| If the operator doesn’t like it, the system will
not easily gain acceptance.
This area not only covers the direct interaction with the
database, but mainly the assembly operators, who see paperwork
and `new toys` just getting in the way of targets and ultimately
their bonus at the end of the month.
K.I.S.S.
Keep it Simple Stupid ! is the method we adopt with the use
of barcode scanning and radio / batch terminal use. The operator
may only need to scan a label on the item being produced and
that’s it. No more filling out forms, no more job sheets,
suddenly they are free from `paperwork`.
We can also reduce the need for operator training by the
use of simple instructions on a terminal or by illuminating
a lamp under the items to be used from the shelf, known as
pick by light.
