This is a story of one Supervisor and how Standardized Work Change his performance.
What do we want LSW to be?
Support
- To much time spent off of the floor, not helping T/C & using T/C time to review after the fact (which is a waste of my time.)
- To many meetings by Supervisors again not helping me.
- To many programs of the mth when will mgmt follow thru and help us to complete something.
- Supervisors not even attending our team critical meetings, but we still have to waste our time attending
-15 Vacation request not signed
- Std Work Audits not being done by the Supervisor
- No review of our A3’s for support
Why do we have you! What is your
Responsibility???????
Our task is how do we help in
Developing Supervisors –
through Standardized Work.
Make expectation or vision clearly
understood
Align front line Supervisor with the Plant
Expectation
Establish Metrics
Start by making time for problem solving
– with team members
Provide ongoing feedback and coaching
Force Self Reflection (Supervisor – great
tool for developing future )
-Humble
-Coach and Teacher
Hold them accountable to expectation
What do we want LSW to be?
This is a wkly standardized work audit report
Josiah,
How do we get 100% audit completion rate?
This is Josiah Boss Mason asking
The Supervisors Comments back. Sound Familiar Give me an extra hour in the day? No, I'm kidding... I understand what Walt is saying about this and I
have since I first went through the training. I think the firefighting itself gets in the way most of the time,
but I can't place all the blame on that even though it does happen frequently. I try to get the SW Audits
completed before the 1:15pm break at the latest, but that's obviously not bullet-proof because I'll get
called elsewhere and have to take care of a problem and do follow-up afterward.
I'm a believer in peer accountability, and I think as we start implementing Standardized Work into our
Mini-Businesses we should start talking about it with each other just as we do with the team coordinators
and the operators we're observing during our audits. It needs to become part of our everyday routine
and discussion so that it's more of a focus. Right now, it still feels like that thing in the back of my mind
that I always "still need to get done." Joe on 6C does what he can to remind me if it's getting late in the
day, but it needs to become a more emphasized part of our regular daily operations. I think it would help
to "implement" it into our Production Meetings, Shift Notes, Shift Hand-Off, and everyday language or it'll
continue to be incomplete.
Other than that, the best thing I can think of is just setting a time for Standard Work Audits every day of
production and sticking to that time slot. If you have any other suggestions, maybe we could discuss it in
the next Shift Handoff tomorrow morning and just get all the BUM's together to talk about some ideas to
improve this. I know it's extremely important and we need to come up with a process for it just like
everything else.
"Hey, did you remember to do your Standard Work Audit?" needs to be eliminated from our daily
Moving from Firefighter
To Coach and teacher
Our objective through LSW is to
align Senior Mgmt to Operators by
connecting front line Supervisors with
a clear set of expectation and shared
vision.
We call this Alignment – Everybody
should have the same picture – What
is our shared Purpose.
How do we create LSW?
Set the expectation
•Problem Solver
•Teacher / Coach
•Data – Based
decisions
•Fairness /
Accountability
•Runs their Mini-
Business like a
business ownerHow do we create
LSW?
(First step 1)
Making time for
Problem Solving.
Start small - one
thing at a time –
review one small
problems
•Pareto – reoccurring
problems - what is the
source of the fires
•Fix one problem
for good
•This will create
more time
Every hour now the Supervisor
walks the shop floor.
Matching expectation with reality
No Blame - just gathering data &
Helping where necessary
And now that they have good data.
Helping the team in problems solvingHow do we create LSW?
(Step 2)
Never allow one bad hour to
creep into the next hour if you
can help it.
If you can’t help it document
every detail of the problem.
Wkly review with your team for
Any idea of what happen that last hour yesterday?
I talked to all the coordinators about that this
morning at 6:45, asked them how we lost 8-9
engines the last hour since we were up 5 at
one point. They said they had a lot of
gaps/weren't seeing a steady flow of engines.
Mason said he thought damper torque faulted
out at the end of the hour. So I didn't get a
clear answer on that. Like you said, it's
unacceptable and I should have been on that
right away. Gaps in the line could affect that if
issues were reported down the line toward the
beginning of the hour, but I don't have any

What is Leader Standard Work
Leader standard work defines what the leader will
check, when it will be checked, and how it will be
checked. It also defines how the leader will respond if
there is a problem.
– Looking for solid evidence of process control.
– Are things going as planned?
– Is anything abnormalities to the work cycles or flow of
material?
– Are quality checks being made as specified?
– Are problems being handled correctly, or worked around?1/5/2017 Cummins Confidential27

Summary
-Skills and behaviors of supervisors have
a tremendous impact on performance and
mindset of the operators
-The decision to develop high performing
supervisors is strategic, it will differentiate
you from your competition
-You should only make the investment if
you are willing to commit, training by itself
is a waste of time and money.
But if you are the
results are
outstanding!!!!!
