Factory Floor Assembly Process

This diagram shows a factory floor plan.

Diagram Flow
The diagram flows follows the path of the product being manufactured. The work flows
from the machine shop to the pre-paint area, to the paint shop and finally to the
packaging station.

Data
The data resides in an Excel file named “FactoryFloorAssemblyProcessData.xls”. The
table is named “FFData”. The data table has the following columns:
 Line #
 Units_Processed / hr
 UP Status
 Variance_to_plan
 Variance Status
 Rejct/rework_(# pcs)
 Reject Status
 DT_min_(machine specific)
 DT Status
 Rolled_Throughput_yield

Data Graphics
There are two different data graphics used in this diagram.

Data Graphic - Throughput

This data graphic is made up of two elements and is applied to the plant area labels.
 Rolled Throughput – This is a data bar element that displays the Rolled
Throughput yield on a speedometer with a minimum value of 0 and maximum of
1.
 Variance – This is a data bar element that displays the variance_to_plan data on a
scale of 0 to 4 stars with a minimum value of -20 and a maximum of 20.

Data Graphic - Machine

This data graphic is made up of four elements and is applied to the machine shapes.
 Variance – This is a data bar element that displays the variance_to_plan data on a
scale of 0 to 4 stars with a minimum value of -20 and a maximum of 20.
 Units/hr – This is a data bar element that displays the Units_Processed / hr data
with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum of 100.
 DT (min) – This is a data bar element that displays the DT_min_(machine specific)
data with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum of 100.
  Thruput – This is a data bar element that displays the Rolled Throughput yield on
a speedometer with a minimum value of 0 and maximum of 1.

Refreshing Data

5. Click “Next >”
6. Click “Ok” to select a new data source
7. With “FFData$” as the range you want to use, and “First row of data contains
column headings” checked, Click “Next >”
8. Click “Next >” to include all columns and all data
9. Click “Finish” to exit the Data Selector
