Hello everyone, 

My leadership team and I would like to develop a SMART goal for our team around housekeeping/organization/cleanliness.  Our department is not bad in this regard, however we feel that a common goal for everyone will help drive improvements all around.  Things such as leaving common shop tools in vehicles or on a jobsite, defective parts left at a machine or not labeled as defective, and overall housekeeping come to mind.  I'd like to hear what others are using for metrics to drive better accountability short of supervisors following up on every single job which they currently do not have the capacity to do so.  Any ideas come to mind?

Hello Joe,

as I developed this with one of my clients, They do a once a month
surprise audit where they give grades to individual work stations for a
set of pre defined elemts like: all tools in place - no spots - all
safety measures met - clean desk policy and no business related papers
present - clear labeling - etc.

they did it for a fun prize like cake or small prizes but it did the effect!

Best regards

Hello all

I suggest to prepare a Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant And Time bounded appraisal for all peers by stopping an important equipment and try to find out the reason in time

Regards 

Ammar

Sounds like 6s could be implemented.

Do you currently use a CMMS that has inventory tracking?  You could use this as a means to gain data toward your SMART goals and apply metrics like returned tools, used and discarded parts (consumables) and maybe even sign in and sign out.  Having job plans associated with your work will also garner you some results in identifying the right parts for the jobs are being used.

One other item I might suggest was similar to Moataz's, wherein you use a job check with the supervisors.  Plan 4 or 5  work orders to go out to and perform a SWAT analysis on.  Have a checklist of specifics you would be looking to measure against.  Make sure that these finding get back into your work order documentation and have some key points of interest to report from.  Estimated vs Actual hrs, schedule achievement, would be two key KPIs you could use to follow-up with.  

Hope that information helps

Hi, Joe --

I suggest you might consider taking a cue from Behavior-Based Safety techniques.  A simple yes or no question, with a goal of maintaining 100% "yes" answers for a solid week, or for 50 consecutive observations, or such similar criteria.  All observations are anonymous.  You can get people from other departments involved in the observations as well.  Observation means simply seeing, and checking yes or no on a pocket card, every time the observer enters the area. 

Are all common tools in their proper places?
Are all unused parts removed when the job is done (returned to stores or marked for repair/rebuild/recycle/dispose)?
Is the workbench clear and clean?
Are the walkways unobstructed?

Pick two or three to start with and when you reach your goal reduce the observations on that one and pick another.  Celebrate successes in a small way, like a dessert meeting after lunchtime.

I sincerely hope this helps.
