So, we need all the help we can get in running this massive operation I call my family.<\/p>\n\n<p>That brings us to the Buddy Wheel.<\/p>\n<h2>What is The Buddy Wheel<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple really. The Buddy Wheel is an easy way, that takes advantage of <a title=\"visual management in lean manufacturing\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/about-peter-abilla\/what-is-visual-management\/\">Visual Management Principles<\/a>, to manage resources and responsibilities: People and Time. Another aspect in managing people and time is the aspect of who and when &#8211; because here we&#8217;re talking about essentially a round robin of people.<\/p>\n<p>For our family, The Buddy Wheel is a way to do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each child looks out for another child<\/li>\n<li>Each child is being looked out for<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In our case, &#8220;looks out for&#8221; means several things. If your buddy is a smaller child, then that might mean that the buddy reminds the younger sibling to brush teeth and change their underwear. If a older sibling is buddies with another older sibling, then the buddy might choose to do secret service, such as making the person&#8217;s bed or doing something nice for him or her.<\/p>\n<p>True, they&#8217;re one and the same, but creating and formalizing this combinatorial\u00a0symmetric\u00a0relationship was the challenge (I made up the word, I&#8217;m pretty sure).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10470 aligncenter\" title=\"buddy-wheel-family-0\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-0-e1338496783345.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"651\" height=\"871\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How To Create a Buddy Wheel<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1<\/h3>\n<p>Go to Excel, and create a pie chart. For my family, I created a pie chart with 10 slices because there are 10 people on the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Note: we have 9 kids. But, I added my wife&#8217;s face so that she has a buddy. Why? Well, she broke her foot two weeks ago and her buddy will help her while she&#8217;s hobbling around the house.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2<\/h3>\n<p>Then, create the outer wheel by cutting out a cardboard larger than the pic chart and continue the pic cuts across the larger wheel.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3<\/h3>\n<p>Print 2 faces of each of your family members and glue one face on the inner wheel and the same face on the larger wheel. Make sure the faces line up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10469 aligncenter\" title=\"buddy-wheel-family-1\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/buddy-wheel-family-1-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For example, in my Buddy Wheel, the face on the outside wheel takes care of the face on the inside wheel.
