Methods and “Do actions have owners”: Pass/fail criteria, does it exist?
Survey possible questions:
Organization
- Ease of movement in area
- How easy is it to find a skid (of a specific product)
- How easy is it to put a skid away
- How easy is it to access a skid (once it has been found)
- How well does are respond to changes in demand (more/less skids)
Usability
- How easy is it to store/retrieve QA samples
- How easy is it to differentiate product types
- How easy is it identify overflow types (QA hold vs. waiting for reefer)
- How easy is it to count the number of skids (hard count/cycle count)
- How useable are the flow racks
- How well is unavailability of reefers handled
General satisfaction
- How happy with QA sample process
- How does the area look
- How easy is it to fix a problem when it arises
- How would you rate the overall system (freezer operations)
Other measurements
- #skids in room
- #accessible skids
