Operational Excellence | Organisation
In our most recent blog we look at the third (of 15) main KPA that forms part of an Operational Excellence programme - Organisation.
Organisation
A well-structured organisation provides guidance to employees by clearly showing the official reporting relationships that govern the workflow of the plant. A formal outline of the structure makes it easier to add new positions as required, as well as providing a flexible and ready means of growth
The Structure
The structure needs to be designed to allow for rapid decision-making which is filtered through every level. For this to happen, communication is key.
Teamworking
Teamworking should be supported, and regular team briefings will aid the communication process and build a sense of belonging.
Skills
Skills analysis and training should be formalised and managed to create a level of flexibility and competence at all levels with follow ups in place to help staff expand their roles.
Effective Organisation
An effective organisation structure will give employees more clarity, help manage their expectations, enable better decision-making, and provide consistency within the business.
If you are looking to transform your manufacturing performance, then you may need to re-evaluate your organisations structure.
The first step to reviewing this is by completing an Operational Excellence programme.
