One of the Primary  Reasons Why 80% of Lean Manufacturing Initiatives Fail to Meet Expectations

One of the primary reasons would be failure to establish goals and expect-ations, track daily/weekly progress and carry out corrective actions if and when required. Determining motivational performance metrics, establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to track performance, and establishing a Kaizen approach to continuous improvement is paramount to achieving positive, sustainable change initiative results. To discover an effective  Performance Management Training Program (including the development of the Performance Scorecard)... stay connected and continue your reading.

If you've ever said, "There must be a better way." ... there is, and it's not more computerization!

If you’re pursuing a computer hardware and/or software solution to your problems; you may have the “cart before the horse!”  If you’re not focused on identifying and mastering performance management basics, no level of training program sophistication will get you to where you want to go.

Do you want to optimize personal and company success? If so... you need to study and master the basics of performance management. "Many historic, recurring day-to-day problems (perhaps the same problems that plague your operation) can be permanently eliminated by a tenacious execution of Bill's,  Tutorial, "The 7-Essentials of Performance Measurement and the Balanced Scorecard. 

And Bill's tutorial makes it easy for you and your company to study,
implement, and master the Essentials of Performance Management. Essentials for optimizing MRP, ERP results... Essentials for increasing speed, improving quality and reducing non-value-added costs... Essentials for bullet-proofing continuous improvements that will improve customer satisfaction... Essentials for creating a fun working environment.
 


Lean Manufacturing Training
It's the "how to" that really counts!

"Bill Gaw's training is focused on the "how to." Unlike other training materials that tell you only what you need to do... Bill's training presents what you need to do and then he shows you how to do it.

"Bill is one of the most prolific individuals in the consulting industry and profession. He is a true thought leader and a great coach -- one of the best. His advice is golden and he has the respect of his colleagues worldwide. We all religiously read his articles and news-letters because they are informative, educational and right on the mark."

The 7-Essentials for Performance Management

1. The Strategic Plan: The strategic plan is the result of a business process that many companies employ to identify their critical success targets that set the course for future growth and profits. Lewis Carroll in “Alice in Wonderland” makes a good case for it: “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” said Alice. “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where…,” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

2. The Balanced Scorecard: Financial numbers may tell us we’re winning the war, but it takes a balanced scorecard to focus our energy and efforts to win each of the battles along the way.

3. Overcoming Objections: Let’s not forget that we’re in the business of promoting improvements. There are many reasons why positive change is difficult, the most significant is all the objections and obstacles that are placed in the way of your progress. Don’t become a member of this negative force, they are the losers. Remember, there can be no status quo; if you are not gaining, then you are losing!   

4. Information Integrity: Bottom line expectations will not be achieved when day-to-day production  and  business  training programs  are driven  by  inaccurate,  untimely  and  uncontrolled data  and/or documentation.

5. Team Dynamics: It is extremely important to understand that results gained from a Strategic Planning Program will be in direct proportion to the amount of empowerment granted to self-directed work teams.

6. Structure and Deployment: There are three types of business managers: Those who track the score and know that they are winning the competitive battle…those who track the score and know that they are losing the competitive battle…and those who don’t track the score and are not even in the competitive battle.

7. Kaizen Management: If your manufacturing team can handle only one strategic initiative at a time, then let it be the implementation of a “quick-hitting” kaizen management program. There just isn’t any other more important program in our pursuit of profits.

Another customer saying it even better than we can:

"Thank Bill for the "Free-be". I can already see where I can apply much of it to my office operation. By the way, I did not just buy the Training Library I bought the "Performance Measurement Training Package." The Training Library has been reviewed and re-reviewed many times already and many slides used to train some of my staff. Thanks for a great product."

What Everyone Ought to Know About Training

Why Do Most Training Options Fail

Because most training materials today are either:

*  Adobe .pdf e-books with little or no effective graphics to
   optimize learning

*  PowerPoint presentations with no commentary to drive
   home the “how to” of each slides

*  Videos that deliver information at super speeds but with
   comprehension difficulties

*  Seminars/webinars that present a lot of materials however
   most attendee’s retention rate is less than 25% and relev-
   ant, at-home implementation rarely get started.

Bill Gaw’s PowerPoint-Plus Training

Bill's "PowerPoint-Plus" training materials includes powerful, PowerPoint charts and graphics, "plus" annotated note pages with “how to make-it-happen” commentary and "lessons learned" by a "been there, done that" performance management professional.

Our customers study the content, print tutorial sections and highlight passages that are important to understanding how to successfully implement an effective performance management training program. The resultant blueprint is used for team direction, motivation and successful implementa-tion. E-books, standard PowerPoint presentations, videos, and seminars/ webinars just don’t provide the same results.

 


Below is an example of one the 356-PowerPoint
slides with its relevant note page:


Note Page

Without data, you’re just another opinion. That says it all. To continuously improve our processes, we need to first learn how to capture and then apply statistical data to our situation analysis. This action is a primary requisite to effective problem solving. Slide 3-3 presents an overview of a management by facts training program.

Lesson Learned: The more that people use real time data to perform situation analysis and to establish and track corrective actions, the more comfortable and effective they become at interpreting and applying data-on-the-run. It is my contention that exceptional leaders make quick and quality decisions because they have mastered the skill of interpreting data-on-the-run. When a leader says, “That doesn’t sound right to me. What about .. . . .?” He has put to use, what I call, the test of reasonableness and this ability separates the exceptional leaders from the pack. To develop the ability to apply the “test of reasonableness,” a leader must first become an expert at interpreting data-on-the-run.
 

A Huge Learning Difference

If you were watching a video, attending a seminar, or a webinar would you be able to take down the above in your notes for later reference... I don't think so. With Bill Gaw's approach, there is no need to take notes because you have the training slides, slide commentary, and "lessons learned" for future reference and organizational training.
