Premier Work Center
​
Definition of Premier – First in importance, order or position; leading, foremost, first, second to none
Our goal is to develop the premier work center. Characteristics of a Premier Work Center are:
1. Individual functions and goals are clear. (Standard Work and SQDC Boards)
2. Everyone sticks to what has been decided (adherence to Standard Work and follow-through
or attainment and sustainment)
3. Anyone can see how things stand (Visual Controls)
4. Operations are always being improved through waste elimination
5. Achievement is constantly high (safe operation, reliable and repeatable quality, 100% On
Time Delivery to final customers, cost effective)
6. The ultimate continuous flow system
7. Comprehensive development of human resources (Your only appreciating asset)
3. Eliminate the “white Space” between Premier Work Center and Operational Excellence
4. Operational Excellence
Building the Premier Work Center
a. Could you center the center button on your “wheel”
b. Could you make the wheel a little bit larger
As you can see, Operational Excellence (the execution of the business strategy more consistently and reliably than the competition) is a result of Premier Work Center development.
Operational Excellence
The ability to efficiently and effectively satisfy your customer while minimizing cost and maximizing your
profitability.
This is done through consistent and reliable execution
of a business plan and strategy.
