Manufacturing Insights

Before we launch into Operational Excellence, we work with the client organisation  to develop Performance Insights and secure Collaboration to thus reveal it’s latent improvement potential

Performance Insights
We delve into the data and triangulate with client knowledge and our own industry experience to synthesise a concept of cause and effect. The Insights we generate inform the sequence, emphasis and pace of the Operational Excellence implementation
Collaboration

We approach the challenge of collaboration by studying your organisation through the lenses of Structure, People, Symbols and Politics. The insights we develop help us to target our coaching interventions based on creating shared purpose and behaviours

Key Questions for Manufacturing Operational Excellence

Process Discipline

Are our processes in control?

  • Is the process window defined and visualised?

  • Do we have a clear set of rules around process confirmation and interventions – when, how, who?

  • How do we respond to the process drifting out of the control window?

Daily Management

Are we winning or losing?

  • Are our output measures telling us what we need to know?
  • Can we judge performance at a glance?
  • Are we having timely course correction conversations and taking action?

At all levels of the organisation

Problem Solving

Are we solving our problems successfully?

  • Are we using Daily Management and Process Discipline  to focus our problem solving efforts?
  • Have we given our teams a common problem solving language and toolset?
  • Has the problem solving process resulted in new, actionable knowledge?

Operational Resilience

 Are we reducing our risks systematically?

  • How do we target our CAPEX to expand the process window?

  • Where do we target expert interventions that increase process availability and reduce variability e.g. CFM, Changeover Reduction, Six Sigma

  • How do we engage our Supply Chain for increased flexibility
