Measurements usually stop at the people who took them. The line supervisor, the process engineer, the buyer and the supplier all make decisions that the same numbers would inform, and most of them are working from a report that reached them days late.
Viewers need a browser and nothing else
Everyone below reads the same measurement data. They differ in how much of it they can see and what they are allowed to do with it.
Quality engineers
Set up the control charts and capability studies once and the weekly rebuild goes away. The time it took goes into investigating what the charts flag.
Line supervisors
A dashboard runs unattended by the cell in kiosk mode, cycling through the current parts. The shift can see how the night went on the way past it.
Process & design engineers
Change the time range, switch the part, compare two cavities. Work that used to mean filing a data request and waiting for it is now a dropdown.
Suppliers & customers
A scoped link that shows their own parts and nothing else. It stays current after you send it, which a PDF attachment does not.
Permissions come from Grafana, which has had years of hardening behind it in environments a good deal less forgiving than a factory. Opening a dashboard up is quick, and so is pulling it back.
Some audiences warrant a full account. Others need one chart, once, and there are lighter options for them.
If you decide to stop using KensoBI, you keep the measurement data and the dashboards you built on top of it. Both are in formats you can read without us.
The plants that get value from this rarely begin with a programme to transform quality reporting. They begin with one chart that settles one argument, and it spreads from there because people ask for their own.
Install the free SPC panel, point it at the measurement table and put the real control limits on a screen. The open source plugins cover this step.
Read access for the handful of people already in the conversation. Someone usually asks for their own line to be added at this point.
Kiosk mode on a cheap panel by the cell, viewable without an account. This is where the shift starts spotting drift for itself.
Now it is worth setting up properly: teams for the departments, a scoped folder per supplier, single sign-on so nobody manages passwords.
Pick the characteristic that comes up in every meeting, put it on a control chart and share the link. It takes an afternoon with the free plugins.
