Imagine your site running like clockwork

Imagine you arrive back on site knowing that your process is running like clockwork. Your team know their plan and have adapted well to any changes over the weekend. Everyone knows how we are performing as a team because we talk about it regularly and they can see their KPIs on big screens wherever they look. You already knew things were going well because you couldn’t help checking Fewzion on your ipad from the reef on the weekend, yep your people are managing your process and equipment to deliver the targets you all agreed.

A daily report lands in your inbox in time for the daily review meeting. It shows how you’re tracking against targets and makes variances from the plan obvious. You think through the reasons and get prepared with some questions that will get your people thinking and hold them accountable for results. The whole team gets these tailored reports so they are prepared to quickly review performance and record improvement actions with you.

At shift change supervisors religiously perform handovers that relate to the plan, if you went and watched you would see small groups of people standing around touch screens discussing the plan and the things that went right and wrong during the shift. They record actions that aim to fix variances and help them improve every day. During the shift they are aware of how they are tracking against their plan and are able to respond quickly when things go off track.

Daily and weekly planning meetings are visual and focused so that the team can get back to delivering on the plan. Work that affects you but needs to be done by other teams appears in your plan to approve so you can give your team a heads up and plan around it. On Friday the team commits to a 72 hour plan for the weekend in Fewzion so that everyone is on the same page for the whole weekend.

Not a spreadsheet or whiteboard planning tool can be seen. Detailed, actionable plans are created and managed without any macros or pivot tables to go wrong. Simple reports are delivered without having to chase around for the data. Visual performance graphs are everywhere without people having to find a whiteboard marker. Crews are actively engaged in the plan both at the start of shift and at the end and come up with ideas for how we can do better tomorrow.

Imagine this, day in, day out. Looking back at the year, how much do you think you could have improved?
