Getting results with action
September 13, 2009 by david.evanson
The improvement of production performance is achieved through the combination of great quality data, robust management review, and the application of operator and technical skills and experience.
Therefore: I.F. you ACT you get RESULTS
Whereby (Information x Focus) x Actions = Results
The formulae suggests:
Inaccurate information = poor results
Inadequate focus = poor result
Low no. of decisions / actions = poor results
If you act you get results
Defining what you really want:
Information = Using XL800 at a tactical level – understanding the real root cause of your biggest losses
Focus = Man hours focusing on information that lead to decision making – or number of tactical performance reviews combined with the number of people involved
Actions = Commitment to a high number of speedily executed mix of maintaining, proactive (changing) and updating actions
MANAGE AND MEASURE THE INPUTS AND THE RESULTS ARE GUARANTEED!
Measuring the inputs:
Information – number of top losses identified that are effecting OEE and getting to the root causes
Focus – number of tactical and strategic reviews taking place and the number of relevant individuals involved
Actions – the number of type 1, 2 and 3 actions taking place
When these three areas are aligned then Results are inevitable. The data could be collected manually at the end of each shift and put into Excel (or similar), however the ultimate, is to have electronically collected pinpoint accurate data that is available in real time, from each machine. This data can then be analysed and displayed on the shop floor, in team meeting rooms, in fact anywhere in the manufacturing facility.
