ABOUT OUR SEPTEMBER TOPIC: Operational Excellence
Changing a comfortable-but-aging manufacturing system is similar to changing a comfortable-but-aging automobile: There is procrastination and often denial. “Why would I trade in my car now? It runs like a charm. I can get another 100,000 miles out of this gem!”
Eventually there comes a time when the cost of repair is too great; reality forces us to look seriously at the practical benefits of an upgrade. In manufacturing entities, thoughts of change occur when profits begin to shrink due to rising labor costs, swelling inventory, mounting scrap, creeping utility costs … the list is long.
Those with foresight recognize when it’s strategically time to trade in that familiar old car—or that familiar operating system—and derive benefit from new options, better quality, and higher performance.
Would you welcome the opportunity to build a stronger collaborative environment and elevate your business for optimal performance? Would you accept the challenge of propelling your business to its operational peak?
If you and your business are ready for a fresh perspective, ready to entertain the idea of assessment and the possibilities you might discover, consider the value of an Operational Excellence program.
