Short Interval Control Board for Real-Time Production Excellence

A Short Interval Control Board (SICB) is a powerful Lean visual management tool that enables teams to monitor production performance in real time and respond quickly to deviations. By breaking the day into short, reviewable intervals, teams gain immediate visibility into key metrics such as output, downtime, quality issues, and safety concerns, allowing problems to be addressed before they escalate. This approach strengthens accountability on the shop floor and supports faster, data-driven decision-making.

Driving Efficiency Through Short Interval Reviews

With a structured cadence of review and action, the Short interval management board helps teams identify gaps between plan and actual performance, enabling rapid corrective actions and continuous improvement. It promotes cross-functional collaboration, ensures alignment between operators and supervisors, and builds operational agility by minimising unplanned downtime and waste.

Building a Culture of Continuous Improvement

Beyond performance tracking, the Short interval management board fosters a proactive mindset where teams focus on solving issues at the source rather than reacting after the fact. When consistently used, the Short interval management board becomes a central pillar of daily management systems.
