Operator OEE Coaching Card (Quick Interventions)

A single-page interactive coaching card supervisors can use on Gemba to capture respectful, operator-centered observations, create short experiments, assign owners, and track follow-up so availability and performance gains are documented and measurable.

Operator OEE Coaching Card (Quick Interventions)

Use during Gemba: Keep it short, factual, and respectful. Capture what you observed, what you did to contain the problem, a quick root-cause prompt to focus an experiment, the experiment you want to try, what to measure, who owns the follow-up, and when you will check back. This form saves the coaching note so teams can track experiments and measurable improvements. Avoid blaming language — focus on conditions and fixes.

One-line summary (e.g., 'Line 2 stopped due to feeder jam').
Shift, HH:MM, or work period (e.g., 'Night shift, 02:10').
Identify where this occurred so follow-up is directed correctly.
What did you/they do right away to keep production safe or moving? Keep steps short and factual.
Use these prompts to guide a quick hypothesis for an experiment.
Use when 'Other' above was selected. Brief hypothesis.
Describe a simple, low-cost test the team can run during the shift to confirm a hypothesis (who will try it, what they'll change, and how long to run it).
Estimate how long the experiment should run to see a result (e.g., 1, 2, 4). Enter 0.5 for 30 minutes if helpful.
Concise expected change (e.g., 'reduce stoppages to 0 in 2 hours' or 'cycle time < 12s').
Choose the smallest set of metrics needed to see whether the experiment worked.
If you selected 'Other', name the metric and how it will be measured.
Enter current values for the metrics above (e.g., Availability 78%, Cycle time 15s, Reject 3%).
Name and role (e.g., 'Alex — line lead').
Date to check results and agree next steps. Use YYYY-MM-DD format. If you prefer, enter number of days in follow_up_days instead.
Alternative to a date: how many days until follow-up (e.g., 0 = same shift, 1 = next day).
What to check at follow-up and how to measure. Record results here after follow-up.
Select yes if this needs immediate support from maintenance, engineering, or management.
Paste a link to a photo, shared folder, or ticket if available.
Anything else useful for the team or next shift. Keep it brief.
