Green Area Meeting
Stage Two
Green Room Meeting
During the Green Area Meeting, the QCDSM methodology is thoroughly explained. The participants begin to see the “big picture” of how their facility and their company must continue to grow and compete in order to ensure their future. No matter what they have been able to achieve in the past, they must look for new and better tools to improve the way in which the business is managed and operated.
Through this training session, participants realize very quickly that the QCDSM process gives them the necessary tools. Specifically, the ability to involve all members of the staff using visually charted measurements to gauge their performance to targets, and to implement written processes, so as to guarantee the on time delivery of products with consistent quality, produced at a competitive price in the safest environment possible. This explanation of the QCDSM methodology also includes full details of how the Green Room (pictured) should be set up, the format of the charts, and lays the foundation necessary to communicate between teams in relation to problems and issues.
At the conclusion of the meeting, a timetable is established, which sets specific dates for the remaining training sessions, and also outlines specific tasks that must be completed prior to the Strategy Training. QCD Systems’ staff remain in close contact with the client between these visits to assist them as needed, and also visit when necessary to ensure that all items are completed as trained and instructed.
As the final sections of the Green Area Meeting Training Module are presented, participants gain an understanding of how the QCD System is established. Those attending are given the responsibility of preparing their areas for implementation of the program, and the onset of a “new way of doing business.”
