Aligning Manufacturing Resources with Organizational Improvement Strategy

Overview 

Buyers today all expect just-in-time production from their factories. The price the buyer is willing to pay and the factory’s profit are unchangeable. The only variable left in the equation which the factory can affect is manufacturing costs. The only way to reduce costs is through a Lean structure.

This course will assist directors, senior managers and improvement teams to better understand the culture and principles driving Lean Manufacturing, how it changes the way manufacturing is carried out and how buyers’ demands are met.

Transforming manufacturing facilities into competitive world-class platforms requires a holistic plan aligned with the organization’s overall goals. A transformation policy must be drawn up that deploys all the manufacturing resources into a common direction within a long-term strategic plan. A successful transformational change is predicated upon an organization's ability to understand the dimensions influencing change interventions and to better understand why some Lean interventions succeed while others do not.

Factory owners and directors must understand the relationship between organizational performance and change dimensions and their impact on the organization’s needs. Last but not least, the financial aspect must be examined as the primary key towards gaining a competitive edge through sustained cost transformation.

This stage known as Lean Transformation is a start-up action that creates the baseline for improvement. When transformation change is complete, the next stage whereby a continuous improvement culture is established, completes the Lean journey.
