The power of Daily Meetings<br />
TOCICO 2008 Conference<br />
• We started a daily factory meeting. Whenever I was free, I would<br />
go g to the shop p floor, , the watchman would sounds the lunch siren.<br />
ALL the staff and workers would assemble at one point<br />
• We would run through the order priority list. The idea is to have a<br />
common understanding about which machine has priority over the<br />
other<br />
• For the workers who work on a ‘physical/ visible’ machine this was<br />
never a problem problem. However However, the man in the machine shop did not<br />
have a clue where his machined parts went.<br />
• Initially we had problems with every worker. Not enough machines<br />
to work on on, not enough helpers helpers, not enough help from the previous<br />
department etc.<br />
• Soon people started speaking the same language and started<br />
hhelping l i each h other. th They Th sorted t d out t th their i problems bl amongst t<br />
themselves and stopped mentioning it at the meetings<br />
