How to make yamazumi chart by Geneo

"A Yamazumi chart is a powerful visual tool used in lean operations to instantly reveal how work is distributed across a process or team. By stacking tasks in a bar chart format, it highlights imbalances, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement at a glance. Originally developed for manufacturing lines, Yamazumi charts are now widely used in any environment where optimizing flow and efficiency matters. They make it easy to see which steps take the most time, which operators are overloaded, and where processes can be streamlined; all in a single, easy-to-understand view.

GENEO streamlines this process through GEN-OPS, with real-time digital rebalancing of workflows between workstations. Unlike other solutions, GEN-OPS uniquely creates the Yamazumi chart directly from actual work instructions the operators use, ensuring an accurate and dynamic representation of production balance. By efficiently documenting every production option, GEN-OPS empowers manufacturers to adjust the production mix on the fly to reflect real-world customer fluctuations which is only possible due to the robust digital standardization system designed by GENEO.

Workloads can be redistributed based on cycle time data and live production mix. Manufacturers can optimize the efficiency of a production line, adapt to shifting customer demands and mitigate disruptions. This enhanced visibility and transparency allows managers to track performance, pinpoint improvement opportunities, and allocate resources more effectively.

By embracing GEN-OPS and its digital rebalancing capabilities, businesses can dramatically reduce waste, boost productivity, and maintain a decisive competitive edge in an ever-evolving market."
