QR Andon

Ask for help where the work gets stuck

A problem on the floor should not depend on finding the right person or sending another message. Scan a location's QR sign, raise an Andon without logging in, and give your team a signal they can acknowledge, resolve, and bring into daily improvement.

Available on Starter and above.

The Andon workspace before the first signal. staff can filter by location, reason, and status. This empty workspace shows the setup state, not customer outcomes; timed delivery requires a configured notification worker. Example data shown.

Small problems keep returning when requests for help disappear before anyone follows up.

Start with the work that is getting stuck

An existing site and department, a named location, reasons for raising a signal, and the people who should be notified.

Keep the next step visible

Set up and print a QR sign. Anyone at the location can select a reason and optionally add details, a photo, or a name. Staff acknowledge and resolve the signal, discuss it in the Daily Huddle, and create or link an improvement when further work is needed.

See what moved and what needs attention

Location-linked signals with response and resolution history, potential recurring patterns, and connections to existing improvements, KPIs, and reports.

A learning cycle

An idea should have somewhere to go next.

A proposal becomes useful when the team can test it, check what changed, and decide what to keep.

  1. Plan

    Name the problem, owner, expected change, and measure.

  2. Do

    Try the change on a scale the team can review.

  3. Check

    Compare what happened with the expectation and evidence.

  4. Act: standardize or adjust

    Make the agreed method clear when the test holds. If it does not, adapt the change and test again.

What did we learn from the change?The team decides whether to keep, adjust, or try again.

Keep the request for help connected to the response

One Place to Follow Up

Use the existing team workspace to acknowledge a request, record its resolution, or bring it into the Daily Huddle. Link an improvement for deeper investigation and relevant KPIs for context without duplicating the team's records.

Keep improvement moving

Included with Starter and Pro, not Lite. Public QR reporting needs no account or paid seat and uses no AI credits. Optional names do not establish identity or automatically earn Kaizen Points. Timed escalation requires a verified notification worker. Andon is not an emergency service; follow your workplace's emergency procedures.
