Slide 2 - Meeting Purpose & Agenda

The meeting's purpose is to establish shared understanding of facts without blame or solutions. The agenda covers context (objectives, problem categories, production flow), identified bottlenecks (CAM, assembly, QC, schedule, operations), impacts (instability, shifting risks), and alignment on problems/next steps.

Meeting Purpose & Agenda

  1. Purpose
  2. Establish shared understanding, review facts, no blame/no solutions.

  3. Context
  4. Objectives, problem categories, production flow diagram.

  5. Identified Problems
  6. Bottlenecks in CAM, assembly, QC, schedule, operations.

  7. Impact
  8. System instability, shifting bottlenecks, risks.

  9. Alignment
  10. Confirm agreement on problems, next steps.

Slide 3 - Annual Objectives & Problem Categories

The slide outlines annual objectives like production goals, utilization targets, and cost reduction with a 50% rework cut. It also lists problem categories including System Constraints, Flow Breaks, Quality Escapes, and Operational Risks.

Annual Objectives & Problem Categories

  • Production goals, utilization targets
  • Cost reduction, rework cut by 50%
  • System Constraints
  • Flow Breaks
  • Quality Escapes
  • Operational Risks

Slide 4 - Production Flow & Key Bottlenecks

The slide outlines a production workflow table with phases (CAM, CNC, Assembly & Finishing, QC), their average durations, key issues, and impacts. Key bottlenecks include CAM programming delays (10-15% capacity loss), Assembly & Finishing labor shortages (20% throughput reduction), and QC inspection queues causing rework.

Production Flow & Key Bottlenecks

{ "headers": [ "Phase", "Avg Duration (days)", "Key Issues / Causes", "Impact" ], "rows": [ [ "CAM", "2-3", "Programming delays, skill shortages", "10-15% capacity loss, flow starvation downstream" ], [ "CNC", "1", "Stable operation", "Minimal, but waits on CAM" ], [ "Assembly & Finishing", "3-5", "Labor shortages, material delays", "Major delays, 20% throughput reduction" ], [ "QC", "1-2", "Inspection queues, insufficient staff", "End-of-line bottleneck, rework cycles" ] ] }

Slide 5 - Major Problems: Causes & Impacts

The slide features a table titled "Major Problems: Causes & Impacts," outlining five key issues with their causes and effects. It covers no stable schedule (from flow breaks, causing delays), missing info/time waste (from poor handoffs, causing inefficiency), late detection (from no monitoring, causing escalation), readiness under load (from untested capacity, causing failures), and single points of failure (from key dependencies, causing vulnerabilities).

Slide 6 - Summary, Next Steps & Alignment

The slide summarizes instability and shifting bottlenecks as leading to no blame or solutions. It proposes next steps via improvement initiatives and seeks agreement to align and proceed.

Summary, Next Steps & Alignment

Instability & Shifting Bottlenecks

No Blame. No Solutions.

Next: Improvement Initiatives

Do We Agree?

Align to Advance

Confirm agreement to proceed.

Speaker Notes
Emphasize system instability and shifting bottlenecks. Reinforce no blame/solutioning. Outline improvement initiatives. Pose alignment question: Do we agree on these problems? Closing: 'Align to Advance'. CTA: 'Confirm agreement and approve next steps.'
