Recommendation

All factories struggle, writes seasoned manufacturing executive Rob Tracy. Sooner or later, your plant will fall behind in on-time delivery, your workforce will lose morale and the production calendar will fill up with emergency “hot list” scheduling. Tracy points out that getting a factory back in shape may be hard, but it’s not complicated. He explains step-by-step how to identify weaknesses, set attainable goals, get the cooperation of the whole organization and make improvements that last.

Take-Aways

  • Repairing a troubled factory is a five-stage process.
  • Stage one: Lay the groundwork.
  • Stage two: Identify the factors undermining performance.
