Plant ManagersOne of the most challenging jobs in any company is to be the leader of a manufacturing facility. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of employees work and depend on the competence and leadership of their plant manager. And without fail, the easiest place in a business to start Priority Thinking® is right on your company's factory floor. Whether you're a small production shop or a large scale production facility, Priority Thinking® is essential to building up a healthy company culture and insuring your success as an operations leader. Implementing lean methods work best when their foundation rests upon Priority Thinking®. Competition is tougher than ever. The finest run plants know how to eliminate waste to improve their speed (lean) and reduce variation in their process to improve quality (six sigma). But these kinds of initiatives often fail because basic priorities are not followed. If you want to make a breakthrough in operational performance, make sure your employees understand the priorities first. To be effective, a plant manager must know and practice the priorities. The Plant Manager's Forum is for the operations leader who is looking to make his facility the very best! Our list of topics in the plant forum is coming soon!
