What Is SQCDP and Why It Matters in Lean Manufacturing
SQCDP—Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery, and People—is a proven Lean visual management framework that helps organisations monitor performance daily and respond quickly to issues that impact operations. How Digital Visual Management Drives Results: A digital SQDCP Board brings these five dimensions together in one real-time view, enabling teams to track KPIs, identify abnormalities, and take corrective action during daily huddles. By making performance visible at a glance, the SQDCP Board eliminates delays in reporting and supports faster, data-driven decision-making across shifts and departments. From Visibility to Continuous Improvement: With live dashboards, trend analysis, and visual alerts, teams can spot bottlenecks, recurring defects, delivery risks, cost overruns, and skill gaps before they escalate. This structured visibility strengthens accountability, improves cross-functional collaboration, and embeds continuous improvement into daily routines. Practical Impact on the Shop Floor: Organisations using a digital SQDCP Board report measurable improvements in safety incidents, defect reduction, on-time delivery, cost control, and workforce capability—all aligned with Lean and Industry 4.0 principles. Powering SQCDP Digitally with LTS Data Point: To maximise impact, LTS Data Point digitises SQCDP visual management by integrating real-time KPI tracking, action management, and analytics into a single platform—helping manufacturers turn daily performance visibility into sustained operational excellence.
