Group Coaching Moments
Coaching Moments apply to this Best Practice for Team Status to document interactions with employees for production and maintenance teams. Coaching Moments can be performed in groups or individually from SpindleLIVE or SpindleLIVE Mobile. For example, documenting interactions with 7 employees about the proper log-in and out procedures for lunch.
Best Practice #1
Monitor Team Status During the Start of Shift and End of Shift
Ensure all production employees are correctly logging in and out appropriately and using accurate classifications at the start of their shifts to develop & maintain high standards of login compliance. Immediate correction of any login errors ensures better login compliance scores are achieved. Prompt action prevents minor errors from compounding throughout the day, simplifying the Best Practice for Login Compliance.
Active List: As employees interact with Spindle, it's essential to verify that they appear on the Active list, are assigned to the correct equipment, and the appropriate classification is selected. At the end of a shift, you will want to be sure everyone appears inactive unless they are physically in the plant. As a reminder, Spindle will retain the last classification from the previous business day. Actively monitor the Active List Status column for discrepancies.
Inactive List: The Inactive list should be checked simultaneously to identify employees who, despite being present, have not logged in or out. This list also highlights discrepancies like no-shows or mismarked statuses.
Regularly monitoring and quickly resolving login errors positively impact login compliance scores by maintaining accurate and timely employee status updates. Don't forget about Group Coaching Moments as well as individual Coaching Moments. To learn more, check out the Best Practice for Coaching Moments article.
Best Practice #2
Monitor Team Status During the Start of Break and Start of Lunch
It's similar to monitoring at the start of a shift but focusing on leveraging the Team Status filters for enhanced oversight. Although the Team Status automatically displays each employee’s status as selected upon login, utilizing the Lunch and Break filters allows for a more targeted review. This ensures that employees have correctly marked their statuses during breaks and lunches. Always check the Inactive list as well—employees might have inadvertently ended their shifts. Regularly performing these checks helps maintain login compliance and provides insights into knowledge gaps or misunderstandings regarding processes. By addressing these promptly, you can improve overall process efficiency and training effectiveness.
Best Practice #3
Monitor Team Status During Production Hours
The Team Status page is more than just login compliance, though! The resource is a great tool to help manage the production flow. Use Team Status in the following ways and more:
↬ Perhaps you asked your Dry Fold teams to handle specific tasks. Using the Team Status page and filters, you can use the Team Status to view their selected classifications.
↬ Utilizing the SpindleLIVE Mobile Team Status and Production Update in Workforce can provide deeper insights. For example, you need your soil team on the ironers as quickly as possible. On average, they process about 2,000 bags a day, and you can see they are almost done at 1,775.
↬ As your team(s) near completion of a product, review the Team Status to verify that they began working on the next product based on the requirements and demand. Doing so will uncover additional login errors.
