leader currently on duty, take no more than 5 minutes, and will take place at the SQDC Board.
2. Metrics Definitions
a. Safety – The safety cross will be updated daily with incidences. 5S Audits will be conducted once every 2 weeks
with the audit Score Sheets posted upon completion of the 5S audits. The 5S audit scores will be tracked on an
annual tracking sheet.

solving will be performed as described below for failure to achieve target.

5. Board Maintenance
a. The board will be updated daily by the designated owner prior to team meeting.

Kaizen Newspaper. The owner will assess the scope of the problem and for those problems that are within the
control of the team the owner will gather necessary support associates and take appropriate corrective action
and record the actions taken on the Kaizen Newspaper. For problems falling outside the control of the team the
owner will initiate a CAR, record the CAR# on the Kaizen Newspaper, and place a copy of the CAR behind the
Kaizen Newspaper. When the CAR is complete that Kaizen Newspaper will be closed out.

production, the issue should be addressed by the department manager and other appropriate members of
management team with action items assigned to be completed as agreed.

the targeted metrics.
