A definition in a few words

A team is a group of individuals brought together to collaborate on common subjects and to meet regularly.

This group of people shares:

  • a theme (production, quality, maintenance, etc.) AND

  • a scope of action (production line, production unit, site, etc.).

Individuals taking turns in roles (morning, afternoon, night, etc.) within the same scope are considered to be part of a single team.

You have access and you only see the teams you are belonging to.

Each team has a level that matches to its place in your performance cascade. Generally, level 1 being the workshop level and the highest number being the site management level or corporate management level.

A Fabriq team indicates a team in the organization. We will reproduce your organization with production teams, support teams, management teams, etc.

To know if you need a team, ask yourself if the group of people holds meetings in common and needs to follow indicators or task plans in a centralized way. If yes, this group of people needs to have a team in Fabriq.

Presentation of the team structure

A team is composed of 5 tabs:

  • DASHBOARD

  • ROUTINES

  • TASK PLAN

  • PERFORMANCE

  • ANNOUCEMENT

Each tab is used for a specific use case in Fabriq.

Focus on dashboards

Dashboards are used for your meetings and for visual management. You can customize them by choosing to display the elements you want as widgets. You can create several views according to your needs.

Does a team represent a shift?

There are two ways to manage production team shifts in Fabriq.

Either one team corresponds to one shift, the morning will have one team, the afternoon another team and the night another team.

Or the three shifts are using the same team and each shift creates customized dashboard views.

We recommend that you take the second option, as the topics addressed by the 3 shifts of the same team are generally the same. If you choose option 1 shift = 1 team, all topics will have to be shared between the different teams, creating an asymmetry of information between shifts.
