Define a target and an actual measure for Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and People.
What it's for
Use this SQDCP daily meeting checklist to keep the working record, its evidence and follow-up together. Define a target and an actual measure for Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and People. Use the same reporting period for each comparison.
SQDCP or SQCDP?
SQDCP and SQCDP use the same five letters; only the order of Delivery and Cost changes. Typical SQCDP examples are days without a recordable injury for Safety, scrap or first-pass yield for Quality, output against plan for Delivery, overtime or scrap cost for Cost, and attendance or training completed for People. Choose one measure per letter, show it on the board and use this SQDCP template to run the meeting against it. When the same miss keeps returning, rank its causes on a Pareto chart.

Completed manufacturing example
The daily review records a missed output target and excess scrap, then assigns the sensor and burr investigations to named owners. Today’s actual is added at shift end.
Yesterday’s delivery gap is 190 - 200 = -10. A met target does not mean every related risk is closed; the near-miss action remains visible.
When to use this template
The checklist supports the meeting. It is not a live performance dashboard and does not define universal KPI targets.

Questions, answered.
01
What does SQDCP stand for?
Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and People. SQCDP is the same set with Cost and Delivery in the other order; both are used for daily tier meetings and visual boards in lean manufacturing.
02
What is an SQDCP board?
A visual board, usually at the line, that shows each letter's target and actual for the day or month, often with a red or green status and a list of open actions. The daily meeting reviews the misses and assigns owners.
03
What are some SQCDP examples of metrics?
Safety: near misses reported or days without a recordable injury. Quality: scrap or first-pass yield. Delivery: output against plan. Cost: overtime hours or scrap cost. People: attendance or training completed. Choose measures the team can influence.
04
How long should an SQDCP meeting take?
Tier 1 meetings commonly run for 10 to 15 minutes, standing at the board. Keep to exceptions and actions, and escalate anything the team cannot resolve to the next tier.
