Daily Management System

1. Process-based KPIs and Standards

Each critical process is linked to:

• clearly defined KPIs

• standards and target conditions

• visible deviation thresholds

KPIs must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-related) and site-specific.

2. Visual Management

Visual boards and indicators make the current situation immediately clear:

• what is on standard

• what is off standard

• what is under control

• what requires escalation

Visual management ensures shared understanding between operators, supervisors, and managers.

3. Daily Audit Tours (Gemba Walks)

Managers conduct structured daily plant tours to:

• observe real shop-floor conditions

• verify understanding of KPIs and standards

• confirm corrective actions

• coach people where misunderstandings exist

The audit tour is not an inspection—it is a management and coaching process.

4. Reaction Rules and Escalation

For every critical deviation, DMS defines:

• trigger conditions

• escalation levels (typically green / yellow / red)

• clear responsibilities by role

• predefined reaction rules

This allows immediate response without waiting for meetings or approvals, ensuring speed and consistency.
