World Class Manufacturing

'World Class Manufacturing' companies:
  • are ahead of their competition on
    • price
    • quality
    • Delivery reliabilty
       
  • produce according to a clear vision
Process improvement with WCM:
  • Starts with Business Goals
  • Simplifies first (low cost / no cost)
  • Clear, realistic targets for Continuous Improvement (S.M.A.R.T.)
World Class Manufacturing…
  • ... is a process, not an event
    ... adresses culture issues
    ... Is deployed from Top to Production Floor
    ... is focussed on elimination of waste and Value-Adding-Time in production
Without clear objectives:
  • No focus...
  • Suboptimalisation...
  • Changing priorities...
  • No pro-activity (What is important...?)
  • Frustration due to changing priorities...
  • "Let's just use the tools and everything will work out just fine"
The Toolbox becomes an objective by itself
