Approaching dynamic and individual worker information systems

Dynamic and individual worker information can provide support to shop floor workers producing numerous product variants, and fulfilling high quality and productivity goals. Building on previous research, we present eight system functions of dynamic and individual worker information systems, and then derive three types of necessary system elements. In this article, we focus on the development of data models, such as process attributes and worker information packages. They are processed by sets of rules which help determine the relevant information, depending on the dynamic or individual context. Finally, we introduce views - to present information - including color-coded order buttons and process chains.
