Strengthening daily operational control
The daily management system assessment provides an end-to-end review of how effectively a site, business unit, or value stream is managing daily operations.
By evaluating the full scope of your daily management system, we identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement to enhance operational effectiveness, drive alignment with strategic objectives, and help develop meaningful metrics that drive results.
Our Approach
We conduct a comprehensive review of your daily management system, assessing its effectiveness across all relevant tiers of management.
This includes:
01.
KPI development and strategy alignment: How key metrics are defined, targeted, and linked to business objectives.
02.
Visual management: How information is displayed through boards, screens, and other visual tools to support decision-making.
03.
Meeting structures and effectiveness: Evaluating the clarity, purpose, standardisation, and discipline of daily and weekly meetings.
04.
Leader standard work: Assessing the extent to which leadership routines and behaviours support a continuous improvement culture.
05.
Escalation procedures: Ensuring a structured approach to raising and resolving issues at the appropriate level.
06.
Follow-up and continuous improvement: Reviewing how actions, problem-solving efforts, and engagement drive sustained improvements.
