What is the F-Tag module?

Learn how the F-Tag module helps you raise, assign, fix and verify problems found on the shop floor.

Written by Angad Singh

The F-Tag module is for problems found on the floor, such as safety hazards, quality defects, equipment abnormalities, leaks or 5S issues.

Anyone can raise a tag. It's assigned to the right person, fixed, and verified.

How a tag works

  1. Raise: on the web or mobile app, choose the tag type, location, priority and a description, and add a photo. Scan a location QR code to fill in the location automatically.

  2. Assign: the tag goes to the right person automatically based on your settings, or it's assigned manually.

  3. Fix: the assignee works on it, adds comments and attachments, and updates the status.

  4. Escalate (optional): if it can't be fixed at this level, escalate it to the next tier.

  5. Verify and close: an approver checks the fix and closes the tag.

Ways to view tags

Open the module by clicking Tag on your home page. The left menu gives you each view:

Tag left menu with Tag Dashboard, Floor Plan, Kanban Board, Tag Reports and Tag Settings
  • Tag Dashboard list, with filters, group-by and saved views

  • Kanban Board by status

  • Floor Plan showing tags on a map of your facility

  • Tag Reports

Tag types

Your site decides which tag types to use. Each type can have its own color and routing.

Example: Tag types such as Safety, Quality, Environment, Autonomous Maintenance and Professional Maintenance.

From tag to improvement

If the root cause needs a bigger fix, start a Kaizen from the tag.
