OS Lean Skipper demo
First the basic building block, the task, then the board that keeps the tasks moving.
The 360° ecosystem of a task
You can only manage a task once its ten dimensions are described. The task is the basic building block of the OS.
- With what
- Tools and tooling
- Safety
- PPE and safety rules
- Duration
- Cycle time, value added
- Who
- Skills, ILUO matrix
- Standard task
- E.g. bulkhead install, wiring
- Bill of materials
- BOM, supply and kitting
- Quality
- Rules and spec sheet
- How
- Visual work instruction
- When and where
- Lead time and location
- Pacing
- Takt, the customer's pace
Every ticket on the board below holds these ten dimensions: they're what lets the OS work out the bottleneck, the priorities and the causes, with no double entry.
The ticket board, live
What you're looking at. The ticket board for a team of seven builders, across three stations in the assembly shop, over one week. Each ticket is a standard task with a known duration, laid end to end on its operator's row. The yellow line marks the time at the customer's pace: anything to its left that isn't done yet is late.
There's also a wall version of this board, with cards, colored magnets and a string for the takt. Here you see the same thing on screen, without walking over to the wall. The right-hand column shows what the OS works out from what the builders report, with no double entry.
This is a demo mock-up with simulated data. You have nothing to install: the yard pays for a result. By Day 90, the board is in place, the team is trained and the team lead runs it.
Tap a ticket to open the operator view, report a missing part or a defect, then watch the stockroom and the panel update. Or let the day play out with the button.
- Suppliers, upstream stations
- PFC and PTO2 shops, station CQ1
- Station CQ3
- The tracked station, boat 42
- Customer, downstream station
- Station CQ4, then launch
