Discover the Power of Digitisation in Manufacturing.
Although the initial returns from investments in shop floor systems can be significant, research reveals that the gains tail off without actions to adapt work processes to the new ecosystem.
It's not just about learning how to use the tech; the real gains come from connecting people and processes to make data work for you, not the other way around. For example moving from time based to usage/condition based Maintenance saves time but the real gains come from stabilising and extending component life. That involves engaging front line users with using the digital ecosystem to identify and deal with the causes of accelerated wear and human error that reduce component life by as much as 50%.
Digitisation changes the dynamics of day to day operation across the Plan, Source, Make and Deliver operations. It is a journey of discovery rather than a one shot silver bullet to fix all ills. A journey of systematic improvement that transforms the role of team leaders, planners, process engineers, quality assurance as well as front line production and maintenance personnel for the better to:
- Enhance current plant effectiveness and workflow coordination,
- Automate administrative tasks,
- Enable high quality data analysis to systematically raise future performance.
In organisations that do this well, the transition is carried out by an internal improvement network where improvement teams, leaders and support personnel collaborate to develop and share best practices that stabilise and ratchet up performance.
This 1 day in house workshop provides a structured “plan the plan” session for internal stakeholders to raise awareness and map out the digisation journey using a blend of TPM and Lean principles to systematically:
- Surface barriers to performance including legacy system weakness and rules of thumb to match priority issues with digital solutions,
- Refine asset care and best practice workflows,
- Adapt roles to support real time workflows and facilitate the development of capabilities,
- Improve use of data to capture lessons learned and gain insights into causal factors,
- Enhance collaboration and establish a proactive improvement culture,
Deliverables
This one day on site training workshop provides a "how to guide" for the movers and shakers of your existing or potential internal improvement network to work together to:
- Identify the potential gains from Digitisation.
- Assess strengths and weaknesses against the practices of award winning and respected organisations.
- Agree priorities for improvement and next steps to deliver those gains.
- Develop a 90 day action plan to kick start the programme.
Contact us to book a session for your organisation to raise awareness of what is possible and develop a plan to unlock the full potential of smart technology in manufacturing.
