What is Daily Work Management?
The concept of Daily Work Management meeting is basically regularly reaching out to each & every person working at various levels so that a structured review mechanism where a formal discussion is facilitated related to details and communication.
Daily Management is the system that provides the ability to manage departments, functions, and processes, wherein processes are defined, standardized, controlled, and improved by the process owners.
The important aspect is that the management should be done on a day-to-day basis. This ensures that daily jobs and daily objectives are accomplished strictly on daily basis. There is a perfect control system built into daily management, which does not ordinarily allow any slip up on daily plans, activities and results.
Business, we know, is now so complex and difficult, the survival of firms so hazardous in an environment increasingly unpredictable, competitive, and fraught with danger, that there continued existence depends on the day-to-day mobilization of every ounce of intelligence.
7 Keys to Daily Work Management:
-
- Planning and execution of daily plans on a day-to-day basis by everyone in the organization at each level from top to bottom.
- Set of tasks and activities to be executed during the day as per a decided sequence on a timeline.
- The daily plan should be derived from the organization’s vision and mission and the long-term/annual objectives and departmental objectives. These get translated into the department’s key performance areas (KPA) or key result areas (KRA) as well as the job/position descriptions. In turn, each KPA/KRA is expressed in terms of measurable objectives in that area.
- Since an organization’s annual plans are driven by the external customers’ requirements, ultimately each department’s plan also is focused to fulfill customer requirements.
- The daily deliverables of each department must fulfill the daily requirements of its next internal customer departments. Therefore, the daily plan of each department and each individual in the department should satisfy this condition.
- Day’s plan thus arrived at is then the basis for executing the daily tasks and activities. Each activity thus decided must, therefore, be executed in accordance with the daily plan.
- In doing so, continuous improvements will have to be effected to ensure that higher performance is achieved within the existing resources and with high productivity.
