Together, we can solve meaningful problems in manufacturing.Talk about chaos and complexity these days! It can be tough to get things done. It seems that every day brings new and bigger challenges. As your leading technology launches and you find new markets, your logistics and production staff stretch to the ends of their considerable talents.The big problem coming is that regardless of the cleverness of your people and your products to solve your customer’s problem, the devil is in the details. Supply chain, factory layout, new product training, fixturing/tooling, you-name-it – new revenue is tough to come by.Imagine a situation where new revenue opportunities enter your fulfillment process and flow through, unimpeded, to the customer. All issues are anticipated and addressed quickly and flawlessly before they impact the customer.Unfortunately, doing more of what we’ve been doing won’t work because it will simply overwhelm us.What if we applied our collective knowledge and understanding of what works and what doesn’t to create a whole new fulfillment process that flexes to repeatably address challenges and variations?The solution has two parts: A. The amazing depth and breadth of the expertise in your organization among the individuals doing the day-to-day work. B. My proven analytical problem-solving approach gleaned from years of engineering, operations, and executive experience.The first steps are: 1. A facility tour to get the lay of the land and meet the key contributors. 2. An initial assessment to define the area best suited for an initial improvement. 3. A follow up meeting to define the first target condition.It’s not unusual for the tour and assessment to identify some immediate, simple improvements that can be made right away. We also show your associates honest interest in their contributions and challenges. In one instance, we immediately reorganized a bench set up that reduced changeover time to near zero from close to an hour.When we get this right, we will have unleashed the incredibly creative problem-solving skills of your entire organization. Any problem or opportunity won’t stand a chance against the ability of your people to define the situation, see and analyze the root cause, select a viable solution, and implement it.=> Call me at 971-361-2970 to develop Your Next Target™ or take a look at some case studies at https://www.next-target.com/case-studies.html and contact me from there.
