The
global economy is requiring manufacturers
to build products faster, better and
cheaper. But a multiple-shift
operations poses a challenge because of
the potential for “disconnects”
that result in reduced throughput, more
waste and longer lead times.
Plants
that operate multiple shifts face the 5C
challenge: maintaining communication,
coordination, continuity, consistency and
commitment - across all shifts. To be
cost-efficient, plants need a system of
common goals and a seamless flow of
information and materials across shifts
and processes.
We at
Granite Bay have studied the unique
challenges of shift operations for over 20
years. This two-day seminar will
highlight Best Practices in 24-Hour
Management from the world’s most
competitive plants. It is jam-packed with
practical tips, techniques and strategies
for building a high-performance multishift
operation. By learning how to apply Best
Practices, you’ll achieve measurable
improvements in Cost, Quality, Delivery,
Safety and Morale in less than a
year.
So
whether you’re looking to streamline
information flow, improve equipment and
capacity utilization or explore
alternative scheduling systems, this
seminar will address practical, proven
solutions.
