KPI & Asakai —
Daily Management System Training
A hands-on training program designed to build a data-driven decision culture, manage performance daily and develop the discipline of taking rapid action.
Why KPI and Asakai?
What cannot be measured cannot be managed. A KPI system makes performance visible; Asakai turns that data into action every day on the floor through a short, focused meeting. Together they form the backbone of daily management discipline.
Program Content
The training covers every component of the daily management system, from KPI selection and tree structure to Asakai meeting discipline, and from visual management boards to problem and action management.
01 KPI Fundamentals
- What is a KPI? The difference between KPI and KAI
- Choosing the right KPIs and building a KPI tree
- Target breakdown and performance tracking
- Distinguishing lagging from leading indicators
- KPI ownership and the responsibility structure
02 Visual Management & Line Boards
- The philosophy and principles of visual management
- Line board design and content structure
- Daily / weekly / monthly data flow
- Dashboard logic and readability
- Understanding the shop floor at a glance
03 Asakai — The Daily Meeting System
- What is Asakai and how is it structured?
- Daily meeting structure and discipline
- The role of the meeting facilitator
- Spotting deviations and taking rapid action
- Integrating Asakai with 5S and OEE
04 Problem & Action Management
- Real-time problem identification and classification
- The action card and follow-up mechanism
- Managing responsibility and deadlines
- Root cause analysis of recurring problems
- The link to the Kaizen cycle
Daily Program Flow
The morning block covers KPI system and visual management theory; in the afternoon a KPI set is built for a sample plant, a line board is designed and a real Asakai meeting is simulated.
Application & Workshop (13:30 – 16:00)
- Building a KPI set for a sample plant
- Line board / dashboard design
- Asakai meeting simulation
- Problem and action management exercise
KPI Fundamentals & Tree Structure
Covers what a KPI is, how it differs from a KAI, choosing the right KPIs, target breakdown and the lagging/leading indicator distinction.
Visual Management & the Asakai System
Covers line board design, dashboard logic, and the structure and discipline of the Asakai meeting.
KPI Set & Board Design Workshop
A group-based KPI set is built and a line board designed using a sample plant scenario.
Asakai Simulation & Action Plan
A real Asakai meeting is simulated; problem identification and action management are practised.

Consultant & Instructor
With 24 years of automotive experience, Ertuğrul Turgay designs programs that take KPI systems and daily management routines to the shop floor through the WCM methodology. He treats Asakai discipline and visual management not as a theoretical narrative but as shop-floor-specific practices that change behaviour.
