Task force team

Focus

Short-term solution of current problem topics in the areas of planning, production, logistics and supplier network

 

Procedure
  • Scope and kick-off
    Coordination of current problem, focus topics, definition of core team and execution of kick-off
  • Complete overview of the problem
    Process walk-through overall value stream, high-level process and problem understanding, initial discussion of causes, approaches and classification of key issues (usually on site)
  • Data analysis
    Inspection and analysis of the available project data, validation of completeness, data quality and significance with regard to the problem definition
  • Prioritization of key topics
    Addition of necessary measures, prioritization and update of key topics and start of processing (control: ticket system)
  • Ticket system
    All measures are documented, controlled and tracked on tickets (measure, assessable effect, measurement criteria, responsibility, deadline)
  • Processing of tickets
    Processing of activities to resolve key issues in cross-functional teams, prompt review of target achievement and ensuring sustainability
  • Reporting
    Monitoring of tickets, forecast of target achievement, measurement of the impact on the overall system after implementation and identification of any necessary additional activities

 

Result

Active problem solving, learning curve for the task force and derivation for similar topics in the future
