Industry has always been a pillar of the modern global economy, and its role is regaining attention today. The challenges of reindustrialisation and relocation are renewing the need for more efficient organisations and processes, and calling for better operational management.
For several decades now, global industry has been challenged by an ageing of operational teams and a challenge to attract new talent. It is becoming imperative to revitalise the industrial culture.
Aligning an organisation and strenghtening the industrial culture leads to better performance, greater resilience and increased employee satisfaction, which ultimately contributes to the long-term success of the business.
Production processes are at the heart of industrial performance: controlling and continuously improving them are the keys to reindustrialisation, or at the very least a sine qua non if we are to retain what remains of our industrial activity.
Generate a solid return on investment. Establish a culture of continuous improvement. Structure your performance data and make it more reliable.
Re-industrialisation and relocation are creating new opportunities. You are in a phase of conquest. You want to penetrate new markets or win back lost market shares.
Your methods and processes are aligned to conquer new markets. Your R&D, production and sales departments are better coordinated. Your sales force is more efficient, and your turnover increases without penalising your profitability.
You’re growing fast, or even out of control, so you need to keep it under control. In some industries, the market is taking off again and you have to cope with a sudden increase in the output of your production lines, with new products whose production process may not have stabilized.
Your plant or production is rapidly adapted to handle higher volumes. Your sales increase without penalising your profitability. A collective approach to continuous improvement that leads to real empowerment and responsibility for production operators and managers.
You’re in an optimisation phase. Volumes are stable, but faced with pressure from competitors, you need to reduce costs and optimise your logistics. You’re looking for improved performance, even if the current figures are good and your teams are meeting their targets.
Reduce production and storage costs. Eliminate waste and delays, and thereby improving overall quality. Establish a collective performance culture and improve supplier relations.
