This session will explore the transformative impact of operator-centered information systems (i.e., interactive dashboards) on the shop floor, specifically known at Bayer as “Production Info Boards.” These dashboards serve as centralized hubs, providing real-time production metrics, organizational updates, and operational insights. By tailoring features to meet shop floor needs, these systems streamline information flow, support Lean principles, and empower operators to make data-driven decisions. In this session, you will learn how to:

• Integrate dashboards as centralized hubs to provide real-time access to production metrics, performance data, and organizational updates, facilitating informed decision-making and enhanced communication.
• Customize dashboard content to meet shop floor needs, supporting Lean principles and improving efficiency by focusing on the most relevant operational data for operators.
• Foster continuous improvement and operational excellence by streamlining processes, promoting transparency, and empowering operators with the information they need to take proactive actions.
