1.1 Strategy & Operating Model

  1. We quantify unmet demand and regularly use that data to guide capacity decisions.
  2. We analyze and track growth attribution (market expansion vs. share gain) as part of regular business review.
  3. Our team applies a defined production system (TPS, lean, or equivalent) in day-to-day decision-making.
  4. We use strategy-deployment methods to align daily execution with annual goals.
  5. We measure and reduce lead-time relative to our industry competitors.

2.1 Operational Excellence Practices

  1. We quantify the financial impact of efficiency and effectiveness improvements before undertaking them.
  2. We identify and track constraints in our manufacturing process as part of ongoing management.
  3. Operators and leaders follow defined standard work for their daily roles.
  4. Production, quality, supply chain, product dev, and sales coordinate seamlessly day-to-day.
  5. We perform changeovers between different products quickly enough to meet production demand.

3.1 Information Visibility

  1. We analyze and review cost buildup across our production operations.
  2. We update quoting with live cost data before confirming every order.
  3. We collect and review data on waste in our operations.
  4. We track and analyze the cost of both quality conformance and failures.
  5. We measure and track value-add vs. non-value-add time in our production process.
  6. We measure and review cash-to-cash cycle time for each product.

4.1 Systems & Data Integration

  1. We collect detailed data on production activities throughout the manufacturing process.
  2. Our systems capture the cause behind exceptions, not just the occurrence.
  3. Our systems make deviations from standard visible on the shop floor in real time.
  4. We replan across the full horizon — from S&OP through detailed scheduling — frequently enough to stay ahead of change.

5.1 People Capability & Development

  1. We actively assess and reassign people to ensure the right skills and mindset are matched to each role.
  2. We provide our people the training they need to do their jobs effectively.
  3. We provide our people the tools they need to do their jobs effectively.
  4. We give our people a clear path for growth and development.

6.1 Resilience & Agility

  1. We regularly monitor and update mitigation strategies for international supplier disruption risk.
  2. We regularly monitor and update mitigation strategies for international customer and demand disruption risk.
  3. Our production process flexes quickly to changes in mix or volume.
  4. We can capture demand surges when they occur without losing the upside.
