SQP

Safety, Quality, Productivity! When I worked for Meadow Gold Dairies we had this program called SQP. It was a good system that helped keep people safe and improve quality and productivity and therefore also increased morale and profitability. I’ve been thinking it would be good to implement this program with the construction company I am working for and the Lord seemed to say why don’t you implement it into your life?

Safety

You know the old saying, “safety is our number one priority!” But in reality it’s usually not. There’s a certain amount of risk that’s acceptable but when you cross the boundary then you are bound to soon see a sudden decrease in productivity. It only takes about a second to get hurt and it takes seemingly “forever” to heal. The healing time is the ”mean time” and the mean time is down time and costs a lot that’s why it’s so mean. Down time is frustrating, boring and eats away at your goals. Even a slight injury can hinder you physically, financially, spiritually or relationally. It can take years to recover physically and financially from an accident that happened in seconds. And most accidents aren’t the result of taking a risk but of over stepping the bounds in stupidity. The vast majority of wise, healthy and rich people in every area of life not just financially say there is no such thing as “get rich quick!” While the dumb, sick and poor people continue to rush to try to get ahead in life. And even though they are going fast enough and working hard enough to win the race they very seldom do because they keep crashing. That’s why it really is “safety first” because if you don’t have safety then you won’t have productivity. You might be able to “go really fast” and see short bursts of progress and think your doing really well for a moment, and that’s usually right before you hit the wall. Then all the “sudden progress” will be for naught and how many times will you crash before you learn the lesson that’s being taught? Don’t you hate the thought of lying in bed distraught and overwrought thinking this could all have been avoided if I would have given that “quick idea” a second thought?

So slow down speed freak! If you really wanna go faster then you gotta to be willing to go slower. I know your lightning fast brain is having a hard time computing this but that’s just the way it is baby! It rarely the “speediest” one that wins the but the smartest and safest that ends up the fastest. If you’ve been seeing a lot of the wall lately this might just be the answer if you want a checkered flag in the future!
