FLAG Announces March Lunch & Learn Event: Using Metrics, Standards and Visual Management to Accelerate Performance

Flexo Label Advantage Group LLC (FLAG) announces its upcoming March 2025 Lunch & Learn, happening Thursday, March 27 at 2:00 PM EST. This month’s session, “How to Use Metrics, Standards, and Visual Management to Accelerate Performance,” will be presented by Brian Van de Water of SPL Consulting.

SPL Consulting specializes in helping businesses implement proven strategies to enhance productivity and sustain long-term success.

In this session, attendees will gain a clear understanding of what metrics are and how to use them effectively to measure and drive business success. The discussion will highlight why metrics matter, emphasizing how data-driven insights can align teams, improve decision-making, and fuel overall growth. Additionally, the session will explore the power of establishing standards, demonstrating how clear benchmarks create consistency, enhance efficiency, and ensure quality across processes. Finally, participants will learn how to apply work cell metrics and visual management techniques, utilizing visual triggers to monitor performance, identify improvement opportunities, and address potential issues before they escalate.

"Success starts with measurement. Understanding and applying the right metrics can be the difference between a business that thrives and one that struggles," said JC McKay, President of FLAG. "This session will give our Members the tools they need to track performance, establish strong standards, and create a visual approach to improvement."
