Getting started as a team leader

Run your shift in LeanSuite: your team's checks, the board, the issues and the escalations.

Written by Angad Singh

Everything a team leader or supervisor needs to run a shift in LeanSuite, in five guides.

Who this is for: Team leaders, supervisors and line leads.

Before you start: You have done the operator guides, and your admin has put you in a Team leader role.

Time: 30 minutes to read, then 10 minutes per shift.

Your daily loop

  1. Run the daily routine: check your team's work in Daily Standard Work, read the Kanban board, handle the issues, escalate what you cannot fix.

  2. Read the board: run the Tier 1 huddle from your board, enter KPI values and raise action items from red tiles.

  3. Close an issue: submit, verify, mark complete or send back with a reason.

  4. Escalate an issue: send it to the next tier with a comment, and keep a pinned queue for your tier.

Setting things up for your team

Train your operators

Use Raise an issue and Complete a check as a 15-minute session at the line: sign in on the shared tablet, open Assigned To Me, start one check together, then raise one practice issue and close it.
