3. Dashboards and Control Charts 3 Introduction Fluor is making use of Leading Indicators in conjunction with Human Performance to perform work safely at the Department of Energy Hanford site
Fluor is a leader in DOE’s Voluntary Protection Program
Fluor has achieved significant safety improvements – 84% reduction in OSHA case rate from 1996 to 2005
Use of leading indicators started in May 2004, since then we have achieved a 28% reduction of injuries
4. Dashboards and Control Charts 4 Introduction A conjunction of “Hard Side” and “Soft Side” at Fluor
5. Dashboards and Control Charts 5 Voluntary Protection Program Fluor is the leader in DOE’s VPP Program
8 STAR Sites
Simply complying with regulations is not sufficient for continual improvement
VPP has helped to focus
management and union
efforts and teaming
Leading Indicators fit in with
worksite analysis
6. Dashboards and Control Charts 6 Results
7. Dashboards and Control Charts 7 Numerical Tools Use of Leading Indicators and Statistical Process Control has had a profound effect at Fluor
Increases visibility to safety and production processes
Helps to point the leaders in the correct direction to find improvement
The Workers do understand the data – they live the data!
Integration of data and numbers with people

10. Dashboards and Control Charts 10 A moving average simply compares the new datum point to the oldest. If the new point is higher, the moving average moves up; if lower, the moving average moves down.
There is no criteria for when to declare a trend, when to sound the alarm
11. Dashboards and Control Charts 11
12. Dashboards and Control Charts 12 The traditional color coded charts against numerical targets adds to the reaction to random noise
Although we now have an alarm threshold, there are a high rate of false alarms against arbitrary thresholds
13. Dashboards and Control Charts 13 Common Trending Errors
14. Dashboards and Control Charts 14
15. Dashboards and Control Charts 15 SPC Description Data are plotted in time sequence
Baseline average (center line) is added
Upper and Lower Control Limits are added, 3 standard deviations above and below the average
UCL and LCL represent the expected range of variation in the data.
Variation outside this range is circled (other rules are used in addition)
See the “Hanford Trending Primer” at http://www.hanford.gov/safety/vpp/trend.htm.
16. Dashboards and Control Charts 16 Technology and Psychology Even the most elegant charts and analysis will not cause something to happen
Decisions and implementation made without data are likely to fail
We must integrate Technology and Psychology
Integrate the alphabet soup of programs and the data with the people
17. Dashboards and Control Charts 17 Systems Thinking Concepts Pay attention to interactions more so than components (People to People, People to Machine)
Knowledge of statistical variation more so than discrete numbers
Long term focus more so than short term
Cooperation more so than fear, blame and internal competition
18. Dashboards and Control Charts 18 Jump Start with Leading Indicators Just what are leading indicators, anyway?
Predictions of future?
or
A means to create a better future?
19. Dashboards and Control Charts 19 Creating a Better Future We have gotten distracted by calls to predict future, delaying development of leading indicators
At a low injury rate, little information exists in the outcome indicators
Trending response time long at these low rates
Use leading indicators to measure lower threshold data and activities
Quickens trend response, reduces injuries and improves outcomes
20. Dashboards and Control Charts 20 Leadership is Needed The control chart will help characterize the data.
Many times the data “will cry out” for action to be taken.
Leaders at all levels in the corporation must be willing to hear the cry, formulate the appropriate action, take the action, and determine the effect of the action.
21. Dashboards and Control Charts 21 Our Current Leading Indicators Events - First Aid Cases, Occurrences, Near Misses

24. Dashboards and Control Charts 24 Employee Sentiment
25. Dashboards and Control Charts 25 Results There have been recent trends that allowed management to stay ahead of issues
OSHA Recordable Case Rate has dropped 28% since start of use (May 03 – Apr 04 compared to Feb 05 – Jan 06)
Finished 2005 with lowest OSHA Recordable Case Rate yet
Allows focus on doing the right things right

27. Dashboards and Control Charts 27 Correlations
28. Dashboards and Control Charts 28 A Color-Coded Dashboard Integrated presentation for Leading and Lagging Indicators
Combines the best of “balanced scorecard” with the best of SPC
Better than rolling all data into one index
Allows a Systems Approach – looking across several indicators
29. Dashboards and Control Charts 29 Red Yellow and Green
30. Dashboards and Control Charts 30 Use of “White” Addition of White to the dashboard can be advantageous:
Use White (or Yellow) for one month away from a trend
Use for stable at an okay level, but not superior
Minimizes some of the push to be “All Green” while allowing for opportunities for improvement

38. Dashboards and Control Charts 38 Taking the Data to the People Senior Management receives weekly update of injuries and leading indicators
President’s Zero Accident Council includes presentation on the statistics
Project and Facility level charts are provided at least monthly
Annual Employee training includes a safety culture survey
39. Dashboards and Control Charts 39 Improvement Model Identify Trends and take appropriate actions
When stable, determine if results need improvement
Involve all Employees in improvement
Use Pareto Charts and Histograms to help with improvement initiatives
Publicize the results
40. Dashboards and Control Charts 40 Conclusion Integrating tools and methodologies such as
Statistical Process Control
Systems Thinking
Hazards Control
and Leading indicators
With the People and Human Performance
Will lead to success.
