How to plan Operational Excellence for the Year 2023?

An organisation must have two components to achieve operational excellence in 2023: an operational discipline and an integrated management system. A holistic management system is a framework that integrates procedures and standards. It allows a business to identify and manage the risks that come with a course or project. The best way to characterize operational excellence, according to Business Dictionary, is as follows: “A workplace philosophy in which problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership lead to an organization’s continuous progress. Focusing on the needs of consumers, keeping employees positive and empowered, and constantly improving existing workplace activities are all part of the process.” Because your operational house is in order, overall excellence leads to next-level performance. In reality, the notion of operational excellence can be whatever your organization determines. Many people feel that the key concepts of operational excellence imply outperforming your competitors by increasing revenue and cutting costs. It’s also a mindset that’s deeply embedded in your company’s culture and encourages your employees to keep improving. What Are Your Operational Objectives? Six Sigma, Lean Management, Kaizen, are examples of operational excellence approaches. Each approach has its own set of guiding principles that will assist you in making judgments. Operational goals are concerned with increasing firm productivity and improving the quality of products or services. Increasing safety precautions and improving product or service adaptability are two examples of goals. For operational excellence, you’ll need the right tools and technologies. The good news is that there are numerous project management solutions available. The bad news is that few of them offer all of the features needed to create business-wide operational excellence. When it comes to sourcing technology, Directors of Operations should seek for platforms that can: Optimize labor : intensive procedures: Tools that automate manual processes reduce human error and boost efficiency. Improve team efficiency: Tools that map skills and availability to predicted work can help teams make better use of their resources. Increase data visibility: Tools that convey granular data from across the organisation quickly can aid in better informed strategic decision-making. Boost profitability: Tools that report on a variety of key parameters can help you improve your bottom line. Operating Excellence Principles When critical roles to the company’s growth aren’t accomplished, it’s one of the most telling signals that the principles of operational excellence aren’t being followed. This is frequently due to the fact that the persons in charge of these duties are not given enough time to perform them. Managers must use operational excellence principles to overcome these difficulties. There are a few different sets of principles that are used to quantify this, but they all involve the same elements which include: 1. Start with the end in mind. 2. Assisting various groups 3. Working together to develop workflows 4. Automate time-consuming tasks 5. Make use of graphs, charts, and timelines 6. Establish time management procedures. 7. Automate processes that are repeated frequently. 8. Create a common work template for staff to use in the event of a disruption in the flow. 9. Encourage employees to take responsibility for their own actions. 10. Effectively use resources Team Faber Infinite has helped 150+ clients in various industries across geographies in successfully implementing operational excellence processes and benefitting from them. With our structured framework, we have helped many clients in achieving excellence and attaining continual improvement and sustainable development.  Contact us for more information on www.faberinfinite.com Written by Faber Aleena & Compiled by Faber Mayuri Picture credit: FacilitiesNet

Operational excellence tools for production improvement

Did you know, one of the leading automotive components manufacturing Organizations. That was able to improve their annual throughput by $1 million by implementing operational excellence tools for Production Improvement? One of the leading automotive components manufacturing organizations was facing difficulties in improving the throughput of their day-to-day manufacturing processes. Issues such as low or no production process taking place for a long period of time while changing shifts were few of them. There were ideally 3 shifts and the average time taken to change the shift was 30 minutes. Organization was not able to bear the cost incurred with this unproductive time. Operational Excellence Tools for Production Hence, the management decided to implement operational excellence tools. The changeover processes were crafted in such a way that it would reduce the downtime and allow enough cleaning time and maintenance time for machines in the working area. The process was implemented on the team. This new process needed all the employees of the organization to spend a few minutes of their shift cleaning their workstation. and servicing their regular equipment and informing the operator who will replace them in the next shift about concerns or critical information of the machines or the procedures. The operators of the previous shift were used to leaving their work incomplete, thus leaving for the following operator to complete their tasks. However, this was later put to an end and the operator in the next shift had to start the task fresh. Apart from this, to utilize the unproductive time, the operators of the previous shift were also supposed to finish the paperwork or any type of cleaning only once the new / replacing operator has begun working. Utilizing the one and a half-hour that was wasted led to improved results. Streamlining the process of shift change drastically increased the production capacity thus increasing their annual throughput with $1 million. This process was then made a protocol to be followed by each and every unit of production across the plant. Hence, as you can see, implementing operational excellence in the process can help an organisation improve with such a huge capacity of production. So, have you started implementing operational excellence tools?
