These are the questions Compass asks for this practice, and the levels it scores you against.
Per-shift production targets, with documented reason codes for any miss.
Do you set production targets per shift and document the reason when you miss them?
Level 1 → 5World class at level 4
- No formal targets — we run what we run
- Daily target only; misses are noted informally
- Per-shift target with an end-of-shift reason if missed
- Hour-by-hour target with a documented reason code per missWorld class
- Real-time target tracking with reason codes captured on every deviation event
How parts produced (target, actual, good, scrap) and cycle time are captured during the shift.
How do you capture parts produced and cycle time during the shift?
Level 1 → 5World class at level 4
- We don't track parts produced or cycle time during the shift
- Operator estimates total parts at end of shift
- Paper or spreadsheet tally — actual vs target, good vs scrap
- Tablet-based hour-by-hour tracking with target, actual, good, scrap, and cycle timeWorld class
- Automatic part counters feed a live production board against target
Cadence of throughput review and action ownership.
How often is throughput vs target reviewed and what happens as a result?
Level 1 → 5World class at level 4
- Not reviewed
- Occasionally, when an obvious miss happens
- Monthly review; limited action taken
- Daily shift huddle — top miss reason gets an owner and dateWorld class
- Real-time board on the floor; top miss reason addressed each shift with documented action
