Abstract

A system receives operations data and determines operations indicator(s) from the operations data. An operator on a manufacturing line reports a downtime event via a human machine interface device. The system receives downtime event and uptime information. The system calculates an operations indicator, such as an overall equipment effectiveness indicator, from the downtime event and uptime information. A user interface of the system includes the operations indicator(s) and visualizations. Some visualizations include a timeline indicating downtime events and other operations events. Additional downtime and uptime information is received by the system in substantially real-time. The system dynamically calculates updated operations indicator(s) from the additional downtime and uptime information.
