Inspection Scoreboards & More!

The Inspection Team developed Scoreboard drivers based on production from our Electronic floor, EZ-sort and Roller sort. As a crew, we forecast the production volume weekly on Mondays for all three areas. We create this forecast using the number of tubs that can be run from in-house inventory as well as all possible inventory that may arrive hot or is past due on the daily incoming list. This impacts on-time delivery to our customers, along with company and employee success.

Ongoing Initiatives for the Inspection Team

This year, we are looking forward to the ongoing growth in knowledge, training, and implementation of the Great Game of Business for the entire Sort crew. As the Team Leader, I am excited and extremely proud of each crew members’ engagement with our scoreboard and the company huddle. Their willingness to make the culture change  needed for the ongoing success of our department and Fastco inspires me.

Challenges & Commitment to Improve

As the final production department in the process, the Inspection crew faces many challenges. These include insufficient timing on parts arriving into our department and a need for updated equipment to support current increased volumes and work from new business awards.

In short, our commitment is to impact positive change in not just our department but throughout Fastco. Our questions, concerns, and even complaints come from a sincere commitment to improve.
