Garment-factory example
A needle-life control specifies owner, replacement frequency, log record, abnormal-trigger response, containment, correction, restart and escalation across all shifts. The plan is challenge-tested with a deliberate abnormality before closure.
Method
- Co-design controls with process owner and operators.
- Confirm competence through observed performance.
- Monitor for a representative duration before closure.
Common mistakes
- Closing on pilot data.
- Documents that differ from actual gemba practice.
- Treating training attendance as competence.
