Tiered Daily Meetings

From Creating a Lean Culture,

1. Tier 1: Start of shift, led by production team leader with production team
2. Tier 2: Led by supervisor with production team leaders and any dedicated support group representatives
3. Tier 3: Led by value stream manager or equivalent with supervisors and support group representatives or staff members.
4. Tier 4: Led by plant manager with production and support staff members.  Focused on "run-the-business" as well as "improve-the-business" activities.

Characteristics of all meetings:

• Brief - rarely longer than 15 minutes
• Standing up
• Located immediately adjacent to and not physically separated from production floor
• Agenda and content defined by a visual display board
