Shop floor management with mlean
3 modules to manage daily operations, improve visibility, and act faster
Included in this solution:
Routines
Align daily work with factory goals and eliminate wasted management time.
The Routines module defines and manages daily activities for individuals and teams, ensuring every task is aligned with factory priorities and performance targets.
It gives full visibility of how time is actually spent, capturing irregular activities that disrupt productivity and allowing you to measure their real impact.
Tasks are automatically carried over until completed, ensuring nothing critical is missed.
With the Routines module, you can:
Align daily work with factory objectives
Ensure every routine task contributes to production and financial goals, eliminating non-value-added activities
Identify hidden time losses
Track unplanned activities and quantify their impact to reduce inefficiencies and justify resource decisions
Prevent critical tasks from being missed
Automatically carry over incomplete tasks, ensuring key activities like maintenance or quality checks are always executed
Improve management performance and accountability
Give full visibility across teams and levels, helping managers coach effectively and ensure routines are followed
Gemba Walk
Detect problems at the source and act before they escalate.
The Gemba Walk module digitizes shop floor tours, allowing teams to capture real conditions, identify deviations, and compare observations in real time.
It standardizes what should be checked, ensures consistency across teams, and connects every finding directly to actions or improvement ideas so managers can get direct visibility of what’s happening on the floor at all times.
With the Gemba Walk module, you can:
Get full visibility of shop floor reality
Capture deviations with evidence in real time, eliminating blind spots and delayed reporting
Move from reactive to proactive management
Detect weak signals early and prevent issues before they become major failures
Standardize shop floor observations
Ensure critical checks are performed consistently across all teams and shifts
Act faster on identified issues
Connect findings directly to alerts and actions, reducing response time from days to minutes
SFM Board
Turn daily meetings into a real-time control system for your factory.
The SFM Board centralizes all shop floor data into a single, real-time dashboard, giving teams a clear view of performance, priorities, and ongoing issues.
It connects data from across modules and systems, ensuring everyone works from the same information and nothing gets lost between shifts or meetings, and by making priorities visible and actionable, teams can focus on what matters most.
With the SFM Board module, you can:
Get a single source of truth for all operations
Centralize KPIs and shop floor data so teams make decisions based on accurate, real-time information
Focus teams on the right priorities
Automatically highlight overdue actions and critical issues to ensure they are addressed quickly
