Org Change Update

Currently, our star point team members are intgrated into the work team that are producing parts on the lines or cells.

The issues this causes is when any administrative task or production escalation event occurs requires the star point team members to leave the production lines for extended periods of time. Then I have one or more cells or lines performing their work in a non-standard manner. Its our largest source of ineffeciencies in production and greates variation.

We currently have consensus amunst managment to change our approach while maintaining our current structure. We are reducing the amount of star point team members while pulling them to off-line roles. They will be able to perform their adminstrative tasks, and monitor production in order to escalate events with out disrupting production. I am looking forward to this. Also, typically star points are a rotated position. However, for this pilot opportunity we are looking for volunteers whom will have to interview for these positions.
