Improvements

Rheo has improved the process of Process Improvements, transforming what was once a costly and time-consuming effort into a streamlined and efficient operation. It has made continuous improvement more accessible and effective for our team.

HOW DOES IT
WORK?

Rheo's Experiment module empowers Supervisors to make continuous incremental improvements on the shop floor everyday.

Rheo is a tool for Supervisors to perform Improvements rather than just the Continuous Improvements (CI) team. Further, CI Engineers can coach and train supervisors on how to make improvements on the line.

The result is bottoms-up idea generation from Supervisors, enabled by videos which provide transparency and continuous, incremental improvements.

Traditionally

Improvements are driven by small teams comprised of CI Teams / Engineers.

WITH RHEO

CI Teams can play a more strategic role as subject matter experts, while operations teams can run experiments independently.

RHEO has been a game-changer for our manufacturing operations. The real-time dashboard and actionable insights have significantly improved our decision-making, while the rapid improvement tools have streamlined our ability to experiment and optimize processes.

FEATURES

Paretos

Captured Root Cause data is automatically sorted, analyzed and prioritized. Automated paretos help Supervisors understand the ‘why’ behind inefficiencies and prioritize improvements in order of their impact.

VIDEO
PLAYBACK

The video timeline feature gives supervisors access to videos of all events/episodes that are taggable on the line, providing clarity and evidence through individual examples.

EXPERIMENT
MODULE

The Experiment module enables supervisors to initiate experiments on the Line, then validate, sustain and scale improvements with ease and accuracy. Since the scale of experiments is typically small, the time taken to validate and scale an improvement is significantly reduced.

time
studies

Rheo tablets coupled with wireless watches enable supervisors to conduct objective time studies on the shop floor and use it for Operator flexing and Line balancing.

ACTION
RECOMMENDATIONS

The Experiments module allows Supervisors to generate ideas, conduct experiments and validate them in real-time.

Automated improvement Action Recommendations enable Supervisors to make improvements independently.

WEARABLES

Rheo's wearables come in the form of Watches, Body cameras and Virtual Reality (VR) Headsets. They help automate data collection making the process both objective and accurate. Further, videos captured from Cameras on the line can be used to train Operators.

AI Capabilities

Rheo's AI oracle, O-Rheo can help accelerate Improvements with automated actions and recommendations that can save critical time and effort spent on non value-added tasks, allowing Supervisors to focus on making continuous, incremental kaizens.
