Costs are not there to calculate them but to reduce them!
Are you working to strengthen your business foundations, satisfy all stakeholders with sustainable growth and returns?
Or, fighting costs, employee engagement, quality of product and delivery dates for customers?
It does not have to be that way. You are only one step away from making a conscientious and wise decision to set on a path towards sustainable growth and returns for your business.
One quick way which will allow you to see if you are going in the right direction is the;
Rapid Plant Assessment – Based on the 4 stages of company development from the TPS assessment readiness system.
Too many businesses simply struggle to attain some form of a stable business. Where, customers are delivered products of the right quality on time, employees are engaged and shareholders see a stable return on their investment.
Have you grappled with the results of your employee engagement surveys, thinking what to do next – well for over 20 years, we have advised the companies that actually devised those motivation and engagement surveys.
Have you lost nights sleep over customer complaints and rejected production items!. Just to once again write-off as scrap all those products, or, spend even more money on re-work. What quality guru’s will not be able to tell you is that Quality, starts from Quality Assurance and one of the most powerful quality culture building tools is the Andon. Learn how to build a Quality Lean Culture through touch-points, just as we were taught at Toyota.
What about costs. I’m sure you are working hard to reduce those costs, and even been persuaded by Lean experts to do Kaizen. But, are your unit costs of sales falling?. Why not!. Have you ever thought about what Kaizen really means. We have scanned the best books written by experts, heard the most influential speakers at lean conferences talk about Lean and Kaizen and never once did we hear or read anything which closely relates to kaizen as explained at Toyota.
Engaged Employees, Quality first time-right, Costs decreasing incrementally, does that not sound like a great strategy for 2025!
To quickly and at low cost set you off in the right direction for re-aligning your Strategy for 2025, we propose you take the Rapid Plant Assessment – Based on the 4 stages of company development from the TPS system, a one or two day visit which will provide you with an objective assessment of your key strategic and value stream activities, provide invaluable advice and recommendations. After which, you will be given a copy of the Rapid Plant Assessment – RPA to use with your senior and middle management leaders.
