Everyone gets a tablet; the lead still reads reports. Digital pre-shifts fail because paper became screens—not content became exceptions. Five minutes is enough to align: unclosed andon from night shift, today's safety point, material shortages and quality releases. Glance at output—then move on. Tablets used for pretty charts only make standups longer.
Medium does not matter. Queues matter. Without an open queue, any screen is ceremony.
Three Items—No Extras
Exception queue on screen by station; owners claim by name. Safety covers one item relevant to this shift. Material covers only what stops the line. Everything else waits until after start. Overlong meetings mean the queue was not pre-filtered.
- Data auto-generated before the meeting—no live lookups during.
- Tablets for lead and key roles—not one per person as attendance.
- Start work immediately after; claims must record names in the system.
Digital Means Filtering
The XYN digital intelligence system builds cross-shift exceptions and material waits into a pre-shift queue—the tablet is just the display. Paper-to-screen without agenda change is expensive formalism. Agenda to exceptions works on paper too; screens earn their cost only after the queue exists.
Cap pre-shift at five minutes and three pages. If it runs over, cut content until only exceptions, safety, and material remain.
