Lean Enterprise Software Solutions announce a major expansion to the reporting capabilities of LPA Admin. These modifications are being delivered to our clients at no additional cost. These changes assist management in analyzing their LPA data at a much deeper level than before. The added features should increase the effectiveness of their LPA program and assist them in continually improving quality. The changes to LPA Admin include:
· Added four additional criteria to build Custom Reports
· Designed and built an additional reporting system called Dashboard that allows users to build and save custom dashboard(s) with only the data items that they are interested in reviewing
· Users control time period of Dashboard Reports
· Ability to convert Dashboard Reports to an Excel format to allow users to utilize the data for charting and graphing in their company’s custom format
Additional Custom Report Criteria
Auditors, Custom Field #1 (Machine #), Custom Field # 2 (Tooling #), and Custom Field #3 (Operator) have been added to the Custom Report Builder. Note: in this exhibit the Custom Fields have been chosen as Machine #, Tooling #, and Operator. The three Custom Fields may be uniquely named by each LPA Admin client. Possible Custom Fields may be Machine #, Tooling #, Part #, Jig #, Line, Cell, Operator #, Spec #, Router, Job Order … etc.
Custom Field Data
Management team must determine when they want the data entered into the Custom Fields before training their auditors. They have two different options and each will give them different reporting capabilities. Option 1: Only enter data in the custom fields when an auditor finds a non-conformance. This will allow management to create unique reports for the custom fields that have non-conformances. Option 2: Have the data entered in the custom fields for every audit by the auditor. This would allow one to create unique reports for the custom fields for audits with and without non-conformances. Example: Management wants the capability to know how many audits were done on machine # A-784 last month. This would require the data to be entered using Option 2.
Auditors simply need to enter the Custom Field data per management’s criteria when entering the other audit data before selecting Save Changes.
Additional Custom Report Capabilities
Management may now build the six different custom reports using the additional filter criteria: Auditors, Custom Field #1, Custom Field #2, and Custom Field #3. The report timeframe may range from a single day up to 3 years and is determined by selecting dates on the Begin and End calendars or by choosing a date range from the Date Range Quick List dropdown . Like all of our reports, the user has the option to export the report in a number of different formats, to retain the information in their computer files, or provide it to outside interested parties.
Added Dashboard Report
A new webpage called My Dashboard was added for each user of LPA Admin to allow them to see their data in a different format. A Dashboard sorts the data and lists it for only the Parameters one chooses. This webpage will welcome each person by name and the information they save under My Saved Dashboards are dashboards that only appear on their webpage. The report timeframe may range from a single day up to 3 years and is determined by selecting dates on the Begin and End calendars or by choosing a date range from the Date Range Quick List dropdown .
Building Custom Dashboard Reports
A Custom Dashboard Report may be easily built by choosing the criteria from the Parameters using the dropdown menu and then selecting the Show in Dashboard that they want listed on your Dashboard.
Then select the Dashboard Type either Audits Planned, Completed, Missed or Non-Conformance and Build Dashboard.
Dashboard Reports In Excel Format
Custom Dashboard may be converted to an Excel format that allows users to utilize the data for charting and graphing in their company’s custom format.
Saved Dashboard will look like this when saved in Excel
One can make changes in Excel such as highlighting areas of interest.
Example of making a chart from the data above.
