EVERY MORNING
DAILY OPERATING DASHBOARD
Live exceptions, today's must-hits with timing, yesterday's misses, three KPI sparklines, rhythm-install compliance, recent plant activity. Built to be the only page your supervisors load before walking the floor.
- Auto-detected live exceptions: stale issues, open near-misses, safety not logged, certs expiring
- Phase 1 rhythm compliance: are your four basics holding (handoff, board, safety, OEE)?
- OEE 7-day sparkline pulled live from the OEE Tracker
- Activity strip showing what your team has done in the last 24h
EVERY 6 MONTHS
80-QUESTION PLANT AUDIT
Walk the floor with the LOOK / ASK / ANSWER protocol. Auto-saves every answer. Resume on any device. Results scorecard with the ceiling rule, top 10 gaps, recommended guides, stage deltas vs. your last audit. Emailable, printable, downloadable as PDF.
- Pulls from the 80-question Sharpen scorecard rebuilt as a web form
- Ceiling rule enforced: if any of P1/P2/P5/P6 is at Stage 1, overall caps at Stage 1
- Stage deltas per pillar when history exists
- Email a copy to your PE owner; print a PDF for the wall

THE FIRST 14 DAYS
COURSEWORK ENGINE
A 14-day install sequence that walks you through the rhythm tools in order. Auto-detects when you have logged a handoff, an OEE entry, a Gemba walk, a board meeting. The platform marks the action complete; the user moves on. No checklist grinding.
TEAM-WIDE
MULTI-USER, ROLE-AWARE, AUDIT-LOGGED
Invite supervisors, mentors, operators. Plant-member roles. Every action writes to an audit log so leadership can see what happened, when, and by whom. Activity feed surfaces every signed handoff, completed walk, verified poka-yoke.
