This powerful 1-hour FREE 3rd Thursday - “Operations Improvement Series” Webinar has but one important objective… to share some of the important techniques that GREAT Plant Managers use to improve productivity, lower costs, lower WIP inventories and increase throughput within their manufacturing environments.
There are good Plant Managers and there are GREAT Plant Managers. The difference in daily activities and reporting requirements between these two categories can be significant:
■ A good Plant Manager knows his/her factory utilization. A GREAT Plant Manager knows it at every work center and also knows the limitations imposed by the bottleneck centers.
■ A good Plant Manager knows his/her labor, materials and burden variances. A GREAT Plant Manager knows the root-cause of these variances and has a specific plan to compensate for today’s variances in future periods.
■ A good Plant Manager knows his/her quality levels. A GREAT Plant Manger routinely employs enabling tools that allows every operator to self-identify, self-prioritize and self-eliminate waste from their span of operations.
■ A good Plant Manager knows how automation can help to reduce defects and costs. A GREAT Plant Manager knows how to get 90% of the same results with existing processes.
■ A Good Plant Manager knows which employees are most productive. A GREAT Plant Manager knows why they are productive and has a plan to propagate the reasons for productivity success across the broader population of operators.
During this webinar, we will present and demonstrate some reporting tools that GREAT Plant Managers routinely employ when running their part of the manufacturing enterprise.
We will also present some samples of performance measurements that GREAT Plant Managers use to help lead them to underlying operational dysfunctions before the dysfunctions manifest into unfavorable hits to their plant’s COGS.
