You may wish to start off with bi-weekly sessions and move to monthly once you gain some momentum.  Suggested topics for the first couple of sessions:
Develop a Team Charter
Review training curriculum for relevancy and completeness
Brainstorm FOD prevention techniques using a Cause & Effect matrix
Provide guidance on whether/how to implement Work Area Control Plans
Provide feedback on implementation of FOD Housekeeping Zones

Monthly Operating Review
Include FOD as an agenda item to review the following –

 Positive/Negative Trends based on metrics – follow-up on corrective actions (who/by when)
 Corrective Actions issued that month and status on corrective actions (who/by when) – and sustaining
 Recognition of behaviors we wish to reinforce
 Random FOD Audits – summarize findings and report them out each month - as well as other internal or customer audits are scheduled, we will report the findings and corrective actions (who/by when)
 Risk Mitigation Plan – we don’t do this today, but we need to develop a Risk Assessment (Severity/Likelihood) and then report out on the mitigation strategies
 Help Needed!
 

2.0 FOD Prevention Program, FOD Awareness Campaign
 Suggestions

FOD Walks – management should participate as well as employees who are not otherwise assigned to the production area.   Hold a contest to see who collects the most FOD – judge by physical size or weight.  Bag the FOD and display on your FOD Awareness boards. 

Caution – do not let these walks take on the appearance of a social gathering – stand shoulder to shoulder, eyes directed downward and cover the perimeter.  Provide FOD containers for the participants.  No talking on cells phones and no bunching up of the crowd!  Invite your customer to walk with you.

Divide the work area into “Housekeeping Zones”. One or more employees are assigned to a zone and are responsible for end of shift clean-up.  Recommend you rotate the crew members through all the zones on a weekly basis so they eventually take ownership of the entire area.  This visibility ensures the employees are reminding one another to “clean-as-you-go” during the day and provides the individual accountability necessary to sustain good housekeeping practices.

Design a chart for daily/weekly FOD walks/Sweeps.  Post it and insure that all employees in the area participate in its use.

The Work Area Control Plan is a mechanism to allow you to customize the implementation of your FOD & Tool Control procedure by maintenance and refurbishment area – to account for unique differences in the nature of the work, the skill level of the crew, and the expectations of the customer.  The area foreman will collaborate with the crew (quality and the customer should be included) to identify the potential risk for foreign object damage to the product and document the area, people, tool and hardware controls specific to that area.
