Run World Class Manufacturing without the ten binders.

WCM program

Pillar action plans, audits, KPIs, skills and tier meetings in one place. Every pillar works from the same backlog and the same numbers, and the plant is audit-ready on any day of the year.

Ten pillars, ten spreadsheets

Each pillar team keeps its own action list, its own board and its own slide deck. Nobody can say which actions are late across the plant, or whether the losses found last quarter were ever closed. Then the audit date lands, and two weeks go into refreshing boards and collecting evidence that should have existed all along.

One operating system under every WCM pillar

TeamGuru gives all pillars one backlog of owned, dated actions, one KPI cascade from plant to line, one audit engine and one meeting rhythm. Pillar leads work in their own view. The plant manager sees all of it. Evidence builds up as a by-product of daily work, so the audit shows what the plant does every day.

What you get

Audits that close their own findings

Run 5S, autonomous maintenance, safety and layered process audits from a phone. Every failed item becomes a corrective action with the photo, the location and the auditor attached, and scores trend by area so you see where standards slip.

One backlog for every pillar

Focused improvement projects, kaizens, audit findings and meeting actions live in one list, each with an owner and a due date. Filter by pillar, area or person and see overdue work before the steering committee asks.

KPIs from plant to line

Track safety, quality, delivery, cost and OEE targets in one KPI tree. A red number at line level links to the action or the root cause analysis that answers it, so the priorities from your cost deployment stay tied to real work.

People development you can show

Skills matrices per line show who can do what, at which level, and which gap is being closed next. With training plans and leader standard work, the people development pillar becomes something an auditor can verify person by person.

A meeting rhythm that carries it

Tier meetings run from live boards with the KPIs, open actions and escalations of that level. A problem the shift cannot solve moves up a tier with its context, and the decision comes back down as an owned action.

Which pillar runs where

TeamGuru carries the management layer of each pillar: who owns what, what the audits found, whether the numbers move. Work orders, material planning and machine data stay in your CMMS, ERP and MES.

Pillar What TeamGuru carries Runs in
Safety and health Incidents, near misses, safety walks and the actions they trigger.
Cost deployment Loss KPIs by line and the actions that attack them. The cost matrices stay in your finance tools.
Focused improvement Kaizens and improvement projects with owners, due dates and verified results.
Autonomous maintenance and workplace organization 5S and CIL audits on a phone. Abnormalities escalate to the right tier.
Professional maintenance Breakdown root cause analyses and maintenance KPIs. Work orders stay in your CMMS.
Quality control Quality alerts, root cause and corrective actions, 8D reports.
Logistics and customer service Delivery KPIs and supplier issues. Material planning stays in your ERP.
Early equipment management Launch projects, lessons learned and the standards they produce.
People development Skills matrices, training plans and leader standard work.
Environment and energy Environmental KPIs, audits and actions in the same system.
Managerial pillars Objectives cascaded with Hoshin Kanri, the route map as a tracked plan, reviews in tier meetings.

Common questions

Is TeamGuru an official or certified WCM tool? +
No. TeamGuru is not affiliated with any WCM audit body and claims no certification. It is a management system for the work underneath the pillars: actions, audits, KPIs, skills and meetings. It works the same whether you follow the Fiat and Yamashina pillar model, your own production system or a plain Lean program.
We call it operational excellence, not WCM. Does it still fit? +
Yes. The work underneath is the same: audits, actions, KPIs, skills and tier meetings. Only the pillar names differ.
Does it replace our CMMS, ERP or MES? +
No. Work orders, material planning and machine data stay where they are. TeamGuru carries the management layer on top: who owns which action, what the audits found, whether the KPIs are moving and what each meeting decided. KPI values can be imported from other systems, and an API is available on the Enterprise Plus plan.
How does it help with WCM audits? +
Audit preparation mostly means proving that routines run: audits done on schedule, findings closed, KPIs reviewed, skills developed. In TeamGuru that record exists because the work ran through it, with dates, owners and photos. The score is still yours to earn. The two weeks of collecting evidence go away.
We are just starting with WCM. Is it too early for software? +
It is the easiest time. Start with the daily management basics in a model area: a KPI board, tier meetings, one action list and 5S audits. Switch on further modules as pillars mature. Our World Class Manufacturing guide describes the sequence we recommend.
How long does a rollout take? +
A model area can be live within days, because modules are switched on one at a time and TeamGuru digitizes your existing forms and checklists for free. A sensible start is one line and two or three modules, then expansion pillar by pillar.
