START WITH THE PROBLEM
Choose the work in front of you. Get a practical starting point.
You know the work.
Let’s find a useful starting point.
START HERE · Not enough people
Compare workload with productive time and the people available.
An arithmetic starting point for the staffing discussion. Check skills and process limits.
Use Staffing calculator →START HERE · Missing production target
Separate downtime, speed and quality loss in equipment output.
Which loss component needs attention before setting a recovery plan.
Use OEE & loss explorer →START HERE · Too much downtime
Rank recorded downtime categories using minutes on the same basis.
Where the lost time concentrates; the largest category is not yet a root cause.
Use Pareto Priority Lab →START HERE · Repeated quality issue
Find whether one defect category drives most of the recorded problem.
A clear focus for evidence collection. Then organize possible causes with Fishbone and test a path with 5 Whys.
Use Pareto Priority Lab →START HERE · Long cycle time
Observe comparable cycles and compare them with the pace demand requires.
The distribution of observed times, with the work boundary and units made clear.
Use Time Study Lab →START HERE · Too much changeover time
Time defined changeover steps before changing the sequence.
Where setup time goes. Review internal and external work safely with the people doing it.
Use Time Study Lab →START HERE · Too many problems at once
Put comparable problems on one measure: count, time or cost.
Which category deserves the first investigation.
Use Pareto Priority Lab →START HERE · Understand the biggest loss
Rank observed loss categories and review their cumulative contribution.
What to investigate first, using the measure that fits the decision.
Use Pareto Priority Lab →START HERE · Find a root cause
Organize possible explanations and choose evidence checks.
Which hypotheses need testing; a diagram alone does not verify a cause.
Use Fishbone →START HERE · Justify an improvement
Compare time released with the assumptions behind its estimated value.
The difference between additional capacity and cash savings.
Use Value calculator →START HERE · Organize an improvement project
Connect the gap, evidence, target and next trial in a single story.
What the team knows, what remains uncertain and what to review next.
Use A3 improvement story →START HERE · Prepare a better shift handover
Record current status, unresolved issues and next actions.
What the incoming shift needs to check and who owns the next step.
Use Handover builder →START HERE · Map the process
Lay out actual steps, decisions, handoffs and waits.
Where the work loops or waits, within a clearly defined boundary.
Use Process-mapping tool →START HERE · Improve workplace organization
Review workplace conditions and record practical follow-up.
Which observations need an owner and review; this is not a safety certification.
Use 6S self-check →A practical guide, not an AI chat.
