Pay by level

Same pricing source as the profile's ticker header — family multiplier + inherited focus differential over the function×level base.

National-base pricing — this family's function differential is pending review, so dollar levels are not function-adjusted (level-over-level % is unaffected).

P1Starting out · new to it — knows the words, not yet the work

Seeing waste and making status visible

  • Walks the floor and names the seven wastes when pointed out, but still relies on end-of-line inspection to catch defects
  • Posts basic metrics boards and 5S markings so anyone can see what belongs where and whether a line is running
  • Reacts to problems by expediting and firefighting rather than tracing causes
  • Frames improvements in terms of this quarter's output numbers

What’s next — Foundationalat P2 → P3

Quality and efficiency come from designed flow and defect prevention at the source, not from inspection and firefighting

What to learn

  • Value stream mapping, takt time, and pull/JIT scheduling mechanics
  • Jidoka principles: autonomation, poka-yoke, andon, stop-the-line authority
  • Structured root-cause methods (five whys, genchi genbutsu)

What to practice

  • Designing a continuous-flow cell and sizing kanban
  • Building error-proofing devices and in-station quality checks
  • Running a disciplined problem-solving investigation to true root cause
