Follow Up and Analyze in APQ Analysis window (Production Engineer)

In this section of the exercise, you will do a follow up and analysis on a production unit in the APQ Analysis window. During this time you begin to work with a large amount of data in the graph, the trick is to zoom into an interesting subset of data and then drill down into the details to continue work in an overview.

  1. Expand the production unit PM1 – Paper Machine 1 in the Navigator and click APQ Analysis to open the APQ Analysis window.
  2. Click Select View on the toolbar and click APQ Chart.
  3. In the filter section click the 90 Days.
  4. Clear the Use Maximum Production Rate check box.
  5. Click Refresh.

  7. Right-click a node in the graph and click Show Average. Right-click again and click Show Trend.
  8. Identify the lowest point for the APQ line in the graph. Click the graph and drag the pointer to create a square around the lowest point until you see the Click to Zoom option. Click on this option.
  9. Use the ruler below the graph to zoom into a time period of 4 days making sure that the lowest APQ point is still in focus.
  10. Right-click on the graph and click View APQ Loss Events. The OEE Event Loss Overview appears.
  11. Click the Availability tab.
  12. The list of records are grouped by Object ID and Loss Cause by default. Right-click the column headings and click Group By to change the groupings if required.

  20. Find your message in the list. Double-click on it to expand and read the message.
  21. Click the link in the message to open the Stop Event window and view the details.

Follow Up and Analyze in Stop Length Analysis window (Production Engineer)

In this section of the exercise you will do a follow up and analysis on a production unit in the Stop Length Analysis window. You will try to sort and filter the available information to be able to find relations between similar stops that frequently occur as well as to see where there are a lot of stop minutes.

During this time you begin to work with a large amount of data in the graph, the trick is to zoom into an interesting subset of data and then drill down into the details to continue work in an overview.

  1. Expand the production unit PM1 – Paper Machine 1 in the Navigator and click Stop Length Analysis to open the Stop Length Analysis window.
  2. Click Select View on the toolbar and click Analyze Number Of Stop.
  3. In the filter section click the 30 Days.

Follow Up and Analyze in Object Structure Stop Analysis window (Production Engineer)

In this section of the exercise, you will do a follow up and analysis on a production unit in the Object Structure Stop Analysis window. The data in this window will be presented in different colors and sizes. By modifying the selection and the presentation of the data it is possible to visually sort out objects with problems.

During this time you begin to work with a large amount of data in the graph, the trick is to zoom into an interesting subset of data and then drill down into the details to continue work in an overview.

  1. Expand the production unit PM1 – Paper Machine 1 in the Navigator and click Object Structure Stop Analysis to open the Object Structure Stop Analysis window.
  2. Right-click and then click Show Search Criteria.
  3. In the filter section click the 90 Days and then click Refresh.
