Outcomes:

RealTime Site Picture Timely alignment of Resources to Workload ID opportunities to increase production and reduced costs Nodal Analysis Delayed MROs

Key position in optimizing production

Qlik Tool DLA’s data visualization and Business Intelligence (BI) tool which accesses multiple databases to present information in near real time Data refreshes hourly Distribution currently has 25+ Application and growing

Benefits of using Qlik to Manage Warehouse Production Can create applications consistent with leadership’s vision to manage through data Applications are developed and maintained by DLA Distribution Reporting standardization and automation across the enterprise Real-time data driven discussions Applications scaled for access on mobile devices … smart phones, tablets Applications refreshed as needed Managing by Data via “Qlik” Tool

Production Meetings – Three Tiers Micro (Tier 1) Shop Floor with Employees Macro (Tier 2) Supervisor with Leaders Mega (Tier 3) Senior Management with Managers / Supervisors

Tiered Production Meetings

Micro (Tier 1) Daily huddle (start of shift or hand-off) with operators and supervisors.

What went right and what went wrong the day before. If something went wrong, what can be done today to improve?

Use of data helps determine what happened and projects what’s needed today.

Set expectations ahead of time so everyone is on the same page.

Discuss hindrances to daily production.

What’s holding back production?

Who’s escalating it?

Who’s solving it?

Who’s following up? Macro (Tier 2) Supervisors are communicating with leads about issues affecting planned vs. actual production.

Discuss progress against the goals for the day. Are you on schedule or behind? What can be done to meet demand if currently behind?

Does the section require assistance from another section of Operations, or can the section offer up resources to help other areas in need?

Mega (Tier 3) Communication between the Production Management Team (DC Leadership) and Managers/Supervisors.

From the Macro Tier 2 daily huddle, supervisors communicate issues back to management and then management provides a plan for addressing those issues. The supervisors relay the information back to their employees.

Extensive use of data tools (Qlik) to guide the discussion and decision process

Daily

Tiered Production Meetings

Performance Open Work – Dashboard WIP – Red Line Aged MRO – Qty and Age Government Production Reviews Start with a standard suite of metrics.

Allow data trends to steer your focus and guide your discussions Some sample views:

Site Manager Production Manager Supervisor Nodal Analysis Open Work App – Ex: Open Stows MRO Allocation App – Must Do Stows MRO Allocation – Bank Production by Hour & User (Ex: Pack)

Nodal Data for MROs

Hi Pri Routine Wave to Pick and Staged to GI taking longer for Hi Pri than Routine MROs. Need to understand why.

Nodal App provides detailed breakdown of processing times by segment.

On the left, you can further break down the data by Division, Branch, Warehouse, Loc Type, Trans Mode, etc.
