Tier meeting
Concept
A short, fixed daily meeting in stacked levels, from team to plant, at a board. Each level reviews safety, quality, delivery and cost, escalates what it cannot solve, and assigns owners and dates.
Description
A tier meeting is a short, fixed meeting held every day at a board. The meetings are stacked in levels, called tiers, for example team, area and plant. Each level reviews the same few topics, often safety, quality, delivery and cost, looks at what happened since the last meeting and decides what to do.
The most important rule is escalation. What a team cannot solve in its own meeting goes to the next tier, usually the same day, and the answer travels back down. Meetings are kept to around fifteen minutes by working from the board and not from slides. Actions have an owner and a date and are checked at the next meeting. Tier meetings are a central routine of shop floor management and operational excellence.
