03 / PMS / KANBAN

PMS brings metrics, trends, shop-floor inputs, and weekly performance into one workspace. Digital Kanban turns deviations into assigned actions, reviews, and effectiveness checks, so meetings lead to changes on the shop floor.

01 / PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Go beyond SQDC metrics—
take action and follow through.

The PMS application brings together performance metrics, shop-floor inputs, supporting documents, weekly summaries, Pareto analysis, and production plans. Managers can investigate the causes behind results, and teams can act on performance gaps.

S

SAFETY

Safety

Manage incident severity, reported risks, actions, and lessons learned as part of daily safety work, beyond simply counting outcomes.

Q

QUALITY

Quality

See first-pass yield, defect trends, and open issues together, then investigate causes and track corrective actions.

D

DELIVERY

Delivery

Review plan attainment, output, bottlenecks, and production risks over the same period.

C

COST

Cost

Connect efficiency, labor hours, losses, and resource use to identify practical cost improvements on the shop floor.

02 / CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

After seeing the deviation,
you need a clear path to resolution.

The Kanban application routes issues by impact and complexity and tracks owners, target dates, active RCPS and Kaizen work, reviews, and effectiveness. Teams can follow each issue from discussion through resolution.

STEP 01

Issue intake

Turn SQDC deviations, shop-floor events, and employee feedback into issues with clear ownership.

STEP 02

Triage

Route issues by business impact and complexity to Just Do It, four-step RCPS, 8D, or Kaizen.

STEP 03

Action

Define the owner, target completion date, required resources, and current status.

STEP 04

Review

Review both the results and the process before considering an issue resolved, beyond simply completing a form.

STEP 05

Learning

Turn proven countermeasures into standards, shared lessons, and preventive action.

03 / REAL PRODUCT

Two perspectives,
one shared improvement process.

PMS identifies performance gaps and helps explain their causes. Kanban routes issues to the right response, tracks actions, and verifies results. Together, they connect performance reviews with day-to-day improvement.

04 / DESIGNED FOR USE

More than a display—
but a workspace for daily teamwork.

Target vs. actual

Compare targets, trends, and deviations over the same reporting period.

Clear ownership

Every action has an owner, a deadline, and a visible status.

Meeting rhythm

Adapt to the operating rhythm at different levels of daily, weekly and monthly.

continuous learning

Use resolved issues to improve standards, share lessons, and prevent recurrence.

SQDC performance boards and continuous improvement

PMS focuses on manufacturing performance. Digital Kanban tracks problem solving and improvement actions, connecting performance gaps with the work needed to address them.

Manufacturing performance management and SQDC boards

Bring safety, quality, delivery and cost metrics together with trends, Pareto analysis and weekly reviews, giving teams a shared basis for shop-floor visual management and performance analysis.

Digital Kanban, RCPS / 8D and Kaizen management

Route issues to quick actions, root cause problem solving (RCPS), 8D or Kaizen according to their impact and complexity. Track owners, due dates, reviews and effectiveness checks. These boards manage improvement work rather than material replenishment.

If the same problems recur every week,
another spreadsheet may not be the answer.
