In a typical production environment a lot of things can go wrong unless properly monitored and controlled, what are your monitoring procedures?

one of the best ways to control the production is the daily followup for the work in details with the responsible people by arrange meeting everyday for10 minutes to take from them breif notes on what are going and update your information daily and the other way to let ISO procedures if you have in your factory going on and control any problem coming during the work 

Make sure that all machines are working fine and that maintenance is regularly done; and ensure that all safety guidelines are respected by employees.

1 - Design and created the system. تصميم النظام وإنشاؤه.

2 - information collection and management. جمع المعلومات وإدارتها.

3 - thinking critically in order to improve the work. التفكير بطريقة ناقدة من أجل تحسين العمل.

4 - reporting and the preparation of reports on the results. الإبلاغ وإعداد التقارير عن النتائج.

The best way is to implement to TPM ( Total Productive Maintenance) system which will take care of all the process.
The subject being enormous request you to search in web for more details.

The system should be designed and developed to properly monitor the health of the system by creating Alarms, indication infield as well as Alarms on DCS (Distributed Control System), so that operator can know exactly about the fault and can call maintenance persons to resolve it.

Field monitoring through Light indications / buzzers as well as monitoring in DCS room (through communication of control system to DCS Room).

As far has controlling is concerned, redundant system should designed so that in case of failure of one processor/PLC (primary) the secondary processor will take the responsibility in runtime (bumpless transfer), so that there will not any production lost.

To follow preventive & break down maintenance schedules as per technical manuals and your own practical experience.
Secondly, on line quality inspectors may be dedicated to monitor each & every step of production process.
Make your maintenance team strong through regular trainings and follow the rules as explained in Reliability Maintenance.

Daily Data Analysis For Production, Performance , Availability, Q.C., Breakdowns, Maintenace Downtimes, Overtime,HR,  And Most Of All OEE Analysis For All Lines

Documented evidences of the process and collaborative supervisors could be the first steps to monitor each process.
Cameras monitoring system could be useful in the complicated cases.

1.daily check sheets monitoring(machine, product) - this means the comparison of standard values to the actual data.

2. Manpower efficiency 

3. Data analysis - ex. Cp, cpk method

4. Preventive maintenance of machines.

5. Correct and appropriate measuring instruments to be use.
