Achieving a high-performance factory is extremely challenging.
Invariably, it's a constant battle to keep everyone on a path to improvement.
Having worked with hundreds of organisations, we see the same challenges appear week in week out:
-
A lack of knowledge:
For example, line performance has plateaued despite the team's best efforts, resulting in embedded under-performance.
-
A culture of taking the easy approach:
For example, machine speeds are turned down to hide problems impacting output.
-
No robust systems in place for effective improvement:
For example, ineffective machine maintenance results in a culture of cardboard engineering.
-
Staff don't have the know-how to drive performance.
For example, there is no consistent use of root-cause problem-solving tools, so the team doesn't know why a given problem went away, or why it reappears later.
Fundamentally, a factory is no more than the sum of its people.
There are three things in place in all high-performing factories:
A - Attitudes
Open-minded teams willing to make change are the foundation of Manufacturing Excellence
B - Behaviours
Motivated, high-performing staff maintain energy and the enthusiasm and lead by example
C - Capabilities
Highly effective operational teams not only understand their business inside out, but have the skills and knowledge to apply industry best practice
