Task Observations An Approach of Continuously Improving Our Performance Together Joint shift observations with management team, supervisors Documentation of tasks, time & classification into value adding / necessary / waste activities Joint implementation on the shop floor with engineers. Supervisors with key role here. Daily Check Further checks upcoming Joint review of check with team and development of possible improvements / collection of issues to be resolved Development of guiding principles (e.g. standard sequence)+ target times which shall apply for future checks Successful pilot for for daily check, all other checks will be approached step-by-step with the same systematic 14
