  • Precision vs Ownership S3E26
    Oct 20 2025

    Title: Break Shifts into Short Intervals


    Description:

    Short interval control (SIC) helps teams react quickly to emerging issues. Monitor key metrics in smaller time blocks—hourly, for example. This allows supervisors and operators to spot deviations early and take corrective action within the shift.

    Sep 29 2025
