Observe declared changeover phases
Name phases and tap actual last-good, phase and first-good boundaries.
For operators
Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.
Observe declared changeover phases
- Start a local timing study
Start a local timing study.
This lesson times your real practice taps with the browser clocks. It never measures a machine or validates a labour standard.
- Capture the exact station code
Capture the exact station code.
000017 is declared context. Scanning a station never starts the clock or operates a machine.
- Describe the observed activity
Describe the observed activity.
The activity is the observer’s description. It does not identify an employee or determine performance.
- Choose phase-by-phase changeover
Choose phase-by-phase changeover.
Last-good and first-good are your declared observation boundaries. The factory’s normal acceptance process still applies.
- Name the first observed phase
Name the first observed phase.
Give the first phase a plain name before timing begins.
- Move to changeover timing
Move to changeover timing.
Check the station, activity and first phase before starting your observation.
- Declare the last-good boundary
Declare the last-good boundary.
Start the real browser timer at your declared boundary. This is an observation, not an inspection decision.
- Name the next phase
Name the next phase.
Prepare the name before tapping the phase boundary.
- Record a phase boundary
Record a phase boundary.
The first phase ends and Fit tooling starts on this actual tap. All known phases contribute to whole changeover.
- Declare the first-good boundary
Declare the first-good boundary.
Finish the observation and review the known phases. A complete elapsed total never grants product release.
