BEING STABLE IN A DISRUPTIVE ENVIRONMENT
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed tremendous amounts of pressure on businesses to respond quickly to the current economic disruption. However, reacting too swiftly with quick fixes further adds unnecessary risk to business.
This programme provides the necessary lean methodologies that you can utilize to develop the KAIZEN (continuous self-development) and KAIRYO (continuous improvement) strategies to sustain, and even prosper, during these challenging times.
A more analytical & critical thinking approach is therefore required in order to face the pandemic challenges and to recover from it and sustain future growth.
Adopting Lean methodologies remains critical to business operations at this time. Leaders are required to respond by bringing forward solutions to drive and sustain all levels of operations. A Lean approach, using current resources, can provide the stable direction that would result in increased productivity, and a flexible and agile response to market changes.
OUR 5-STEP COVID PROGRAMME
1. Grasp an understanding of the core philosophy of LEAN, its principles, the tools used and the identification of categories of Waste (non-value adding activities).
2. Shifting the off-site ‘workplace’ mindset, towards measuring and on-time delivery of organisational targets through early planning on what comes next and preparing in advance.
3. Optimising labour, materials and equipment during the pandemic. Focuses on helping increase productivity while reducing headcount, by removing the large amounts of process “waste”.
4. Reviewing the supply chain process to eliminate ‘bottle-necks’, and maintaining flexible and agile performance management of the process using root cause analysis techniques.
5. Embedding the right COVID response behaviours within all levels of the team to improve product quality, services and processes, through Kaizen and critical thinking methodologies.
