Overview of the Work Execution Work Area

The Overview page in the Work Execution work area serves as a landing page for shop floor personnel to review, manage, and report production activities. It provides insight into plant, work area, work center level production details, and lists all the work execution-related tasks used to manage and execute discrete production.

You can access the Work Execution work area if you've been assigned a job role your enterprise uses for production supervisor or production operator work.

The Work Execution Overview page has a collection of infolets providing high-level summary of the production details of the selected manufacturing plant. The page also has a Panel drawer that lets you directly access the tasks and Reports and Analytics for your manufacturing plant. The Panel drawer can be accessed from the Overview page or any other page within this work area.

Infolets

If you've been assigned a job role your enterprise uses for production supervisor, you see the following infolets relevant to manage and execute production:

  • Work Orders

  • Rework (for discrete manufacturing work orders)

  • Open Exceptions

  • Operations Scheduled Versus Actual

  • WIP Inspections

  • Operations

  • IoT Insights: OEE

  • WIP Inspections

  • Operations

The metrics displayed in the Work Orders, Rework, Operation Scheduled Versus Actual and Operations infolets are displayed based on the values you set by clicking the View By icon.

To change the basis on which the metrics are displayed in the infolets, click View By on the Overview page.

  • To view plant level metrics, leave both the Work Area and Work Center fields to the default value of All.

  • To view work area specific metrics, select the required Work Area.

  • To view work center level metrics, select the correct combination of both the Work Area and Work Center fields.

Note: The Open Exceptions and WIP Inspections infolets aren't affected by this setting and are always applicable at the plant level.

After you have set the value for View By and can view metrics relevant to your work area or work center of your manufacturing plant, you can now click a specific metric and drill down to the underlying page such as the Manage Work Orders page, or the Review Dispatch List page for more detailed information or to perform further actions.
