Achieving Year on Year Improvement

Manufacturers worldwide are navigating increasingly complex challenges—rising costs, operational inefficiencies, and ever-demanding customer expectations. While many organisations strive for operational excellence, few achieve the sustained, year-on-year improvements that separate industry leaders from the rest.

Find out how our training, facilitation and coaching support can help your organisation to replicate the success of industry leading organisations.

The Path to Operational Excellence

Achieving year-on-year improvement is not just about tools or strategies—it’s about building a culture of continuous improvement.

That involves developing capabilities to join the dots between daily/weekly/monthly improvement activities so that:

The systematic reduction in hidden losses becomes part of a routine management process.
Those closest to the detail have the support and guidance where needed to identify root causes and develop effective countermeasures that prevent breakdowns, assure systematic progress toward zero defects and no touch production.

The rewards—higher efficiency, lower costs, and a more engaged workforce—are well worth the effort.

Why TPM Is fundamental to Excellence

Organisations that successfully deliver lasting improvement, invest time in creating TPM Centres of Excellence because it is a practical way to:

Develop workforce capability to prevent the causes of failure,
Engage front line teams with reducing the causes of accelerated wear and improving problem prevention as part of the daily routine.
Tap into the enhanced connectivity provided by digitisation and smart technology.

The outcome of this process is front line "improvement pull" which provides a vehicle for local leaders to shape outlook and reinforce proactive behaviours.

How Lean Maintenance Ratchets Up Effectiveness

Lean Maintenance supports the TPM centre of excellence programme to remove the causes of recurring problems and redirect engineer time to:

Improve asset care work routines and develop internal skills to stabilise and extend component life,
Remove waste and non value adding activities such as unplanned adjustments from work routines,
Enhance process effectiveness and release asset potential.

The outcome is increased capacity, reduced defects, improved material yield, lower energy cost per unit and improved resilience to shifts in demand.

Why Manufacturing Project Management Skills Are Part Of The Mix

New products and services are a fundamental part of modern manufacturing. That can also involve the introduction of new assets and technology. For that reason, Manufacturing Project Management is part of the journey to excellence. Learn more about how that and Early Equipment Management impact on the pace of improvement, return on investment and the ability to take advantage of advances in technology.
