Ratcheting Up Performance covers the second part of the Lean TPM Road map to industry leading performance. The first part of the journey "Improving Reliability and Resilience" deals with the causes of unplanned downtime and releases the time taken up in responding to these unpredictable events.
This second step concerns the use of Focussed Improvement tactics to define a realistic and achievable improvement glide path and mobilise actions to progress along it. The gains include improved process consistency, reduced defects and energy costs.
A good place to start is a review of the daily/weekly management routine to identify the balance between effort needed to deal with today's issues compared to that invested in raising future performance.
This will reveal the shop floor reality and level of alignment between cross functional performance improvement priorities.
That could include the Performance Management Best Practice for Manufacturing Leaders 2 hour online working session. This is designed to engage up to 8 internal stakeholders with an assessment of current practices and the development of practical action plans to deal with issues identified.
The review provides the context mobilisation training workshops such as TPM Best Practice Leadership or Front Line Skill Development Best Practice. For organisations that are more advanced this could include online First Line Leadership Development coaching or Lean Maintenance Strategy training workshops either as an in house or hotel based open course option.
One of the outcomes from these courses is the development of quarterly Workplace Learning Cycles. This is a really useful way to make improvement a part of the daily management process. Here is a link to a short Workplace Learning video summarising the approach.
