Lean Manufacturing Initiatives Doomed Without Employee Communication

 

Mankato, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2014 -- Manufacturing management practices such as just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing, total quality management (TQM), statistical process control (SPC), and employee involvement (El) were created more than two decades ago. Manufacturing leaders must ask critical questions about the key areas within the organization for competitive improvement; questions regarding essential technologies that will improve these competitive areas with the least cost, and the sequence in which these opportunities should best be addressed. And the levels of rigorous employee feedback, engagement, enrollment, must all be handled in an environment often fraught with strong resistance to change.

Manufacturers' Pain Points, a weekly e-newsletter, examines the pain points on the manufacturing floor, with employees, and best business practices. Leaders are looking for a competitive advantage and to create a corporate culture which achieves the company's long-term goals and success.
