Definition
The four pillars, the nine elements, were 104, and the four-score field assessment forms for the target groups were 9/7/3/0; each was based on the "what is the size of a nine?"
In detail
The Daily Management Audit Sheet is a tool that assesses both lean conversion and daily management maturity together, divided into 104 items across four pillars and nine elements (conversion, safety, quality, customer service, productivity, inventory, visual management, problem solving, leadership), scored on a 9/7/3/0 scale, with the target group — not a workshop — as the unit assessed. It addresses the issue of "managing by feel" by using standardized assessment to identify gaps. The typical output is an assessment report and improvement plan.
Example in practice
After a year of implementing the Daily Management System, management wants to know the results. Using the DM audit checklist to evaluate three target groups, it is found that one group scores low on the "problem solving" element. Improvement measures are developed for the gap, such as enhanced training. Three months later, a re-evaluation shows improved scores and standardized management.
