29. Step 1 : Plan b- Set milestones Example of automotive milestones (APQP) Mass Production Trials Pre-Production Trials Tooling Development Start Start Of Production Project kick-off Lessons Learned

30. Step 1 : Plan c- Master Schedule

31. Step 1 : Plan c – Master schedule Now you defined SMART Targets, schedule building will follow naturally. P D C A

32. Step 1 : Plan c – Master schedule C C C C C Visualize check points directly into your schedule C

33. Step 2 : Do Step 2 : Do

34. Step 2: Do Today C C C C C Visualize progress of your project…

35. Step 2: Do Today C C C C C … and delays as well * (cf. problem solving 8d)

36. Step 2: Do Today C C C C C Achieved result = Expected outcome?

37. Step 2: Do Tips & Tricks Set regular follow-up meetings up-front (e.g.: at beginning of the year)

38. Step 2: Do Tips & Tricks Keep consistency in meeting concept : day, time and location (e.g.: Every Tue 13:30-14:00 Room 4)
