Create a continuous improvement framework to raise throughput and cut cycle time at [Facility] operating on [ShiftPattern] while meeting [SafetyConstraint]. Define KPIs: dock-to-dock cycle time, trailer turn time, staging dwell, sort accuracy, labor productivity.
Output format:
Current-State Value Stream Map (textual swimlanes: inbound → sort → load).
Constraint Analysis (top 3 bottlenecks with evidence).
Experiment Portfolio (DoD, owner, expected delta vs. [ThroughputTarget]).
Hour-by-Hour Board layout and andon rules.
Feedback Cadence (shift, daily, weekly), including Gemba questions and leader-standard work.
Measurement Plan (sampling, sensors/scans, timestamp standards).
Include a mechanism for rapid PDCA cycles: detection of variance, immediate countermeasure, verification within 24 hours, and standardization if sustained. Provide a labor cross-training matrix and trailer spotting rules to minimize idle time.
