For each question, select the option that best represents your team's current reality.
Be honest. This isn't a test; it's a tool for clarity.
1Visual Management & Daily Accountability
1Information Lag: When a critical issue happens on the shop floor, how quickly is that status accurately reflected on the board your senior leadership sees?
2Accountability & Action: On a scale of 1 (No Confidence) to 5 (Total Confidence), how confident are you that an action assigned during a Tier 1 meeting is tracked, escalated if necessary, and its status is visible to all relevant tiers without manual follow-up?
2Problem Solving & Organizational Learning
3Recurring Problems: If you experience a quality defect today, how many separate systems (spreadsheets, emails, local drives) would you need to check to find a related 8D or CAPA investigation from six months ago?
4The "Groundhog Day" Test: On a scale of 1 (Constantly) to 5 (Rarely), how often do your teams find themselves solving the same or very similar problems that were supposedly fixed months ago?
3Continuous Improvement (CI) & Impact
5Idea to Impact: What percentage of Kaizen ideas from the shop floor are captured, evaluated, and have their status tracked in a way that is visible to the person who suggested it?
6Benefit Realization: On a scale of 1 (Very Difficult) to 5 (Very Easy), how easy is it to quantify and report on the combined impact of all completed CI initiatives over the last quarter?
4System Connectivity & Intelligence
7Connecting the Dots: Your Tier Board shows a spike in downtime for Machine A. How many steps would it take to see if this correlates with recent 8D problem, CI project, or operator training gaps for that machine?
