In sports, it is generally thought that when winning, continue playing your game. When losing, however, change. The same can be true in manufacturing. Tracking progress toward the ultimate objective, even if still far away, unites people and can create a positive winning spirit.
Many plants have intranet sites to aid communications.
Most already track things that should be on the scorecard. Then, combine individual sites into a set by using a common navigation menu and style, and based them all on a common style guide. Linking the scorecard to a graphical display of the trend data can be helpful. The scorecard should show the metrics for the whole plant and should extend down to departments, process units, and, ideally, operating shifts. As an organization matures in tracking performance and progress toward goals, the frequency of the measurements should increase.
