The Innovation Challenge: Digitising a Paper-Based System David Forrest, Nissan
Background There is a requirement for a concern reporting tool that runs on mobile electronic devices to enable factory operators and inspectors to record observations in a user-defined format. The app is intended to be used during periods when new parts are introduced, processes are changed, there are intermittent facility issues or when there is a heightened focus on quality. Benefits of having the app are: • fast data capture • accurate recording of observations • automatic time stamping • eliminates time for data entry (for analysis after the observation period has ended)
Current Condition • Template is created in Microsoft Excel • Paper copies printed and distributed to the shop floor • Operator / Inspector fills in by hand • Completed copies returned to creator and typed into Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet for analysis
The Challenge Propose, design and demonstrate an application that can run on Android and iOS that allows an administrator to quickly create (<5 minutes) a customised concern log that can then be used by an operator or inspector to record information as it is observed.
App Requirements • Administrator creates a custom concern dashboard consisting of the following input types: • Question & Answer format: • Administrator defines the Questions. (i.e. is part X in place?) • User is presented with a number of fields (questions) to answer • a) User can select from multiple choice (administrator defined) • b) User can input text (open ended) • Tally count format: • Administrator defines failure mode types. • The user clicks to register when that fault type is observed. • The user has an option to add additional info (VIN, serial number, etc) • Time stamp requirement for reporting & traceability. • The dashboard format is then locked and the app is run in “user” mode allowing the operator or inspector to input data without changing the format of the log file. • At the end of the observation period the collected data is transferred to a PC, storage location or into a central reporting system database for further analysis.
Example 1: Part Quality Check • Customisable screen • The administrator is able to configure the size, description and colour of the boxes • By pressing each box, the user creates a time based record of each occurrence into a database • Results can be viewed by time, date and attribute • Option to send via email client or export for further analysis Part Quality Check Results Start: 06:00:00 07/11/2018 End: 23:59:59 07/11/2018 NG Scrap (Too Small) NG Rework (Too Small) OK (Within Specification) NG Rework (Too Large) NG Scrap (Too Large) Back Results Edit Back Export to Excel Send Edit Dates 10:27:13 9th November 2018
Example 2: Defect Reporting • Customisable screen • The user is able to input data in text format into fields pre-set by the administrator • Save function creates a time based record of the defect into a database • Option to export data for further analysis Defect Reporting Part Number 12345 XYZ678 Defect Description Part supplied is the wrong colour and does not match the rest of the batch Back Save
Example 3: Fault Tree Diagnosis • Administrator is able to define a fault tree to guide and limit the user in identifying a concern. • User selects through each screen until they reach final level that correctly identifies and categorises the concern • Final concern saves tree history and time based record of the defect into a database for further analysis Fault Tree Diagnosis Model A Model B Model C Model D Back Edit
