Popis: Due to the growing presence of digital technologies in factories, an increasing number of automated processes systematically record various data such as timestamps, product IDs, quantities, and defects. However, this is still not the case for many manual assembly lines, which often rely on manual data acquisition where workers, in addition to the assembly tasks, are asked to record data manually. Such manual data generation can significantly reduce the data quality and increase the variation of the data. In this paper, the authors study this problem by conducting a case study of a manufacturer of engine components based in Switzerland. The paper examines the antecedents of deviations in manually collected assembly line data-both from a technical and behavioral perspective. Based on the findings, a model is developed for the case company that compares manually collected data to the same data in the planning systems to identify and act on data discrepancies. The paper concludes with practical guidelines on how to mitigate data quality loss in manual assembly.
