How To...
Define the Operational Context
Fot the Tier L3 level, the operational context is defined by selecting the specific week for review. This configuration allows the system to isolate the necessary timeframe for strategic analysis, updating the dashboard with aggregated data and weekly trends essential for overall plant governance.
Select Week
The main header displays the current plant name and the reference week (e.g., W 07 2026), providing an immediate overview of the analysis timeframe. This section serves as a quick-access control hub, allowing users to manage meeting sessions, import KPI data, and handle operational actions directly.
KPI Visualization and Analysis
After selecting the context parameters, the dashboard automatically updates the performance metrics displayed on the page. The system organizes data into primary categories, such as Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Inventory.
The user can switch the dashboard focus by selecting:
KPI Trend: View the performance trends of various KPIs categorized by Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Inventory for the selected date.
Trend: Toggle to view historical performance trends and graphical representations of KPIs over time.
Actions: Switch the dashboard focus from KPI metrics to the list of open actions and tasks.
For each category, users can monitor real-time performance metrics by comparing current values against set targets. For instance, the Delivery category displays the Return on Time value relative to its predefined goal.

Cancel: Use the Cancel button to exit editing mode without saving any changes.
Create New Action
The "New Action" button facilitates the immediate recording of tasks or issues identified during the meeting.
The input form allows for the definition of key parameters for each newly created operational task
Module and Location: Select the Module, production Line, and Category to contextualize the event.
Hierarchy and Source: Define the Source Tier (origin level) and the Assigned Tier (the level to which the action is assigned for resolution).
Identification: Enter a descriptive Title for the Action.
Time Management: Verify the Creation Date (automatically set by the system) and use the calendar to select the Due Date (deadline) for task completion.
Responsibility: Identify the Owner (the user who opened the report) and the Raiser (the user assigned to handle the task).
Collaboration and Attachments: Use the right-hand section of the form to attach supporting files or initiate a chat to discuss action details in real time.
Once the new action is created, it will be displayed both in the report at the bottom of the page and in the "Actions Overview L3" section, provided that the assigned level remains unchanged. If the level is modified during creation, the action will only be visible within the dashboard of the corresponding Tier.
