Tiered Management for Lean Manufacturing
Empowerment and Accountability at Every Level of Your Organization
Too often, performance issues go unnoticed until they become major problems. Tiered Management creates a structured communication system that ensures the right information flows to the right people, fast.
From the frontline to executive leadership, Tiered Management connects every level of the organization through short, focused daily meetings. Teams review performance from the previous day, surface challenges impacting customers, and ensure immediate support for issue resolution.
What is Tiered Management?
Tiered Management is a Lean management practice designed to:
-
Improve visibility and communication across all levels
-
Empower teams to address daily challenges proactively
-
Provide leaders with a clear line of sight to performance
-
Foster accountability and ownership in every team
-
Ensure critical problems receive the right escalation and support
By replacing long, ineffective meetings and endless email chains, Tiered Management builds a fast, structured, and transparent communication loop that accelerates decision-making and problem resolution.
