About this template

Operational waste compounds quietly: unstandardized processes breed exceptions, exceptions eat senior time, and nobody measures the true cycle. This self-assessment scores five efficiency dimensions the way operators actually experience them, ranks where waste compounds, and generates an AI report with improvement sequencing you can start this quarter. Expect honest self-ratings — the tool is for finding leverage, not defending turf.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the five efficiency dimensions?
Standardization, cycle time, resource utilization, quality and rework, and tooling and automation — weighted into one operations score.
Is this Lean or Six Sigma?
It borrows the thinking (waste, flow, rework) but is an original self-assessment, not a certified methodology or audit.
Who should answer — managers or the floor?
Both, separately. The gap between where leadership thinks waste is and where the floor sees it is usually the finding.
What comes out of the report?
A prioritized efficiency diagnosis: which dimension multiplies waste into the others, and sequenced first fixes.
How do we know if improvements worked?
Re-run the same five dimensions next quarter; score movement per dimension is the scoreboard.
Is it free to use?
Yes. Click Use This Template to copy the form, scoring and report configuration into your FormLM workspace for free, then customize and share it.
