The fictitious international soda factory Jungle Power Drinks is facing an important decision: will they implement the EZ-GO app across 60 factories worldwide? Project manager Wolfgang Sandburg is at the pilot location in the Netherlands and has a couple of critical questions to discuss.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the morning, Wolfgang received a demonstration of the app from the spirited operator Bianca. It all seemed so easy, almost too good to be true. And maybe it is. As the German project manager drives over to a restaurant together with his host John Veldman for lunch, it suddenly hits him. Has he been bamboozled by Bianca, with her piercing green eyes? Has she been instructed to blow him away with a rosy picture? After all, the Dutch branch is well aware of the fact that they are being watched by headquarters. Divestment was on the table just last year. The \u2018EZ-GO app\u2019 and the impressive results sure came at the right time.<\/p>\n

Over lunch, Wolfgang orders a good glass of wine and grilled catfish while John Veldman opts for a glass of milk and a grilled cheese sandwich. Once a Dutchie, always a Dutchie. \u2018I\u2019ll get straight to the point, John.\u2019 says Wolfgang, \u2018I\u2019m not convinced.\u2019<\/p>\n

The comment doesn\u2019t seem to faze John at all.<\/p>\n

Wolfgang: \u2018It was great fun to see Bianca at work, but let\u2019s not get carried away, she could have done the same thing with a hard copy list. I can\u2019t show up at headquarters with the story; this woman Bianca demonstrated a Weekly Cleaning so let\u2019s roll it out across factories in twelve countries.\u2019<\/p>\n

John corrects him: \u2018Checklist End of Week Cleaning and Inspection. There are several weekly cleaning tasks, we shouldn\u2019t be mixing them up. That\u2019s what the app is for.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘<\/em>Whatever. What I\u2019m trying to say is, what is the added value? And don\u2019t bother with the numbers you sent my director, anyone can attribute numbers to themselves. What I want to know is, in concrete terms, why on earth we need to implement an app for such simple tasks.\u2019<\/p>\n

One of three thousand<\/h2>\n

John leans back for a moment while the waiter serves their dishes, and takes a sizeable gulp of milk before he begins to talk. \u2018I\u2019m not saying you should, Wolfgang. If you want to go back to Herr M\u00fcller and tell him you aren\u2019t persuaded, no hard feelings. I wish you best of luck.\u2019 He laughs, but Wolfgang is not amused.<\/p>\n

\u2018Could you please just answer the question?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course, my apologies. Look, what you saw was just one checklist out of 265 checklists used at our location. Just looking up the right checklist for each machine and moment, would cost the operators at least fifteen minutes a day excluding the actual operations. Multiply that by eighty daily operators and you get a total of twenty hours a day, plus a similar amount of time to sign off on the checklists.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Doesn\u2019t it take time to start up the app?\u2019<\/p>\n

John holds up his mobile phone and Wolfgang understands what he is trying to say.<\/p>\n

\u2018You have a point, it\u2019s just as quick as an app on a phone.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018You gain a lot by making sure that the operators get just the right checklists, work instructions, first line maintenance tasks and audits presented to them \u2013 and only what is relevant at that moment in time.\u2019<\/p>\n

Wolfgang nods. \u2018Ok, so finding the right lists is easier, which saves time. I get it.\u2019 He writes it down in his notebook and begins to eat his grilled catfish, which looks good.<\/p>\n

\u2018But that is utter peanuts compared to the time we\u2019ve saved by reducing the number of short interruptions and failures\u2019, John adds.<\/p>\n

Fewer short interruptions and failures<\/h2>\n

Wolfgang fillets his catfish and listens.<\/p>\n

\u2018Because the app makes autonomous maintenance, inspections and audits much easier, they are performed more frequently and always in the same way. The textual instructions were replaced with photos and videos that provide an at-a-glance view of what needs to happen, as you\u2019ve seen with Bianca. It is no longer an extra effort, but a self-explanatory, easy routine. As a result, the machines retain their optimal basic condition.\u2019<\/p>\n

Wolfgang sniffs. \u2018People lack discipline these days, bite-sized pieces is all they can handle.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I see it differently. The operators have a lot of discipline, but you need to offer them the right tools so they can show what they\u2019re capable of. My favourite part of the app is the feedback button. It was used tens of times in the first couple of weeks. I didn\u2019t know what hit me! Nobody would say these things to me, but the app prompted them to go nuts with pictures and suggestions for solutions. We are still improving the process as a result.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Beeindruckend.\u2019<\/em> Wolfgang writes: continuous improvement. \u2018Do you use the app for maintenance and inspections only, or for start-ups and change-overs as well?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018What do you think?\u2019<\/p>\n

Vertical start-up<\/h2>\n

Wolfgang writes: start-ups and change-overs. \u2018Let me guess. Those have improved as well?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Everyone used to have their own way of performing the start-up sequence. Some operators never managed to configure the machine correctly in one go. Always adjusting, resetting, fine-tuning. It could take up to half an hour and a lot of material was being wasted in the process. Thanks to the straightforward photos and videos, start-ups and change-overs are now being conducted correctly right off the bat 99% of the time. We call it a vertical start-up: we are back at line speed in no time.\u2019<\/p>\n

How does that affect your productivity?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I haven\u2019t made a separate calculation for the start-ups, but all across the board, with all the improvements we\u2019ve made, we are now utilising the line capacity with an approximate increase of 3 or 4%.\u2019<\/p>\n

Wolfgang almost chokes on a bone, coughs and says: \u2018If we do that everywhere, it could mean the difference between building an additional production location or not.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Across sixty factories, that\u2019s at least 2 production locations.\u2019 John raises his half empty glass of milk.<\/p>\n

Wolfgang gives him a pondering look, raises his wine glass and says: \u2018You\u2019re right.\u2019<\/p>\n

Lucky charms<\/h2>\n

Wolfgang is on board and can\u2019t wait to get started. Still, there are a couple of questions left: he has a report to complete. \u2018How does the app contribute to the quality of your output?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Easy, the straightforward visual instructions once again help tremendously and have all but eliminated human error.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018That must save a lot of rejected batches, complaints and recalls.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Recalls, what are those?\u2019<\/p>\n

They both burst into laughter, painfully remembering how the company was forced to recall a huge shipment from China three months ago because they had found a lucky charm inside one of the cans. The cost amounted to hundreds of thousands.<\/p>\n

\u2018Are you enjoying your meal?\u2019 The waiter looks at the adult men with slight disdain as they try to stop laughing hysterically.<\/p>\n

\u2018Yes\u2019, says John, as he wipes the tears from his eyes. \u2018We certainly are.\u2019 They both burst into laughter once again.<\/p>\n

Safe as an airplane<\/h2>\n

When the laughter has subsided, John musters a serious look and says: \u2018You know, Wolfgang, when I was a little boy, I wanted to be a pilot and I was given a session in a real flight simulator for my twelfth birthday. I remember doing all these checks and complaining about how they are a waste of my time. Until the instructor said: \u201cIf you don\u2019t do them, you might crash within five minutes, is that what you want?\u201d<\/p>\n

The EZ-GO app is something similar: it is an easy, standardised way of doing all the checks and operations properly in order to prevent any problems from emerging.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Safety first.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Safety first, including for the operators, at all levels. Partly because we do things better now, but also because we keep improving. There used to be a spot where newcomers would always bump their heads: solved. A section of the floor that used to be wet all the time: solved.\u2019<\/p>\n

Wolfgang leans back, drinks his final sip of wine and says: \u2018John, I must admit, I see the added value. But I\u2019m not looking forward to starting up the project.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Don\u2019t worry\u2019, John assures him. ‘It is a whistle of a cent.’<\/p>\n

‘A what?’<\/p>\n

‘Excuse me, Dutch expression. Our way of saying: a piece of cake.<\/p>\n

Easy implementation<\/h2>\n

John proceeds: \u2018First of all, if I were you, I would invite the guys from EZ Factory to Germany, to meet your best operators, Herr M\u00fcller and some production managers who still need to be persuaded. EZ Factory will demo the product, explain how to populate the app, it comes with all the languages you need, and you\u2019re ready to go.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018What languages does it offer? I\u2019m going to need Thai and Russian, for example.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018If they haven\u2019t got those yet, they will make sure to implement them. I had a Portuguese version within a week. The rest of the content is created by you. And it is largely visual.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018How long did it take for this factory?\u2019<\/p>\n

Two weeks for the first line and about a week for each subsequent line.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018What? That quick?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It depends on the number of people you deploy, but I did it with three operators whose production schedule I freed up completely for a couple of days. We were done before we knew it. I recommend to do it quickly so everyone will notice the result. Plus, it is fun for your operators and team leaders. Once you\u2019re done in Germany, you send them to the next location to instruct their local colleagues. A trip to Brazil, China or Spain, wouldn\u2019t most operators sign up for that?\u2019<\/p>\n

Wolfgang nods. \u2018But we do need a server for all that data.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Nope, it\u2019s all cloud-based.\u2019 John leans forward and dampens his voice. \u2018I heard they use the same server as Amazon, with the same capacity and security, so it shouldn\u2019t be a problem.\u2019<\/p>\n

Wolfgang writes: secure data, and flicks through his notebook which is now filled with lots of exclamation marks and circles. He\u2019s got everything he needs, now for merging it all into a cohesive report. The thought prompts a deep sigh.<\/p>\n

John chuckles. \u2018Don\u2019t you find paperwork annoying? If only there was an app for that as well.\u2019<\/p>\n
