How to plan the steps for a card

Summary

The Steps tab in a card is used to plan labor time, equipment time, equipment used and steps will be made when passing the card through the value stream.

 Plan the Steps

  1. Go to Planning -> Projects.

  2. Select a project, click on Cards at the top of the project, select a card, then click on the Steps tab. 

  3. Here are the fields to fill in the Steps tab:

    1. Determines whether the step is to be done.

    2. When checked, the step's planned time will not be multiplied by the card's batch size.

    3. Determines whether the card will be exploded after the step. The batch size will equal the number of cards created. So if a card has a lot size of 5, it will be exploded into 5 cards with a lot size of 1.

    4. Shows the value stream and step title.

    5. Enter the planned labor time.

    6. Shows the total lot size multiplied by the planned labor time.

    8. Displays the total lot size multiplied by the planned equipment time.

    9. Upload an instruction file or technical drawing (optional).

    10. Choose a Workstation (optional). The workstation determines which equipment will be used. If the field is not filled in, any equipment can be used.

    11. Insert a checklist. To create the list, click on the +, then insert a title and description. The list will need to be checked off before progressing to the next step. You can also add a photo. When the list conforms, the button turns green.
