  • Publication number: 20140098104
    Abstract: Techniques to present event information as event timing visualizations are described. An apparatus may comprise an event visualization application comprising an event information component operative to determine a set of events and associated time periods, and an event presentation component operative to generate an event timing visualization to present multiple graphical user interface (GUI) elements representing the set of events and associated time periods relative to a current time period, the event timing visualization comprising a first dimension representing a count of events and a second dimension representing a time period for events, wherein a position of the current time period is between a set of endpoints for the second dimension. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 8538791
    Abstract: Production flows/processes are presented through a layout distribution of kanban job symbols (cards, representing production tasks/jobs) in a sequence of execution inside several planning periods. A smart layout distribution algorithm displays a schedule consistent of planning periods and kanban job symbols planned in the planning periods. In addition to a variety of color, textual, graphic, and shading schemes, as well as, icons for providing visual information on the tasks/jobs, the algorithm fits the kanban job symbols within the user interface without scroll bars with a resizable control, and maintains kanban job symbol size proportional to capacity consumed, consistent across planning periods even if the planning periods have different total capacity or are overloaded.
