Mastering Operational Excellence: A Bane Called Cost Cutting

On a simple note, companies can be classified into two categories, namely, good or bad. Good companies are proactive, bad companies are reactive. One builds muscles, while the other builds fat! Recession or no recession, good companies who have focused on cutting fat & strengthening their muscles (read as internal processes). This they do by sustaining a structured program focused on building operational excellence. On the other hand, reactive companies are left clueless in dealing with the slow down. The general tendency is to react to the ever changing environment. However, being reactive will be less helpful than being responsive. If any company which is stock rich and fat (instead of being fit), it losses the ability of responding and in turn compulsorily has to react to the changing markets. This dynamic behavior can be attributed to the amount of stocks lying in the supply chain. Essential point to appreciate here is that companies don’t compete but the supply chains do. It was found during the slowdowns in the past, that all those manufacturing companies, who had over the years worked on, leaning their supply chains, survived or emerged stronger. They were capable of being flexible with delivery times, batch quantities as they were lean and nimble. Interestingly, higher the amount of inventory in the supply chain, lesser responsive the companies are. In contrast, manufacturing companies that had not worked on LEANing their supply chain, witnessed more intense problems. During the tough times they had to drive immediate change in the prices and orders deliveries, which inevitably forced the companies to hastily alter the manufacturing and supply chain practices. Operational Excellence: The Cornerstone of Organizational Success Those companies which managed to adapt to the change survived. Operational Excellence (OE) is one of the cornerstones to Organizational Success and Transformation. OE ensures the basic stability of the working where the health of machines, continuous flow of material, short throughput time and excellent quality ratio are the parameters that determine the competitiveness of the organization as well as decide customer satisfaction. Needless to say, customer is king and it is essential to heighten his/ her satisfaction levels to delight stage to survive in the market. The strategic parking position of the inventory decides the responsiveness of the supply chain. Now, to maintain optimum inventory at the upstream levels is the key. If the inventory is upstream that is at the raw material form (towards supplier end) is good. Best would be just in time! Concepts of producing to takt time (customer demand rate) and shortest throughput times (time to manufacture) are not mere concepts there but real requirement. Readers will appreciate that concept of Just in Time (JIT) is very glitzy. However, to reach the stage of Leanness parameters quoted earlier should be considered. And one can reach this destination of LEAN by a structured program for transformation. It is known by different names; some call it TPS (Toyota Production System), others WCM (World Class Manufacturing), some call it LEAN – all world class companies have different names for the structure. But as it is said, ‘All roads lead to Rome.’ All systems lead to one destination of world class performance. And, at the cost of repetition, I would like to mention that world class performance was necessary just to survive the storm of the situation. Many organizations resorted to cost cutting initiatives and in turn cut the muscles and not the waste. What we intend to say is rather than attacking the muscles, one should hit the fat – the waste in the system by cost management and not cost cutting. Identification of bad actors quickly is important and cost – benefit and time – benefit analysis of the problem solution holds key. One should start from the low hanging fruits and keep moving towards tougher targets. Now is not the time to get lost in semantics, one has to identify where the value is lost, identifying their causes and rapidly acting to fix them. Problem solving capability at all levels is vital for the above mentioned points. If we relate this further to the culture of the organization, it should be conducive to highlight problems which lead to improving the current situation. To conclude, I would like to quote Benjamin Franklin. As he rightly said “Watch the little things; a small leak will sink a great ship!” So, watch out for the waste and sail smoothly even in stormy weather.

Operational Excellence Management and Manufacturing

Operational excellence is the pursuit of conducting business in a manner that continuously improves the quality of goods and services, reduces costs, increases speed and enhances flexibility to achieve competitive superiority. From a core manufacturing point of view, there are three pillars of operational excellence; they are production planning & control, manufacturing execution and operational effectiveness of people, processes and assets. Tight coordination among these three pillars is required in order to achieve overall operational excellence. Global competitiveness is placing tremendous pressure on cost, quality and responsiveness to customer demands. Some of the key challenges in the process industry are lack of visibility and control into manufacturing exceptions and events in real time and the inability to fulfill customer orders and carry out production operations in a predictable manner. Managers and production personnel cannot measure, monitor, and control performance in real time across people, processes, assets and plants. Reports and surveys have identified following key pressures for process manufacturers: Need to reduce operating costs Need to reduce process operations variability Global competition from low-cost sources Regulatory compliance (FDA, EPA, OSHA, EU) Inability to meet market demands Need to improve brand value Environmental impact Operational Excellence in Manufacturing Industry Operational Excellence is a systematic approach to attaining world class performance in productivity, quality and delivery of services and/or goods. It is the goal of achieving superior yields, lead time and through-put while eliminating waste. Op. Ex. is surrounded around three main pillars: Production Planning and Control Monitor Demand Monitor Inventory Perform Material and Capacity Checks Plan Orders Align Production Supplier Quality Checks Track Deliveries against customer orders Manufacturing Execution Shop Floor Visibility Shop Order Sequencing and Execution Real Time Data Acquisition Data Mining Alarms and Alert Orders Operational Effectiveness of people, processes and assets Operational Excellence is not a destination it is a journey.

Nurturing Leadership Excellence through a Growth Mindset

In the dynamic landscape of leadership, cultivating a growth mindset has emerged as a cornerstone for personal and organizational success. This mindset, grounded in the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work, offers invaluable lessons for leaders aiming to foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement. In this article, we will discuss about the Leadership Excellence through a Growth Mindset.   Introduction: The Power of Growth Mindset  In our fast-paced world, leaders with a growth mindset don’t shy away from challenges; they see them as opportunities to expand. This mindset pushes leaders out of their comfort zones, fostering resilience, adaptability, and a continuous hunger for learning.    Embracing Challenges as Opportunities Leaders with a growth mindset view challenges not as challenging obstacles but as chances to stretch their abilities. For example, imagine a team facing a complex project. A leader with a growth mindset would approach it as a chance to develop new skills, encouraging the team to learn and innovate along the way.    Learning from Setbacks A growth mindset transforms setbacks into stepping stones. Picture a leader whose initiative didn’t yield the expected results. Instead of seeing it as a failure, they see it as an opportunity to learn. By analyzing what went wrong, adjusting strategies, and sharing these insights with the team, they turn setbacks into valuable lessons.    Cultivating a Culture of Continuous Learning Leadership is not a solo journey but a collective effort. Leaders with a growth mindset foster a culture where learning is a shared value. Imagine a workplace where team members are encouraged to attend workshops, pursue online courses, and share newfound knowledge. This culture of continuous learning propels the entire organization forward.    Encouraging Feedback and Improvement A growth mindset thrives on feedback. Leaders actively seek input, viewing it as a channel for improvement. Consider a scenario where a leader regularly requests feedback from team members. This not only creates an environment of open communication but also sets the stage for continuous improvement.    Inspiring a Passion for Learning Leaders are influencers, and those with a growth mindset inspire a passion for learning in others. Picture a leader who, through their commitment to learning, ignites a similar enthusiasm in the team. This inspiration becomes a driving force for innovation and creativity within the organization.    Conclusion: A Growth Mindset Journey  In conclusion, adopting a growth mindset is not just a leadership Excellence strategy; it’s a journey toward excellence. Leaders who embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, cultivate a culture of continuous learning, encourage feedback, and inspire a passion for learning are at the forefront of driving positive change. By fostering a growth mindset, leaders empower themselves and their teams to navigate the complexities of the modern workplace with resilience, adaptability, and a relentless commitment to improvement.
