Orchestration Data-Driven

Floor Intelligence

Links your OEE analysis directly to your value stream map to answer the question leadership always asks: "Where should we focus next quarter?" Output is a ranked improvement backlog, not a pile of charts.

What You Get

Data inputs → ranked actions

📊
OEE Report
Availability, Performance, Quality, Six Big Losses Pareto. Calculated from your CSV with formulas shown.
🗺️
VSM Numbers
Takt, effective cycle times, lead time, PCE, and the bottleneck. Calculated from your walk data.
🔗
Cross-Analysis
Which OEE loss category is hitting the value stream's bottleneck step? That's your highest-leverage target.
📋
Ranked Backlog
Improvement opportunities ranked by estimated impact vs. effort, with the data source for every item so you can defend the ranking.

Sample Backlog

What the output looks like

Each backlog item traces back to a data source. No "we should probably work on that" items without a number behind them.

How the estimates are built

Every impact is an estimate with its arithmetic shown, and it is an upper bound until the change is timed at the gemba. Item 1: Setup is 61% of the 11.9 points of unplanned downtime, which is 7.3 points of Availability. Cutting the Form changeover from 45 to about 20 minutes removes 56% of that (4.0 points), and 4.0 × 92.3% Performance × 96.5% Quality is about 3.6 points of OEE, assuming Form is all of the Setup loss. Item 2: 14% of 11.9 points, if every jam were removed. Blank is not the constraint (Form is), so that gain reaches line output only after Form is relieved. Item 3: 0.21 days of supply is about 1.5 hours of queue at a 7-hour day, so that is the most it can shorten.

Cross-analysis is the differentiator

Either data source alone, OEE or VSM, gives you a list of losses. Together they show you which loss is the bottleneck, so you attack the one that moves the most output, not just the biggest percentage on a pie chart.
