Hey everyone! I wanted to share an application that we built recently over at Tulip that can help people in operations manage their kaizen funnel and the associated continuous improvement activities. There is typically a good amount administrative burden associated with managing a kaizen funnel and this can sometimes present a challenge to really embracing kaizen culture at all levels of the business. This application is meant to be out on the shop floor for anyone to grab and submit a kaizen opportunity.
Take a look at this short video that showcases a way for people to use Tulip to help manage this process. Please feel free share your thoughts, questions, and comments if you’d like!
@tomczada gladly! I’ll post a video if that would be easier but let me try with images for now.
The variable being pulled from the connector is the query and table being displayed. I am using an offset and limit function to only show 5 records at a time, which I page through.
On top of the query I have invisible buttons, each button pulls a different index from the variable/array:
Whenever a button is pressed, that index is stored in an array called “selected array”. This is the array that I will use to expose more detail. I’ll also manipulate this array (changing the status, for example) and then running an update sql connector using that array as the source.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
Thanks
Mark
@zaidzaki , since this application has been released the Tulip platform has improved greatly. The app shown here relies on an external postgres database - with the new features related to tables there is a much better way to do this. I actually wouldn’t recommend this application anymore.
A very close approximation of this application can be found in the library (linked below). I think that it makes a lot of sense to make a new application specific to kaizen funnels, as well. In the short term, the app, below, covers much of the same functionality.
