How the Process Informs the PracticeThe Path to Manufacturing Excellence & Success

Bringing world-class manufacturing quality and safety to global organizations doesn’t come easily. In an organization undertaking a lean transformation and striving for operational excellence and continuous improvement, leadership’s role is even more critical. When rolling out an improvement effort, executives are initially excited by the early returns from low-hanging fruit, but many quickly become disenchanted when the pace of improvement weakens or pauses.

Most manufacturers are investing resources, time, and effort into improving their operations. However, few executives are satisfied with the results. Why? Often it’s because improvement initiatives aren’t aligned with overall organizational objectives and management practices. For improvements to stick, an organization needs a well-targeted performance management system — one that drives goals and improvement by area, line, and function.

What should a Performance Management System include?

  1. Strategic clarity and alignment
  2. Standardized processes
  3. An educated, engaged, and empowered workforce
  4. Leaders who are coaches, teachers, and mentors
  5. A culture of problem-solving and continuous improvement
