15-Minute Ops KPI Huddle Template

15‑Minute Huddle Agenda

1. 0-3 min — Quick safety check and shift highlights
2. 3-7 min — KPI snapshot (OEE, downtime, scrap/quality)
3. 7-12 min — Issues triage and immediate containment
4. 12-15 min — Assign owners, confirm next steps & escalation triggers

Roles: Facilitator (keeps time and focus), Scribe (records issues, owners, due dates), Escalation Owner (accepts escalations beyond the shift). Start on time. Keep each issue to a 1-2 minute containment plan. Only escalate when triggers are met. Adapt thresholds to your plant.

Suggested Escalation Triggers (examples)

• Unplanned downtime > 10 minutes
• OEE drop > 8 percentage points vs previous shift
• Scrap or defect rate increase > 2 percentage points
• Repeat problem (same issue in 2 of last 3 shifts)

Use these as starting points; customize to your operation.

How to use this form

Enter the KPI snapshot, then record up to three top issues. The scribe must assign an owner and a follow-up due date. Use the Huddle Log to review open actions at the next huddle. Keep entries brief and focused: what happened, immediate containment, owner, and due date.
