SPQDC poster
Five letters. Green or red. Every day.
Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, People. Each letter goes green or red once a day against a standard everyone can see - and a red is not a verdict, it is a question: what happened, and who is fixing it?

Also on the poster
- Write the standards firstA letter can only go green against a bar everyone agreed on.
- Mark it dailyTen seconds at the same time every day. The habit is the tool.
- Red is informationA board that is all green all year is not telling the truth.
- Follow the monthThe grid shows the pattern - which letter, which day, how often.
The line to remember
A red with a reason and an owner is a good day, not a bad one.
