt time, customer pace
Every ticket on the board below carries these ten dimensions. That is what lets the OS work out the bottleneck, the priorities and the causes with no double entry.
The ticket board, in real time
What you are looking at. The ticket board of a team of seven craftsmen, at three stations of the assembly hall, over one week. Each ticket is a standard task, with a known duration, placed end to end on its operator's row. The yellow line marks the time at the customer's pace: anything left of it and not yet done is late.
This board exists as a wall version, with its cards, its colored magnets and its string for the takt time. Here, the same thing on screen, without walking to the wall. The right-hand column shows what the OS works out from what the craftsmen report, with no double entry.
This is a demonstration mock-up, with simulated data. It is not software to install: the yard buys a result. By day 90, the board is in place, the team is trained, and it's the team leader who runs it.
Tap a ticket to open the operator view, report a missing part or a defect, then watch the stores and the panel update. Or let the day run with the button.
- Suppliers, upstream stations
- PFC and PTO2 shops, station CQ1
- Station CQ3
- Tracked station, boat 42
- Customer, next station
- Station CQ4, then launch
