Augos Factory / For multi-site groups
For group operations
Your best site's method, at every site.
One shift record across every plant in the group, on the same definitions and the same measures. When the same task takes twice as long at one site, the record shows which site has already solved it.
What a group needs
Comparable numbers before comparable sites
The same definitions
One stop reason list, so "waiting for material" means the same thing at every plant.
The same measures
Every site's losses in hours and share of paid time, worked out the same way. Net production time in rand comes from each product's sales value.
Task by task
The same kind of task, such as a coil change or a clean, compared across sites. Each site keeps its own schedule and allocated times, and each has its own recommended time.
Rolling out
One line, then the plant, then the group
Start with the line that hurts most at one plant. Once it runs on its record, add that plant's other lines, then the next plant, using the same workbook template so definitions carry across.
One line, one plant
A three-month paid pilot, with a written success test.
The rest of that plant
Volume licensing for several lines at one site; the reason list is already settled.
Other plants in the group
The group's workbook and reason list, introduced at each site with its shop stewards.
Questions
For groups, answered
Our sites make different products. Can they still be compared?
Compare like tasks: changeovers, cleaning, breakdowns on similar equipment. Product-specific losses stay site by site.
Is there group pricing?
Several lines at one site qualify for volume licensing, at a lower price per line. Lines across several sites are agreed with you.
How is operator data handled across the group?
As personal information under POPIA, with access by role at each site, and introduced with each site's shop stewards. The shop-floor charter ›
