Autonomous Teams
The strength of the JIT model is that it is based on proven operating standards, and not on compromises making it possible to “work around” existing malfunctions. The control of lean processes requires appropriate management. If not properly understood, we can observe situations where operators are powerless faced with the sudden appearance of a problem. High stress takes over local management and results deteriorate rapidly if we do not adapt the entire management line to the reactivity requirements of the JIT model.

Our experience in the setting up of independent teams makes it possible to clearly formalise the roles of each party, and to specify key operations. This takes the form of the drawing up of working methods, also called standards, and coaching of key players in the field in real situations.
With the management we defined targets for teams, consistent with the overall challenges of the organisation. In the field we act in such a way that visual management conditions are in place to enable visual management of the quality and quantity of products in respect of requirements.
