A continuación, le indicamos cómo puede navegar por situaciones desafiantes en las operaciones de la planta como ejecutivo.

Its important to take a breath if things go wrong in plant operations.Reassess the situation from the pain point and reallign the process with clear focus on output and efficiency

Plant operations encompass the orchestration of various elements, from machinery and equipment to a skilled workforce and intricate processes. It’s the epicenter of production, where every component works in harmony to achieve production targets, maintain product quality, and ensure operational efficiency. Operational efficiency is at the heart of plant operations. Streamlined processes and consistent productivity are vital for meeting production goals. For manufacturing and production industries, the plant is the backbone of operations. It’s where raw materials are transformed into valuable products, making it a cornerstone of business success.

O que conta muito em situações como essa é a calma e alinhamento interno. Quanto mais coletar perspectivas diferentes sobre um desafio, mais insights terá e o risco das coisas não darem certo diminuem consideravelmente.

While assessing risk is good and required, it needs to be to remain effective by applying graded approach to the risk assessment. Moreover, important vs urgent approach need to be applied for plant issues and navigating their appropriate resolution. Furthermore, interfaces and inter linkages of various risks need to be determined.

Maintaining composure, actively listening, and identifying effective solutions are essential practices for navigating challenging situations and achieving operational efficiency

For crafting strategy, leadership role is crucial to act as a role model to set a direction and appropriate vision. Then collective wisdom should be applied to craft realistic and achievable strategy. Finalized strategy is then cascaded through effective communication to the interested parties. Leaders need to understand that elegant strategies will be failed if not executed and monitored effectively.

There are many different ways and tools to help you monitor progress. As the old adage by Peter Drucker states, “what is not measured cannot be managed,” so remember that forfilling KPIs is the end goal but you must measure the time, value, and challenges to meet each respective KPI.

Encourage regular learning sessions (can be 15 minutes in the morning once a week) with team members, this will allow them a voice and encourage cross training. Invite them to prepare the presentation, again simplicity.

Quality action teams and performance improvement teams can be a good tool for instilling continuous improvement mindset. Plant operations should understand both continual improvement and continuous improvement, hence apply Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle for continuous improvement. Trend analysis should be monitored on ongoing basis to gauge trends and level of improvement being achieved.
