Mingo Hierarchy

Explains how the Mingo Hierarchy is setup

The components in the Mingo Hierarchy are Company, Facility, Department, and Cells/Machines. In some instances, a Resource Group can be added to the hierarchy. 

• Company: the name of the business
• Facility: the different locations where this business is located
• Department: the division of a facility like molding, painting, packaging, staging, etc.
• Resource Group: mainly used for scheduling, this allows you to schedule a work order to a set of machines. Any machine on this resource group has visibility of the work order and is allowed to work on it.

• Cell/Machine: one machine or a line of machines acting like one inside that department 
  
  • Stations: a set of machines acting like one

The hierarchy functions like a waterfall. Any changes made to the company will affect facilities, departments, and cells/machines.

 If one or more metrics are changed at the facility level, this will cascade to the departments and machines attached to that facility and not the others. Table 1 shows you where the settings might be found.
