The andon board

The andon board (/build/andon) is a floor screen. It shows each work centre by state: running, idle, down, set up, or waiting for material. It shows the current order, quantity against plan, calls for material, and minutes down. A work centre is down only when all its machines are down or the whole centre is stopped. Otherwise it keeps its state and shows how many machines are down. You need build.read. Use /build/andon/PLACE for one place.
