Manage daily problems with PDCA
Capture daily operational issues, assign owners and due dates, and track every corrective action through closure.
Manage every PDCA action in one workflow
PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) is a core continuous-improvement method used in lean operations.
Instead of discussing a problem once and forgetting it, PDCA lets you plan, implement, check and standardize successful countermeasures. The digital panel keeps the owner and due date of every action visible.
Talk to an Expert →Make problems visible
The panel makes daily problems visible and enables actions to be planned.
Owner and due-date tracking
Every action is tracked with its owner and due date.
Automatic reporting
Delays, risks and bottlenecks are reported automatically by the system.
Priority problems
The system flags deviations and links them to the relevant performance data for investigation.
Instant tracking in meetings
In the daily tier meeting (Asakai), the entire PDCA flow is followed from a single screen.
Build a reusable problem-solving knowledge base
Every solved problem and action taken is recorded, building a reusable problem-solving knowledge base.
Connect corrective actions with performance results in Gemba OpXSuite
Six steps work as one flow: collect data, review plant performance, monitor KPIs, manage daily performance, prioritize deviations and verify the impact of corrective actions.
Data collection
Data flow is established from SQL, Oracle, ERP, SCADA, MES and Excel sources.
Overall factory performance
Daily summary of the factory; indicators outside target stand out.
SQCDM
Indicators are monitored in the structure of safety, quality, cost, delivery and morale.
Daily KPI / performance
Targets are defined, daily data is managed from one place.
Pareto – deviation management
Deviations are ranked by impact and priorities are set.
PDCA
An owner and due date are assigned; the impact is verified in the indicators.
PDCA actions together with performance indicators
In daily Asakai meetings, PDCA actions are tracked together with performance indicators.
- A single-screen flow that speeds up the problem-solving cycle.
- A shared view that strengthens communication between teams.
- A reusable knowledge base built from recorded, solved problems.
How is it used on the shopfloor?
The problem is defined, the action is planned, an owner and due date are assigned.
The action is carried out on the shopfloor; status is updated from the panel.
The impact of the action is monitored in the performance indicators.
The solution is standardized; the outcome is documented for future reference and reuse.
One shared view, with the right level of detail for every role
- Problem owner. Sees their actions, due dates and statuses in a single list.
- Shift supervisor. Reviews open and overdue actions with the team in the daily meeting.
- Department manager. Tracks delays and risks with automatic reports.
- Process improvement. Records solved problems and prevents their recurrence.
Works with your existing systems
OpXSuite connects to your existing databases and source systems without creating an additional data-entry burden.
