Getting started as an admin

Set up LeanSuite for your site in your first week: users, plant structure, roles, a checklist, a KPI and your first report.

Written by Angad Singh

Set up LeanSuite for your site in your first week. Work through the six tasks in order; each one links to a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Who this is for: The site admin, usually the person who signed the onboarding plan.

Before you start: You have an admin account for your facility and the data pack from your LeanSuite onboarding lead (user list, plant structure, KPI list).

Time: About 3 hours across the first week.

Day 1: people and places

Home with the facility switcher open at the top left
  1. Check you are in the right facility with the facility switcher (top left).

  2. Add a line and assets: build the departments, lines, workstations and assets so every module's dropdowns show the right places.

  3. Add a user: upload your user list with the User Upload Template, or add people one by one.

  4. Create a role: create a Team leader role and an Operator role, switch on the permissions each needs, and add people to them.

Day 2: the daily routine

  1. Publish and schedule a checklist: publish your first start-of-shift check in Lean Creator and schedule it to the people, role or asset that should complete it.

  2. Build a KPI: create the first KPI for the board and enter its first value.

Day 3 to 5: run it and report

  1. Ask a team leader to follow Run the daily routine for one shift and tell you what was missing.

  2. Export a report: export the week's checks and issues for your first review with leadership.

What done looks like

  • Every operator can sign in with their Employee ID and sees a check under Assigned To Me.

  • Every team leader is in a role, sees My Team's Activities and can close and escalate issues.

  • One board shows the first KPI with a target.
