his allowed everyone to track their performance and make improvements where necessary. We also provided regular feedback to our hourly team members and operators on their performance and how they were contributing to the overall success of the business.
When implementing LSW in a production environment, it is important to involve all members of the production team in the process. This can help to ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities and that they are fully committed to the implementation of LSW.
"How do we know what to improve if we don't know what's happening?"
Your data displayed is either visible or visual. If the data is displayed and your business is “business as usual” then your data is visible - not visual. If it triggers actions based on gap identification resulting in an improved process then it is visual.
The art of using LSW as an improvement tool is to be able to read the sheet with your "process" eyes. What this means is not to focus on reds and ask "why didn't they get done?" What you are looking for as a lean leader are process gaps.
