The Factory Media Center

Our Goal

Creating a new environment for reviewing and interacting with data on the plant floor

Collaboration with Context

The Vision

Collaboration taken to a new level…

An environment on the factory floor which :

  • Immerses the operators in plant performance data
  • Integrates operators engineers, 3rd party vendors with the root cause problem solving process
  • Guarantees the use of common templates, 5 why, fishbone, etc.
  • Ensures continuous improvement activity is immediately shared, not waiting on being typed up and circulated
  • Creates total visibility, connectivity and accountability for performance across the entire business
