Tiered Huddle Board

Fifteen minutes, standing, at the board. Safety, quality, delivery, cost and people for the week, then the actions and what goes up a tier today.

Click a day to cycle it: blank, green, red. Green means the standard was met. Red means it was not, and every red gets a name and a date before the huddle ends.

Escalate when the team cannot close it inside 24 hours with the resources it controls. The tier above owes an answer by the next huddle, not a meeting invitation.

Working on something harder than a worksheet?

Tools do not fix processes. People with a method do.

I am David Fowles. I have spent 25 years in nuclear operations, power generation field service, manufacturing quality and supply chain, and I build the capability to keep an improvement after I leave. If one of these sheets has shown you something you would rather not solve alone, say so.
