Three practicing managers with years of experience improving
production facilities around the world explain why lean methodology
on its own often fails to deliver productivity gains and how a
holistic package incorporating safety, employee development,
business planning, capital spending, performance management,
quality and lean work can together to deliver results. Improving
productivity is the holy grail of every site manager. But while
three decades of initiatives from Kaizen through TQM to Lean/Six
Sigma have all had an impact, the fact remains that a few companies
outperform the others. This is often because individual change
initiatives address only one aspect of a much more complex problem.
What is needed is a holistic productivity system that addresses
every aspect of production. To implement a productivity system in
practice, you need more than TQM, more that Lean. Based on their
experience managing and improving production facilities around the
world the authors show how there are seven key elements that
combine to create a sustainable productivity system. Leading Beyond
Lean explains how these seven elements work together, and how you
can set up your own bespoke productivity system, like they did. As
practising managers Ostbo, Wetherill and Cattermole have used these
techniques and procedures to deliver improvements in both in safety
and productivity. Helping their sites to become more economically
viable, evolving from "problem sites" with uncertain futures into
vibrant sites that attract reinvestment and growth. They become
cleaner, safer and better organised, and therefore more attractive
places to work in. This book will help any company, any site
manager, and any production director understand what is needed to
set up a lasting productivity system, not in theory, but in
practice - and to deliver outstanding results.
