Danaher Leadership Development Project for functional lines.
Functional Department Planning Template
Standardized template and method for annual planning of functional departments: a three-part structure of overall departmental planning, PD and KPI alignment, and key priorities, including a 2019–2021 multi-year roadmap. The template comes from Bull Group's departmental planning courseware and is not a Danaher item.
Funnel Management
Identifying, nurturing and facilitating business opportunities to the regularized process of dealing, helping the marketing team to build a five-stage funnel and accompaniment evaluation rhythm to increase the winning rate.
Future State
Elimination of waste, process-to-flow process vision.

The target map redrawn from the marked-up current state map according to flow, pull and takt; it must carry a deadline and be divided into loops, otherwise it is only a wish list.
Gage Repeatability & Reproducibility
Assess the process of measuring data quality and quantifying the variability of measurement systems.
Gap Vignette
SPG Process first step: a brief description of the strategic portfolio gaps, and the benefits/constraints to bridge the gaps, and the strategic basis for initial alignment of teams.
Gate Review
A checkpoint between project stages: you can pass only after deliverables are fully registered; forcing a pass requires a written justification and remains in the audit trail. Not the same thing as [[tollgate]] (Toll Gate): a Toll Gate is a gate in product development flows such as APD, while a Gate Review is the playbook engine's own gate mechanism.
Gemba
Japanese "where the real happens": the site of value creation (workshop, accounts payable, call centre, etc.) also includes real things and true facts and data.
Genchi Genbutsu
The physical location and the present is the actual object: a physical visit to the site to confirm the situation with a view to a thorough understanding.
Global Product Development
The distribution of product development activities across multiple regions of the globe, matching value added with cost, to maximize financial and operational productivity for development.

The method of framing key assumptions, related issues and the latest perceptions around the investment logic of particular opportunities is a key input to business reasoning, which is used extensively in the CPC.
Gross Margin Return on Inventory Investment
Gross profit on merchandise sales for the period divided by average inventory value, measuring the period gross profit corresponding to each unit of average inventory.

Growth Bridge
The planning is based on the growth of the year ' s targets, jump points and key initiatives and should be dynamically updated and periodically reviewed in day-to-day management (growth room) across functions.
Growth Room
The sales and market cross-functional teams track results with day-to-day management and develop policy responses to achieve growth goals.
Guiding Coalition
A transformation steering group led by the top leader and composed of several executives with resource and personnel authority; members first personally complete immersion and Kaizen practice, then jointly design and drive the organization's introduction plan. From a publicly published book, not textbook terminology.
Hanedashi
Japanese "Auto-release": when the process is completed, the work is automatically discharged and the unloading does not take the operator's hand; self-inflicted the 6th floor of the 7th floor.
Heijunka / Level Loading
Production equalization processes that provide a balanced distribution of production in the Bottled Peak Valley, where production is two dimensions of the diversity that equalizes the needs of clients.
Hidden Inventory
The portion in the Kanban Calculator that is quietly amplified by parameters, causing inventory to be higher than actually needed; four sources: Safety Stock setting, rounding and per-box capacity, Daily Usage and demand data, and lead time. This inventory is all on the books; it's just that "why it can't be reduced" is hidden in the parameters.
Histogram
Displays graphically the data distribution and the graph showing process variations.
Holistic View of Commercial
A comprehensive review of the corporate business environment as a whole provides insight into improving the prioritization of areas.
Holistic View of Innovation
Comprehensive review and diagnostic tools for the business innovation system.
House of Quality
QFD matrix carrier, six rooms; TG-2, VAVE and IPP all use it.
Hypothesis Tree
The skeleton of a consulting project: breaking an ambition into 'conditions that must hold', with each condition specifying what evidence verifies it and where the evidence comes from. Not DBS textbook content.
Ideal Inventory Policy
The volume and period ceiling table given by A/B/C is used to see the upper limit of the water level set by the plate.
Ideas to Execution (I2E) / Growth Tools
The Danaher growth tool community overview, from creativity to implementation, covers the growth chain of innovation, marketing, marketing, etc.
Ideation
The curriculum and methodology that are generated in batches, narrow-mindedly and filtered around client issues: two narrow steps to sift one step, 20-30 pieces to spread, 4-6 votes to leave, 2-4 to be handed over and 2 prototypes to be used.
Ideation Process
The process of creating, capturing, evaluating, and ranking a large number of solutions around a customer problem (this corresponds to the same method as the "Idea Generation" glossary entry — another rendering of the source definition).
Impact Matrix
Improved teams are used to generate a large number of response ideas and to sequence four-quall maps according to the impact of implementation on easy access to gaps.
Import/Export Compliance
Compliance system for import and export controls; independent MBB certification path (external online course + 85% pass line + compliance review), different from DBS tool type certification.
Improvement Benefit Attribution
Check the beneficiary, period, calculation basis and influencing factors to attribute changes to an improvement without double counting.
Improvement Priority
The few key improvement themes derived from the annual breakthrough objectives (Annual Improvement Priorities, AIP), for which TTI and an Action Plan are then set; it is the layer in Policy Deployment that connects Annual Objectives and Action Plans with resource allocation.
Incentive Compensation Plan
(c) Incentive pay schemes linked to performance.
Incident Rate
Indicators of frequency of security incidents.
Incremental Pipeline Value

Input Process Output
A graphical tool to record a process and its input output variables.
Inside Sales
Professional sales conducted remotely, such as by telephone, can be conducted using the mode of trail generation, internal and external synergies or market specialization.

Integrated PSI (Production, Sales & Inventory)
Cross-functional consensus processes for the forecasts of volume sales, production plans and inventory plans, balancing excessive and low stocks and developing short- and long-term response decisions.
Intellectual Property Process
Processes that give patents real commercial value: the boundaries of claims are smoldled by existing technologies (ceilings) and commercial scope (low limits); and the high weight differential properties calculated by QFD are included as targets for patent distribution.
Internal and External Setup
Internal work must be done with the equipment stopped; external work can be done while the equipment is still running. This is not the difference between in-plant work and outsourcing.
Internal Fill Rate
Proportion of vacant posts filled by internal Danaher candidates (rather than by external recruitment).
Interview and Selection Training
The job image (job description X success factor) is transformed into a group of recognizable behavioural problems, and a set of scores is transformed into a recognizable tool for the quality of judgement of the admission decision: the interviewer is the surveyor, and the interview score is counted only after the surveyor has been calibrated. The calculator (internal filling/retention) is assigned to cvd, the competency list is assigned to the development-plan, and this article only covers the middle of the evidence, rating and alignment.
Inventory Management at Gemba
The process of daily control of inventory at site focuses on daily servicing of clients and meeting weekly financial targets for inventory and addresses material system deviations.
Jidoka

Note: two official Danaher materials use the term differently — the Flow course ( p96) calls all seven levels "Jidoka"; the 3P Leader's Guide (3P p102) and the 2020 glossary instead label levels 2 and 4 as "Automation." See [[seven-levels-of-jidoka]].
