What causes errors & downtime?
-
Unclear procedures.
Procedures are an established way of performing a task. Without standard procedures, the risk of deviation and errors is very high.
-
Apathetic attitude.
Team members who perceive that their work isn’t important and meaningful often feel discouraged - and perform poorly with more errors.
-
Insufficient training.
Companies shouldn’t solely depend on only training new recruits. The majority of information gained in traditional onboarding and training is often very inefficient and quickly forgotten.
-
Too much control.
Distrust, control, and micro-management are all human behaviors that can deteriorate collaboration and team spirit.

Increasing operational efficiency.
Organizational efficiency is driven by frontline teams on the shop floor and in the field.
Easy access to instructions.
Easily accessible instructions that can be used on any device improve on-time performance and reduce delays.
Continuously develop.
On-the-job skills development should be accessible with instructions, SOPs, OPLs, and checklists.
Develop leadership skills.
Factory supervisors should be trained on leadership skills so they’re able to motivate frontline teams (not overly control them) to achieve goals.
Involve to motivate.
Frontline teams should be involved in the creation of processes to engage them in their jobs and boost day-to-day performance.
