The Reality of Transforming Knowledge into Action
Most leaders attend training programs and conferences with great expectations? They leave motivated and inspired and ready to apply everything they learned to help their team and company become "best-in-class" but because of process constraints and status quo road-blocks... their plans never get implemented.
Management Development
Below are not our words… they’re the words of Mike Myatt in an article published in Forbes.com. Mike is recognized by Thinkers50 as one of the preeminent management thinkers globally, he is a management advisor to Fortune 500 CEOs and Boards and a Senior Fellow at the Gordian Institute. He is widely regarded as America's Top CEO Coach.
”Most
management development
programs don’t even come
close to
accomplishing what they were designed to
do –
build better leaders.”
”While training is often accepted
as productive, it rarely is.
The terms training
and development have somehow become
synonymous when they are
clearly not.”
”Don’t train leaders, coach them,
mentor them, disciple them,
and develop
them, but please don’t attempt to train
them.”
”Training is something leaders
dread and will try to avoid,
whereas
they will embrace and look forward to
development.
Development is
nuanced, contextual, collaborative,
fluid, and
above all else, actionable.”
Such writings inspired Bill Gaw to develop a Management Development Program with one-on-one e-Coaching that marries Mr. Myatt's manage-ment development philosophy with Bill's "been there, done that" lean manufacturing and operation excellence knowledge and "make-it-happen" skills. The result was the creation of the:

The 10-EAN Manufacturing e-Courses
Course No. 1: Strategic Planning & Tactical Execution - Strategic planning is a business process that many companies employ to identify their critical success targets that set the course for future growth and profits. Manufacturing participation in the process is crucial to assure support of company strategic objective.
Course No. 2: Information Integrity - MRPII/ERP expectations will not be achieved when day-to-day production and manufacturing/ supply chain control systems are driven by inaccurate, untimely and uncontrolled data and/or documentation.
Course No. 3: Performance Management - Financial numbers may tell us who's winning the war, but it takes a motivational performance/balanced scorecard measurement system to win all the battles along the way. Remember, without data lean champions are just another opinion.
Course No. 4: Value Stream Mapping - Analysis of the processes which the maps represent help you increase customer satisfaction by identifying actions to reduce process cycle time, decrease defects, reduce costs, establish customer-driven process performance measures, reduce non-value-added steps, and increase productivity are a few.
Course No. 5: Kaizen Management - If your business team can handle only one strategic initiative at a time, then let it be the implementation of a “quick-hitting” kaizen program. There just isn’t any other more important manufacturing program in our pursuit of profits.
Course No. 6: Sequential Production and Team Dynamics- Effective shop floor control has proven elusive as we have upgraded our manufacturing control system from MRP to MRPII and then to ERP. To capture control of shop floor activities, we need to stop beating a “dead horse” and implement the Sequential Production Process and Team Dynamics. The winners are!.
Course No. 7: Point-of-Use Supply Chain Management -Companies will never achieve their lean manufacturing expectations as long as business leaders continue to talk about value-added supplier partnerships, while continuing to deal with their suppliers as adversaries. And, the elimination of the stockroom (a high non-value added contributor), as we know it today, should be high priority on the "to do" list..
Course No. 8: Cycle Time Management - If your manufacturing team can handle only one kaizen project at a time, then let it be the reduction of total build/test cycle time. There just isn’t any other more important control factor in our pursuit of cost reduction and customer satisfaction.
Course No. 9: Production Linearity - Companies will never achieve their full growth and profit potential if they produce more than 25% of their monthly shipment plan in the last week of the month or more than 33% of their quarterly shipment plan in the last month of the quarter. As companies struggle to remain competitive, one of the strategies by which gains in speed, quality and costs can be achieved is to pursue and achieve linear production.
Course No. 10: Sales & Operations Planning - Bringing sanity to shop floor and supplier scheduling requires continuously improving the integration of sales forecasts, master schedules and day-to-day schedules. The effective management of the SOP process is critical to profit maximization and customer service.
