JEDI

See where value leaves your plant while the board still looks fine.

JEDI shows where value is being lost and who can fix it, in one clear red/yellow/green report.

Your shift logs, handoff notes, emails and messages already say where value is eroding: the fault that keeps coming back, the hold nobody owns, the spec change the next shift never heard about. It's buried in the noise, and nobody has time to read it all.

Who built it: Nathan Scalf. 25 years in industrial and production work. Learned advanced manufacturing from Purdue, covering the Toyota Production System, lean, kaizen, root cause analysis and analytical problem solving.

Plant signals run through JEDI and come out in order: active value erosion, threat to value production, erosion stopped, and opportunity for improvement.

What JEDI gives you

Every shift's typed or digital messages come back sorted by what matters most.
Each loss shows which of the five sources owns it.
It names a likely source and the closest owner for you to confirm on the floor.
Each line suggests who to take it to, so it doesn't have to wait for the next meeting.
Red, Yellow, Green and Black show anyone in the plant where to act next.

What the colors mean

Red: value is eroding now.
Yellow: a threat to value production.
Green: value production is restored, even if the root cause isn't known yet. The report marks the root cause as still to be determined.
Black is an improvement opportunity, including repeated similar erosion that calls for continuous improvement.

In testing on 100 made-up shift-note lines, JEDI colored about two out of three correctly. Each line shows its evidence so you can check it.
