Toyota Way Fieldbook : A Practical Guide for Implementing Toyota's 4Ps

One-quarter indicates a person who is currently being trained. This person

should never be left alone on the job, since they do not completely under-

stand the safety and quality requirements. One-half of the circle represents

a person who may be left on the job alone but requires close monitoring.

This person may be too slow to completely work alone. Three-quarters of

a circle represents a person who needs very little supervision but may

lack complete knowledge of some aspects of the job. This person can

work alone most of the time. A full circle represents a fully trained person

who needs no supervision, has complete knowledge of the safety and

quality rules, and can maintain the required pace. Some people use the

full circle to indicate ability to actually train another person, but this

requires completion of the full Job Instruction Training class.

6. Each person’s capabilities are totaled and placed in the column at the
   end. Usually, the supervisor will make an assessment at the beginning,
   middle, and end of each year to evaluate whether the training plan has
   been achieved. This allows the supervisor to track the progress of each
   individual.
