Dock-to-Dock Flow Field Guide
An interactive training guide that teaches every associate how work flows from dock to dock, why it stops, and what to do about it.
The problem it solves
Associates see their own station. Nobody sees the flow, so piles move around the building and every lead fixes a different symptom.
What is inside
- The route every order takes, by department, with the handoff check for each
- Starved, constrained, and blocked: how to read a pile
- The three kinds of work: demand before release, released tasks, and produced goods
- A flow lab that shows why more starts do not create more shipments
- Six moves to orchestrate a shift, and a callout format that gets action
- Five scenarios for when the plan changes, a quiz, and a start-of-shift check
Who it is for
Site leaders training leads and associates, and anyone standing up a new flow or control team.
