Achieve your vision of
operational excellence<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing cultures thrive on routine and consistency which can create resistance to adjusting procedures that could improve performance. Sometimes, an external prompt is helpful to avoid being stuck and to focus\u202fattention on the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

With an emphasis on skill-transfer, Targeted Performance Improvement (TPI) challenges employees to develop solutions that improve performance against key metrics. By diagnosing improvement opportunities and building and supporting the skills needed to pursue them, organizations can use TPI to make rapid progress towards manufacturing excellence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Separate symptoms from\u202fcauses through RCA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Root cause analysis exposes how the components interact and reveals where\u202fimprovements must be made. Root cause analysis investigations of complex systems and their\u202fdependencies yield quality solutions that avoid unforeseen, potentially negative consequences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing problems should not be solved in\u202fisolation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Problem is, they often are. By improving capabilities, teams can tackle the best opportunities for\u202fimprovement. With training, facilitation and coaching, problem solvers can resolve increasingly complex issues, manage multiple problems in parallel, and balance long- and short-term\u202fimpacts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Have teams primed to make targeted improvements through Advanced RCA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Good intentions are not enough. People must have the capabilities required to effectively apply skills to improving equipment and product performance, scheduling\/handover, inventory levels, downtime, and other problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Set the stage for ongoing continuous improvement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Targeted Performance Improvement delivers results in a few months. It begins with a diagnostic assessment that identifies opportunities for improvement. One of those opportunities might be developing skills and team leaders who can facilitate, perform, and repeat targeted projects. Establishing a critical mass of competence is an important step in minimizing resistance to change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
