TrueNord’s experience with a large number of manufacturing businesses reveals that the productivity gap between the top & average performers can be as high as 30%. The gap varies by industry, but productive operations maintain low product cost and high product availability performance than others. High performers invariably make higher profits per unit, and they better fulfill customer expectations. Therefore, highly productive operations support two fundamental objectives of any business;

​

·        Making more money

·        Making customers happy

 

While operational productivity & excellence bring fundamental benefits, potential benefits are easier to articulate than ideal execution strategy. Most organisations fail with their operational productivity & excellence initiatives due to poor execution, they intend to do the right things but fail by doing things incorrectly. Impact of failure can be as detrimental as diminishing employee engagement and loss of trust to senior leadership.

 

Successful initiatives combine OpEx know-know with a thorough behavioral change plan and project management capability. Whether it is achieving higher equipment utilization with OEE improvements, or reaching high-quality levels and labour effectiveness or reducing defects with increased first-pass yield, reducing inventory, or increasing up-time by productive maintenance, organisations must prioritise potentials and adopt a proven execution strategy.
