The CCTC facilitated a peer review visit to the K-Way factory last month for CCTC CIP member firms. 16 attendees representing 8 of the 12 CIP firms toured the factory where staff from each department showed the group their visual management systems. The tour ended in the K-Way ‘War Room’ where all performance metrics from every department are converted into meaningful visual reports which are posted onto the walls for review and discussion at daily meetings.

Why Peer Review Session?

Peer review sessions are an important means of sharing knowledge across member firms, which is one of the core mandates of the CCTC. It is our hope that the tour, and subsequent peer review tours, will inspire attendees to take key concepts and methodologies from the tour and implement them at their own factories. These sessions should bridge the gap between theory and practice and help to raise the bar for all CCTC CIP member firms; inspiring them to become high-performance Lean organisations that thrive and grow sustainably.

We encourage all CCTC CIP member firms to host a peer review session as a means of sharing knowledge, celebrating successes and gaining perspectives and valuable input from other member firms. CCTC CIP firms interested in hosting their own peer review session should contact us at cctc@bmanalysts.com  for more information
