A common challenge in multi-site operations is a lack of data transparency and standardization. Without consistent key performance indicators (KPIs), leadership teams struggle to make informed decisions, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

How CI Enhances Data Transparency

Standardization is key to leveraging data effectively. CI methodologies provide tools to drive consistency across locations:

• Value Stream Mapping (VSM): Visual representation of workflows to identify inefficiencies.
• 5S Methodology: Standardized workplace organization to improve efficiency.
• Statistical Process Control (SPC): Use of control charts to maintain process performance.

Quick Wins for Improving Data Standardization:

• Address data accuracy issues by identifying root causes and implementing standard work.
• Introduce real-time performance tracking.
• Align on core operational KPIs across all sites.
