Gather progress from the floor

Let technicians and operators report what they did from where they are, without logging into a system or filling in a spreadsheet.

How it is done today

What hurts today.

  • Progress arrives by word of mouth, late or never.

  • Copying by hand what the technician said brings in errors.

  • Whoever does not use a computer is left out of the system.

Whoever does the work on the floor has no computer and no time to log into a system. Their progress arrives by word of mouth, in a stray message or at next week’s meeting, and the analyst copies it by hand into the plan and the indicators. What does not arrive on time leaves the plan behind, and what is copied wrong, full of errors.

Each step, today and with Elmira.

The technician tells Elmira on WhatsApp, in writing or in a voice note, what they did and what they measured, and she marks the action done and records the value in its period.

    Elmira, I replaced the sealer’s blades. Today we stopped for 25 minutes for the change.

  2. I did this:

    Marked “Replace the sealer’s blades” done.

    Recorded 25 in “Downtime minutes” for October 14, 2026.
