From the Area Analysis Window, there are many different viewing options that can be chosen from the settings menu. To access this menu, click on the settings icon in the top right corner to open. Clicking on any of the settings in this window will show the available options.

Shift:

  • Clicking Time will open a calendar to pick a date and time for viewing.

  • The Offset allows users to view the shifts surrounding that date. For example, if the time selected was the day shift, an offset of –1 would be the night shift prior and 1 would be the afternoon shift following the current selected time.

Gauges:

Figure 5-4: Gauges Window

This setting allows for the users to alter the display of 3 Gauges (Goal/OEE/Uptime/Scrap/Availability/Performance/Variance/Quality ratio) to be shown in any preferred order or hidden altogether.

Cycle Settings:

  • Cycle Gauge allows cycles to be displayed in many different measures as listed in the following chart.

Display Name

Cycle Name

Measurement of Cycle

Cycle

Cycle Time

Time for one cycle

PPM

Parts per Minute

Number of parts made per minute

PPH

Parts per Hour

Number of parts made per hour

Part Cycle Time

Takt  Time

Time between the start of production of one unit and the start of the next unit

SPM

Strokes per Minute

Number of strokes done per minute

SPH

Strokes per Hour

Number of strokes done per hour

 

  • Time Metric allows the displayed cycle time to be calculated based on three available different time metrics (Uptime only(default), Elapsed( total time) and Scheduled time).

  • Cycle Tolerance sets the cycle time tolerance limits. Over cycling machines are indicated by a light green gauge with a dark green ring. Cycle times within target are indicated by a solid green gauge.

  • Overcycling Tolerance when enabled, cycle times outside the specified limits are indicated by a red circle.

Goal and Scrap Targets:

Changing target settings adjusts the gauge colors for Goal and Scrap targets.

Goal Target: By default, Green is 75-100%, Yellow from 50-75%, and Red 0-50%.

Scrap Target: By default, Green is 0-2%, Yellow from 5-10%, and Red 10-100%.

Columns:

This part of the settings allows columns to be shown or hidden.

  • Hide Jobs, Time, Reason, or Comment columns will hide the individual column.

    • hiding the Reason column changes the name of the machine state to the reason applied

    • hiding the Comments column puts the comments underneath the machine state

  • Hide Plot will hide the colored production count bars.

  • Hide Loss will hide the Type, Reason, and Comment columns.

  • Rotate Jobs changes the text orientation for the Job column (default is vertical).

Display:

  • Show Occurrences lists a count of the number of times a reason occurs in the Type column

  • Part Count by State will show the number of parts produced by each machine state (default is to group all parts made into running)

  • Hide Total hides the total count

  • Unwrap Comments makes the comments stay on one line (comments may not be fully visible)

  • Row Limit changes how many items are listed in the Type column (0 will show all)

  • Loss Filter filters Type, Reason, and   Comments by typing a word

    • use “!” to filter out—ie. “!Idle” will display everything except idle

    • use OR to filter for multiple words—ie “Idle or Micro Stoppages” will display only those two

  • Pareto Group allows the creation of a Pareto chart for items within the Type column

  • Pareto Field determines the criteria for sorting the above Pareto

  • Units changes how the parts are counted—Base is the default and others are specialized

Pareto Group:

Within the Pareto Group category, you can change the way that the Pareto looks.

  • NO will not Pareto the Type column

  • ALL will sort all the machine states by the selected Pareto field

  • COLOUR will sort the same as ALL, but with all uniform non-extended square color blocks.           

  • TYPE will primarily sort the running types (Running, Scheduled downtime, Unscheduled downtime) by the Pareto field selected, and secondarily sort the machine statuses within each type (Slow running and Running within Running, Micro stoppages and Idle within Unscheduled downtime)

  • NAME will primarily sort the machine status name (Idle, Micro stoppage etc) by the Pareto field selected, and then secondarily sort the downtime reasons by the Pareto field.

Figure 5-10: Pareto Groups chosen are No, All, Color, Type, Name in respective order

Pareto Field:

Within the Pareto Field category, you can determine how the Pareto is sorted:

  • DURATION will sort by the total elapsed time each occurred

  • OCCURRENCES will sort by the number of times each occurred

  • TOTAL will sort by the parts made in each machine state, and secondarily by duration

  • SCRAP will sort by the quantity of scrap, and secondarily by duration

Figure 5-11: Pareto Fields chosen are Duration, Occurrences, Total, Scrap in respective order

Print: 

  • Print allows you to select a paper size.
