Presenting Data

This chapter covers the following topics:

Presenting Data Analysis Results

The Home page enables you to quickly navigate to the results of your data analysis of the past (Insights) or predictions of the future (Predictions). Alternatively, you can view every action on the shop floor using the Factory Command Center or view the linkages between actions and materials using Genealogy & Trace. This chapter explains the information you can gather from the data presented in these four modules.

Using Insights Analysis

The Insights page enables business users to explore published insights in order to understand the hidden factors influencing the output. Each tile on the Insights page summarizes the latest published insights for an output type (if there are no published insights for an output type, no tile displays). Output types include custom KPIs and the seeded KPIs of quality, yield, serial unit quality, and serial unit yield.

One insight model might result in multiple insights related to different output classifications. Depending on whether you are a process manufacturing, or discrete manufacturing user, you can search for insights using the following filter categories:

The insights are listed in the order of the published date. Users can drill into each of the insights using the right arrow to understand the correlations and data distribution of the influencing factors for the output over the historical data analyzed. An example of an insight drill-down page is shown below as one page, and then displayed in two parts. This is the same page used when evaluating an insights model. See: Evaluating a Model.

Using Predictive Analysis

Begin using predictive analysis by clicking Predictions on the Home page. The Predictive Analysis page appears and provides a starting point for reviewing the predictions across products in a plant, for a given product, and at the level of a work order and output (quality element, operation yield, work order yield, or custom KPI) combination. Next, select predictions for one of the seeded KPIs (Quality, Yield, Serial Unit Quality, or Serial Unit Yield), or predictions for a custom KPI.

Predictive Analysis page

Using Genealogy and Trace

The Genealogy and Trace page enables you to navigate through the entire history of a work order, serial number, equipment instance, or lot using a Timeline Viewer. Events that appear in the timeline in relation to an entity include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) events related to work orders, purchase orders, sales orders and other logistical movements of entities, and events captured by sensor devices.

Genealogy and Trace also includes a Network Viewer, which traces the history of item lots and serial units from their inception to their current location within and across organizations. Every action performed on the entities through their journey is mapped. Users can drill down into the details of a relationship between two nodes in a genealogy, details of participating entities, and genealogies of all the participating entities. You can launch a genealogy by providing a purchase order, lot, serial number, work order, sales order, or a user defined entity. Using the two viewers together enables users to quickly isolate the event or material that resulted in a quality issue and/or a yield loss in a finished product.

You can extend the timeline and network viewer by adding new types of events or entities using REST services. Customize a timeline event in the following ways:

  1. Choose the type of entity for which the event occurs, the entity name, and the manufacturing plant (for example, Work Order, Work Order Number and Organization Code).

  2. Specify text that describes the event.

  3. Specify the date on which the event occurs.

  4. Choose an icon and its background color to visually represent the new event. Choose from the icons listed in Icon Mapping.

  5. Choose the text font and color to use when displaying the event node.

  6. Specify the details of the event to display when a user right clicks on an event node and selects Show Details.

Customize a node or entity in the Network Viewer by:

  1. Choosing the type of entity that the node represents and its code (for example, Lot, Work Order, Lot Number and Work Order Number).

  2. Choosing the inventory item associated with the entity.

  3. Entering text to describe the node.

  4. Selecting an icon for the node (only required if the entity is user defined).

  5. Choosing the text font and color to use when displaying the network node.

  6. Specifying the details of the entity to display when a user right clicks on a network node and selects Show Details.

  7. Adding user defined indicator icons for use in Network Viewer entity nodes. Choose from the indicator icons listed in Icon Mapping.

To use the Timeline Viewer

The Genealogy and Trace page presents the timeline history in a split screen, with machine and custom event data displayed in the bottom half of the screen. Events related to a work order, equipment, serial number, or lot are captured directly by machines and display in the bottom half. ERP events display in the top half. Different icons represent each event type. See: Icon Mapping.

  1. Navigate to the Genealogy and Trace page. Click the Search icon. Select Timeline.

  2. In the Select Entity field, select Work Order, Equipment, Serial, or Lot.

    A search criteria region appears.

  3. Enter your search criteria, then click Search.

  4. Select an entity from the search results.

    A timeline view of all events associated with the entity appears. The timeline extends over the entire period of events. For example, if all of the events in a work order occur in a 4 hour window, the timeline extends to this entire duration, with scaling in hours. For equipment, the timeline initially displays one week, but you can change the start and finish dates at the top of the timeline as needed. A lot or serial timeline, like a work order timeline, displays the entire history of the serial unit or lot.

    the picture is described in the document text

  5. Optionally, adjust the timeline to zoom in or out on a time period. Perform this adjustment by moving the left and right ends of the lower region timeline slider. You can also drag your view of events to the left or right.

    Additional Information: The timeline slider uses boxes to represent the concentration of events along the timeline. In the upper section of the timeline, scroll up, down, left, and right to view all events, if necessary.

  6. Optionally, select an event or entity, right click, then select Show Details.

    • For all entities, you can right click to View Network or View Serial Timeline, if the entity selected is a serial assembly.

    • For a serial entity, you can also right click to View Serial Timeline. The timeline opens to the same point in time, but only displays events relevant to the serial number.

    • For an equipment entity, you can also right click to View Equipment Timeline. The timeline opens to the same point in time, but only displays operations and events relevant to the equipment. If multiple equipment instances exist, all instances appear above the timeline. Select one of the instances to view in the timeline.

    • For equipment entities, operations appear in the top half of the timeline, while events and alerts appear in the lower half.

    • For a lot entity, you can also right click to View Lot Timeline from the inception to the consumption of the lot. Examples of lot timeline events include receipt to stores, RMA return, miscellaneous receipt/issue, WIP issue, WIP completion, and lot translate.

    • Events do not appear on the timeline if the events occur in an organization for which you do not have access.

    • If more than one event occurs at the same time, the events appear stacked. The number of stacked events displays in the lower right corner of the top event. Click this number to expand the view of all events.

  7. Optionally, narrow the list of entities and events shown on the timeline by selecting the operations or types of events to display at the top of the timeline.

    • For work orders, select the operations and types of events.

    • For equipment, serial, and lot numbers, select the types of events.

To use the Network Viewer

Network Viewer enables you to trace a serialized or lot controlled item from a supplier, through its consumption in a manufacturing work order, to its shipment to a customer. Access the Network Viewer from a selected entity in the Timeline Viewer or directly from the Genealogy and Trace page.

Warning: The Network Viewer appears blank when viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Use another supported browser. See: Supported Browsers, Oracle Adaptive Intelligent Apps for Manufacturing Data Ingestion User's Guide.

  1. Navigate to the Genealogy and Trace page. Click the Search icon. Select Network.

  2. In the Select Entity field, select Lot, Serial, Work Order, Purchase Order, Sales Order, or User Defined.

    A search criteria region appears.

  3. Enter your search criteria, then click Search.

    Note: For entities with a large list of values, you can not view any values unless you narrow the list of values by entering search criteria.

  4. Select an entity from the search results.

    Once the genealogy of an entity appears, the entity itself is highlighted yellow. You can navigate through the genealogy and drill into the details of all participating entities. Whenever you perform a navigation action on a different entity, that entity is identified by a star in the top right corner. So, at any given time, you can identify the entity at the current center of analysis (the entity with the star) and the original entity (the entity highlighted yellow).

    Additional Information: A red work order indicates scrap produced.

    the picture is described in the document text

  5. Optionally, right click on an entity and select one of the following options:

    Note: Options vary depending on the type of entity selected.

    • Show Details - displays entity header information, including alerts.

    • View Work Order, Equipment, Lot, or Serial Timeline - displays the Timeline Viewer.

    • Show Parent and Child Nodes Only - shows all entities directly related to the entity with a star.

    • Highlight Parent and Child Nodes - displays all nodes, but indirectly related nodes are grayed out.

    • Show Adjacent Nodes Only- displays only the entities immediately before and after the entity with a star.

    • Unhide Adjacent Nodes - reveals nodes adjacent to visible nodes when the hidden, adjacent nodes were either not part of the original genealogy retrieved or were hidden when an option such as "Show Parent and Child Nodes only" was used.

    • Show Entire Network - comprehensively explodes through the entire supply chain, showing all nodes connected to the selected node.

  6. Notice the following types of lines that connect the entities in a network:

    • Solid black - the entities have a direct relationship to each other. For example, a solid black line connecting a purchase order to multiple serial numbers indicates that the serial numbers were purchased with that purchase order.

    • Dotted - the entities have some sort of relationship, but you must further expand the entities shown to understand the relationship. For example, a serial number may have a relationship with a work order, but you can only see that a parent serial number was used to make a child serialized assembly once you expand the work order.

    • Solid red - indicates an item return.

    Additional Information: A link to a lock icon labeled “No Access” indicates a transfer to an organization that is inaccessible to the user.

  7. Optionally, right click on a connecting line to view the transaction details.

  8. To display the object type of an entity, hover over the entity's icon.

  9. Optionally, expand entities with a plus sign next to them. An expanded purchase order, for example, might display multiple lots. An expanded lot might display all of the serial items contained in the lot.

    • Use the Expand All and Collapse All links in the upper right corner of the page to expand or collapse all entities at once.

    • Use the Control Panel icon in the upper left corner of the page to zoom in, out, or to fit the view to the page.

    • Use the Backward, Forward, and Refresh icons in the upper left corner of the page to view previous or next pages and to reset the view to where you started.

    • A serial number displayed as a stack of cards indicates that multiple serial numbers of the same item have a relationship with the selected entity.

Note: If you are using Business Entity Data, the information you can view for process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing organizations in the Genealogy and Trace module depends on the Business Entity Data ingestion method.
