The SQDIP System

How to Build a Daily Visual Management System That Actually Sticks

The methodology for a three-tier daily visual management system that actually sticks past the launch month. Covers the SQDIP board design (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Inventory, Productivity), the three meeting tiers (Tier 1 floor huddle, Tier 2 area rollup, Tier 3 plant review), and the cadence that converts visual management from a wall of charts into a live operational rhythm. Walks the failure modes that kill SQDIP programs: boards that go stale after the kickoff, huddles that turn into status updates without action, escalation chains that do not escalate. Each failure mode is paired with the operational fix. Written for plant managers, area managers, and continuous improvement leads. Pairs with the Daily Team Huddle Planner by Wade Prescott.
